Hi list. Redpill-Linpro (RL) has been the main sponsor of Varnish for the last three years.
RL is a services company, generating most (probably over 95%) of its revenue on selling services and products in its local Scandinavian market. Developing a product for a global market takes a different kind of organization and a different kind of focus. Therefore RL has decided to form a separate company around Varnish: Varnish Software AS. The company will initially consist of Tollef Fog Heen, Kristian Lyngstøl and myself, all moving from Redpill Linpro. Our sales will intially be handled by Redpill Linpro. We'll expand the staff with more people in the months to come. So, what does this mean for Varnish? 1. Varnish continues as a BSD-Licensed Open Source project. 2. Varnish users worldwide will be able to get competent commercial services, both contracting and service contracts, from a company who specializes in Varnish and high performance web delivery. 3. We will be able to spend more time and money on developing Varnish. Our goal is to make Varnish a de-facto standard for high performance web sites. We're not quite there yet - but we will be. Some of Redpill Linpros service agreement customers will be transferred to the new entity and some will continue to be handled directly by R-L. We are hoping to sign up other partners to cover the whole world. Don't hesitate getting directly in touch with me if you want to discuss partnership, employment, a support agreement or if you are just plain curious. Every detail isn't ironed out yet and more information will be made available later. Regards.
