A new Day - a new job - a new challenge
as product manager for their line of collaboration software, together with Alexander and Alexander, who will join Day as software developers. This means, Day has managed to hire the core team of Mindquarry and is able to absorb our know-how and ideas for Day's products.
If you ask me why - there are two answers. When Mindquarry has to close, from my point of view it did not because our topic - collaboration - had been solved by other players in the market. From my point of view, there are too many open questions in collaboration that I want to answer and too many collaboration problems that I want to solve. So the first answer is that the vision of collaborative workspaces for all knowledge workers is still intriguing for me. The second answer is that Day is the company that can execute this vision. My first contact with Day was when we started using Apache Jackrabbit for Mindquarry. Jackrabbit is the reference implementation for the Java Content Repository Specification and Day is deeply committed to both. Then I met David Nüscheler briefly at the ApacheCon Europe in Amsterdam, was impressed by his deep involvement in Jackrabbit, JCR and his technical vision. Much later I learned that he is actually CTO of Day. Day also employs Carsten and Bertrand, whose work I value very highly and other prominent developers, engineers and scientists. From later talks with David and my investigations around microsling I learned that Day's vision of collaboration and content management, Day's understanding of technical problems is very close to mine and that I have found the ideal partner in terms of vision and ability to execute for creating ground-breaking new collaboration applications.
I am very happy for being able to take this opportunity and to be able to continue my work that started with Mindquarry. To everyone who supported me and my ideas with Mindquarry, I would like to say thank you and invite you to keep in touch to create better software for better collaboration.
