I have a new adventure in front of me, a new opportunity to pursue, something very new to do. As of Monday April 17, I will be working for a vendor of collaboration software, in a product strategy and market communications role. I'm very, very excited / thrilled / delighted at the opportunity that has opened up to make a significant impact on people's lives through helping with the design and delivery of great collaboration software ... it will be perfect for driving toward some of the ideas and concepts that I've spoken freely about here at Shared Spaces.
Who will I be working for? All will become clear ... soon.
Congratulations.... looking forward to more details (and I hope you're not a competitor!)

Congrats Michael! Now you gotta make-do on all of those Reports and Papers you've written in the past! I'm sure your skills will be very welcomed in your new venture.

All the best Michael. Does this rule out CTC conference in Boston this year then?

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm blown away.
* Ed, yes, in some segments of the market, we'll be a competitor
* Isaac, yes, me and my big mouth!
* Peter, but of course :-)
* Simon, actually, I couldn't come to CTC in Boston anyway. But I'm involved in its planning, so it will be a great show.

Congratulations Michael, are you able to work from home or at least Christchurch, or do you have to search a new home?
