pingVision's Drupal services go Platinum as Acquia Partner

It happened several weeks ago, and the official announcement went out ~~yesterday~~ Wednesday, so I figured it's time to blog it: pingVision is an Acquia Platinum Partner, offering IA/TA, web design, development, deployment, performance tuning and consulting services for sites built using Acquia Drupal^*.

Acquia truly escalated the Drupal world when it came out with its commercially supported distribution of Drupal. Nothing is lost. It's all gain. Because Acquia Drupal is still Drupal, still free, still licensed under the GPL. And it's co-founded by Drupal creator Dries Buytaert, meaning it's not at all likely to go off on its own fork. (Dries not only wouldn't want to, it wouldn't make business sense in the open source ecosystem.)

Check out the community modules included in Acquia Drupal:

What a difference a couple of years make

Last month marked our 2-year anniversary in our current office — or, rather, one of our current office suites.
Now we're looking at some possible new office spaces where we will make our home next, and that has me looking back at the life lived inside these walls. In a way, it's hard to believe we've been here two years already. Yet it also feels like where we were two years ago was more like a million years ago. Times change.

Our partners, resources and affiliations

Druplicon We are big proponents of the open source revolution that is sweeping the globe. This is about self-empowerment.

We design and build many of our websites using Drupal, which we've found to be an elegant, powerful and very flexible CMS. As beneficiaries of the hard work done there, we actively participate in the Drupal community.

Although we are not attending DrupalCon Szeged 2008, we support the Drupal community and the Drupal Association.

As we grow, we hope to contribute more to these development efforts.

pingVision wins design awards

Today we received word that two of our designs were award winners in the Horizon Interactive Awards.

The BlogHer community website, which we developed over a year ago, is a Gold Winner in the 2007 Blog category.

BlogHer was developed on Drupal 4.6. (We launched just before 4.7 was ready.)

Why we support Net Neutrality

pingVision supports Net Neutrality.

We do so because, frankly, our business depends upon it. Our business model is all about designing and developing dynamic websites to help businesses, organizations, educational institutions, communities, individuals and governments to open up lines of communication, promote their wares, share their knowledge, exchange their views and engage in conversations. Anybody can have a website. Websites are valuable ... but only if they are accessible.

A month of anniversaries

The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benedictions.

-William Wordsworth, Intimations of Immortality

Two years ago

Wow. Two years ago we launched this pingVision site. Actually, as I write this, it was about two years and nineteen or so hours ago. I had been working with Drupal for several months at that point, helping people when I could and eventually parlaying that activity into some freelance work.

pingVision was the beginning of a formalization of that -- a shingle for a business partnership with my friend and colleague, Katherine Lawrence, as we contemplated a business plan incorporating Drupal web development, DVD authoring and other interactive media notions not yet ready for public discussion, into a coherent plan for world domination ... or at least a means to make a decent living.

Happy birthday, pingVision!

A year ago last week

We forged pingVision into a limited liability company a year ago last Wednesday. Alas, we had no birthday cake on hand -- too busy -- so we at the office just enjoyed memories of the seven-layer fudge cake we had for Drupal's fifth birthday the previous week.

Since that time a year ago,

In new offices

We reached a new little milestone in our company today by moving into our new offices in downtown Boulder, Colorado. We took over 2/3 of the first floor of this building ... which doesn't seem like all that much space, now that we're here.

It's a vast improvement over the virtual office life, where work is always there, just a few steps from the kitchen and bedroom and television. For some, I suppose, working at home would provide too much temptation to goof off.
