umbraco MVP Per Ploug Hansen aka Mr. "objects.dk" will join umbraco (the company) as a partner from February 1st. This is absolutely stunning news and a sure sign of what 2008 will bring.
Both Per and I have worked hard on making this possible over the last couple of months. Per is one of the most talented people in the umbraco community and have been around since the very start.
The umbraco project grew more than 990% last year, which was great but also meant that more and more time is spend just keeping up with all the great mails, requests and questions coming. As many of you know it was the plan to launch several new products last year, but none of them got done. I simply couldn't find the time to do it.
With Per coming we'll be two. That's a huge difference. We can share the load and both get "free weeks" where we can have full focus on development. It'll be great for the business, but also great for the community and the project.
We've made documentation the number one priority for 2008. This means that products Forms and Courier will be further postponed, but in return we'll release some fabulous new documentation and learning products that'll make it much easier to discover and master all the power in umbraco - without having to travel to wonderful Copenhagen, Denmark for a course.
Thank you Per for joining - let's get back to work and make 2008 "the year of umbraco".
