The times they are a-changin’. In the next couple of weeks the Omnium team here in Sydney will be undergoing some major shifts in personnel. On the outer:

• Sam Bauers will be leaving us to work full-time with Automattic Inc., makers of WordPress blogging software and wordpress.com free blogging service. Sam was our Technical Director and Lead Developer for several years and reared Omnium software from a fledgling e-learning platform to a powerful, open source web application.
• Charles Santoso is joining production company Animal Logic as a designer in their art department, no doubt we’ll see some of his amazing creations in the upcoming Happier Feet. Charles is so talented it sometimes scares me, he has been working as our graphic designer, bringing artistic flair to our work.
• Paul Jebanasam is leaving our shores for Bristol to follow his dreams in music. No doubt Paul will be ripping out some whacky, phat dubstep beats at the local underground haunts, while dodging muggers with his ninja skills. Paul wrote integral parts of Omnium Software, kept those servers at bay and brought a sense of style to the office.

These three guys will be sorely missed, however they have all met their calling and are moving on to greener pastures.

In light of these departures, Uncle Sam has been on the recruitment trail. Our fresh recruits include:

• Paul Rogers is joining us as a new Web Developer, and is now our W-w-windows developer and has already contributed to the Omnium Software
• Giorgio Mandolfo has just joined us all the way from Milan, Italy bringing some exotic System administration flavour to Omnium
