Among other things, I was trying to get them to open an Austin office. There&#8217;s plenty of IT management (and IdM) people running around down here spawning all sorts of folks like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveruns.com\" rel=\"client\">FiveRuns<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiceworks.com\/\" rel=\"client\">Spiceworks<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netqos.com\/\">NetQoS<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmc.com\/\" rel=\"client\">BMC<\/a> campus, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solarwinds.com\/\">Solarwinds<\/a>, and, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibm.com\/tivoli\" rel=\"client\">IBM Tivoli<\/a> taking root back in the 90&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>A few days after barcampESM, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zenoss.com\/news\/archive\/zenosspressrelease.2008-01-21.2106032992\">Zenoss announced $11M in new funding<\/a>, which made the possibilities of actually opening up a new office a real option. A bit later, Zenoss mentioned they were thinking seriously about opening an Austin office.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Austin office is staffed and open, comprised of several excellent folks I&#8217;ve worked with previously and know for a quit some time, among them: <a href=\"http:\/\/leastresistance.wordpress.com\/2008\/04\/18\/my-new-gig\/\">Matt Ray<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrchippy.net\/blog\/?p=46\">Chip Holden<\/a>.
