Well we are almost ready for ignition. The number of ducks continues to increase and the time it has taken to line them up has surprised me but the little dudes are now almost in a row. I expect the application process for team based space should start before the end of the month of November. Stay tuned for that. I plan on having weekly updates for the short term moving to multiple posts per week as we get closer to lift off.

We have our first founding partner who I hope to name next week when the ink on the contract is dry. One of the tasks that I am currently working on is to recruit founding partners to help add credibility to the project and coin to the treasury. TheCodeFactory will have up to eight founding partners and I expect to hear back from many of the other candidates by the end of next week. If you know an organization that might be interested in being a founding partner please feel free to contact me.

The fit up estimates will all be submitted by Monday November 5th and based on that I will be finalizing the team that will build out TheCodeFactory. The fit up team should be sorted out by the end of next week. On that note in order to keep costs down TheCodeFactory will be doing some work with volunteer labour from the start-up community.

A good old fashion barn raising! That’s right TheCodeFactory inaugural event will be analogous to a barn raising you know like in the movie Witness when Harrison Ford helped the Amish raise a barn. Substitute start-up volunteers for Harrison Ford and substitute sanding floors, varnishing floors and painting walls with the barn and you get the picture. When will this happen, not exactly sure there are a couple of time dependant variables in the equation such as building permits to deal with but, I will keep the posts coming.

If you have any questions about TheCodeFactory about please feel free to contact me at anytime.

Cheers,
