I'm happy to say that Cisco has completed its acquisition of Jabber, Inc. My start date at Webb Interactive Services (original parent of Jabber, Inc.) was November 1, 1999, and my start date at Cisco was October 31, 2008. Just a day shy of 9 years! I'm looking forward to many more years of working on Jabber, XMPP, and real-time communication.
For auld lange syne I figured I'd post a photo of the lobby sign at the Jabber Inc. offices. :)
