Opentext has a fascinating history. It began as an academic project at the University of Waterloo. The researchers were looking to digitize the Oxford English Dictionary, and created an early search engine, similar to Project Gutenberg. The private company spun out of that work.

No lifeboat badge today, so we'll shout out SDK, who claimed the benefactor badge for placing a bounty on his question: How to make a dynamic slide up transition? Seems like it worked, as the question now has an accepted answer :)

Gina Bianchini grew up in Cupertino in the 70's & 80's, which was a place where people were tinkerers and creators. What she learned from that experience was a deep appreciation for the interests and passions of people. When the early days of social tech happened, she fell in love with how they worked - specially around creating communities. Outside of tech, she played field hockey at Stanford and a solid career. Fun fact, you can't cross check in field hockey, which was news to me. Now a days, she loves to hike, read, and hangout with her friends, family and her husband.

Gina has created community tools before, and has discovered that people who are creating and participating in these online communities are phenomenal. So much so, that she set out to do it again, in order to unlock the power of community in people's lives.

Omer Rosenbaum lives in Tel Aviv, with his wife and 3 month old son. He loves to teach, and he shares his knowledge on his YouTube channel. He loves coffee, traveling, meeting new people, and learning languages (not just coding languages). In High School, he took an after school Pascal class - and he loved it. And around that time, he installed a virus on his computer, and established a new hobby for him - virus removal. As military service is obligatory, he spent several years in the Israeli military and learned a ton.

Despite the skill level of engineers these days, Omer found that the onboarding processes of many companies were too costly. After discussing this issue with many end users, they confirmed that the world of knowledge sharing was broken... and they wanted to fix it.
