If the “CubeSpace pioneers” have profiles on LinkedIn, I suggest that the people who know them write LinkedIn-based recommendations that will then appear in their profiles. If they are not yet in the LinkedIn group “PDX Technical Professionals,” then they should be added (regardless of their technical skill level). Then someone can write a discussion item on that LinkedIn group that suggests hiring them, perhaps to take advantage of their highly networked status in the PDX tech community. (FYI: I’m the author of “The Creative Problem Solver’s Toolbox.” Just ask if you want more creative solutions.)

Thanks for sharing their story with us all. I only just found out about them 3 weeks ago, and was happy to join the rally to save them on Twitter. I’m very sorry things didn’t work out (sigh), and am also equally happy to try to help and support them any way I can during this difficult transition. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Janet, I know that David & Eva will have more information up on the newly-formatted/designed CubeSpace website next week – including bios, experience & other information that should give you more information. There will also be information/availability info there for CubeSpace staff as well: Robin, Beth & Emily.

Yes, I will help as much as I can. I’m bad at guessing what Eva and David might need, but I take direction quite well.

A question: What kind of jobs? I know the desperation of “I’m going to go work in the paint department at Home Depot, if they’ll have me,” but ideally? What type of work/jobs would approach desirable?

I remember meeting Eva at the 2007 OSCON and wished that something like Cubespace is available in Indiana. Such a great person. Tell them that they have my prayers and that they are more than happy to e-mail me for moral support.

I’m also happy to help in any way. Moving boxes, hauling stuff, moral support, whatever. Just let me know.

Well put, Betsy. Anything I can to do help out, say the word.

Bravo Betsy.

Anything to make a difficult transition easier for David and Eva is exactly the kind of activity I can get behind, 100%. Here’s hoping we can all turn our sadness at the loss of CubeSpace in to something constructive to help the people who made it the place we knew and loved.
