Cadalyst Lives on!
Submitted by rkmcswain on Wed, 02/25/2009 - 20:04Cadalyst lives on!
Beginning March 1, Cadalyst will move forward under the direction of a new company, Longitude Media. For the immediate future, Cadalyst readers should notice little change on the surface, at least on the digital side. All aspects of Cadalyst.com will remain largely unchanged for now. All e-newsletters will continue to publish uninterrupted. On the print side, the immediate production schedule of the magazine is up in the air for now as the now available resources are evaluated, however Nancy Johnson, editor-in-chief, says that it is their goal to continue print publishing soon. Nancy also said "As we move ahead, we'll strive to refine and strengthen our focus, continually improve our products, and create resources that are better than ever for our audience and advertisers alike."

Submitted by rkmcswain on Tue, 02/10/2009 - 21:16Todd Shackelford beat me to it... He was part of our breakout team on the second half of the day at the Autodesk Gallery, along with David Cohn.
