Zevo for sale

Post by coreyriggle » Thu Jun 20, 2013 11:00 am

Robin at storage mojo posted this article today. Greenbytes is looking for a buyer for Zevo. Anyone want to start a nonprofit and buy the code?

Whether it's sold or released as free software, let's hope this transition happens quickly so that the code can continue to develop and so that everyone here doesn't jump ship now that the word is out.

I hope we'll get at least one official statement on it as well. Like others I had been heartened by Mr Robinson's post in the update request thread:
MSR734 wrote:Everyone, this is Michael Robinson, VP, Marketing for GreenBytes. I apologize for the radio silence re: ZEVO. I know everyone is waiting for some news on the future of the product. We are lining a few more things up internally, and you should be seeing a news story on GreenBytes and the future of ZEVO very soon - likely within the next week or so. Many thanks for your patience.

Even if it's just to throw in the towel it'd be nice if they'd communicate directly one last time, rather then through a third party. I'm sorry this never got more attention and that we didn't have the opportunity to financially support it directly, but perhaps it was inevitable given GreenByte's business focus that 10C was purely a talent and IP acquisition, not about the product.

That depends almost entirely on the asking price, now doesn't it?

If you're interested (I am), contact them via e-mail (I will, again).

Well this is good news. Maybe a company who gives a sh*t about their user-base will buy it. This whole greenbytes experience has been awful. Nothing of value was lost. I can't wait until it sells.

I don't find the software awful. The usability of ZEVO has transformed my approach to local data storage on Macs.
