Making the 37signals connection official

The ceremony took place at the glamourous Holiday Inn. We had prepared the precious 33-paged contract from the finest 50 cent a paper FedEx/Kinko's could offer. Four signatures was all it took and the deal was done.

I'm now officially a partner at 37signals. Or member, as the legal term for LLCs define it. Boy, does that feel good. It's been long coming, too. I've worked with Jason and company for more than three years. We started talking about the possibilities of making the connection formal mid last year. And now it's finally a done deal.

I can't believe that its just been three years since I started writing my first commercial PHP for Jason. Back then, I was merely a huge fan of 37signals. I'm so very glad that Jason tried to learn PHP, which initiated our contact, and I'm equally glad that he dropped the idea again after we hooked up.

I've never worked with such intensely talented achievers as the 37signals crew. It's really a dream come true to be part of the it. I can't wait to take our soon-to-be suite of products even higher in their companionship.

Jason announced the deal on Signal vs Noise too.

Could you tell how you started working with 37signals three years ago? How did you hook up?

Congratulations David. Since having started reading your blog mid last year, I am continually impressed by your level of maturity in communications and technical knowledge. They are very lucky to get you.

Hey,

Congrats. We already know it's a perfect fit, so things will be great! Looking forward to the next sensastional product to come out of the partnership!

Are you thinking of relocating? I'm in a similar position myself with one of my clients, and they really want me to be 'fully' on board, but the entire legal situation regarding a relocation is nigh on impossible to sort out. It looks like I might have to go back to school for a couple of years to get up to the US's mighty standards!

Challenge by David Heinemeier Hansson on January 31, 14:09

Thanks, guys. I'm not relocating (any time soon) as the last three years have fully demonstrated that we do excellent work with the current setup.

We hooked up three years ago as Jason was trying to learn PHP. He posted a few questions on Signal vs Noise that I gave long and detailed responses to. At this BoB, he quoted the situation as "I was waiting for the bill after those".

So after a few back and forths, Jason decided that it might actually be easier if I just did the programming instead of him bothering to learn PHP. From there we worked on a number of internal and external projects and here we are...

de Mikel-Angelo. Ni decidis uzi kontrau li rimedon, per kiu ni venkis jam multajn gvidistojn -- malsago kaj idiotaj demandoj. Ci tiuj kreitajoj nenion suspektas -- ili tute ne komprenas la sarkasmon. Neniam dum mia vivo mi estis tiel kontenta, tiel trankvila, tiel plena de bena paco, kiel hierau, kiam mi eksciis, ke Mikel-Angelo ne vivas plu. Ni eltiris ci tiun sciigon el nia gvidisto. Li kondukis nin tra mejloj da pentrajoj kaj skulptajoj en la vastaj koridoroj de Vatikano, tra mejloj da pentrajoj kaj skulptajoj en dudek aliaj palacoj; li montris al ni la grandan pentrajon de la Siksta Kapelo kaj freskojn, kiuj suficus por freskigi la tutan cielon, -- preskau cio estis farita de Mikel-Angelo. Ni decidis uzi kontrau li rimedon, per kiu ni venkis jam multajn gvidistojn -- malsago kaj idiotaj demandoj. Ci tiuj kreitajoj nenion suspektas -- ili tute ne komprenas la sarkasmon.
