We're very happy to announce that Steven Wittens has decided to join us here at Bryght. Steven has a post on his personal site on why he decided to choose Bryght over his other offers:

After considering all my options, Bryght came out as the most interesting choice. Aside from getting to spend a significant amount of my time working on Drupal itself, they're also giving me the chance to move to Vancouver. Once the paperwork goes through (which could take a couple of months), it's good bye chocolate and beer and hello mounties, maple leaf and mountains.

We hope that having Steven join us will continue to show our commitment to the Drupal open source community. Steven will now have dedicated time in his schedule to work on Drupal. His "Bryght work" will of course be focused on Drupal as well, although he has indicated a desire to expand his programming range...I suspect some Python programming is in his future.

And yes, Steven is going to be joining us here in Vancouver. After all, we're moving into some new office space with lots of room for extra bodies, and everyone should get the chance to live in Canada. Want to move to Canada? Take the Skilled Worker Self-Assessment test from the Government of Canada to see if you have enough points.

To my American friends: everyone backs up their data...shouldn't you do the same with your country? ;P
