Thanks must also go to Coen for bringing the issue to our attention...thanks mate.

The much feared Krisidious is the one to thank, he brought it to my/our (Mods) attention. Thanks Kris.

Congrats Craig, those mountains sure look inviting. I miss Boulder..

and Thanks Kris for keeping your eye on the ball

If people were possessions and Craig belonged to SCF... he'd be our Lamborghini in the garage. "wax weekly and don't let your friends drive it..."

you can bet, I keep my eye on him. we're lucky enough, that if a user has a glitch or issue with the software and posts here, they'll have an response from Craig with in the day. name a product you get customer service from like that?

I believe that the Company-User relationship is critical in software development and having the direct connection to GSU is something that let's us all feel a little better about depending on the software to complete projects. with that direct interaction, there's no dead end, the possibilities are endless. here at SCF and at Google Groups we have the power, the end user has the power, to shape the software in our own use. it's quite exciting

Google's commitment to Craig in hiring him is a statement to us as a community as well, one that's noted and appreciated. One that says this software will be continued, supported, updated and improved.

with that said...
congratulations Craig, now get back to work.

Paul Russam · 23 Jan 2008, 13:04

Beautifully said Kristoff.

Phil Rader AIA · 23 Jan 2008, 13:04

well better late than never...

Congratulations Craig!...now get to work.

Daniel Bouchard · 23 Jan 2008, 13:05

Now you can take a vacation and come out and race PIR!

CraigD · 23 Jan 2008, 13:12

THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH!! I feel a great bond with you all, and I'm totally thrilled and honored to continue to interact with you here!

You've probably noticed some more SketchUp team members on SketchUcation over the past two weeks. This is very good! It also notes that I will need some help in my new roll.

My roll has changed slightly on the SketchUp team, and I will not be able to devote as much time as before, to this excellent forum. This is where my friends Tricia, Brad, Barry, and Jeff (and others!) will be helping out! As you get to know them, you'll see that all of us on the SketchUp team have great respect and appreciation for you all, and that we're fun to chat with!

There's a little more background here

If you have any questions that go unanswered or that you need immediate help with, please feel free to PM me so that we can see it quickly.

Thank you for your friendship and trust! I look forward to working with you on many new and interesting SketchUp projects in the future!

Model well!

Cheers,

 - CraigD

P.S. Special thanks to Kris, Coen, Gai! You guys are the backbone of this community!
