We’re happy to announce we have a new addition here at Rustici Software!
When I first heard that we hired someone from Mississippi, I was overjoyed! You see, I get teased a lot around here for my super southern accent. I was thrilled that I would have someone to spread the teasing around with. I mean… he’s from Mississippi, surely he’s got a southern accent, right?! Boy was I WRONG!
While Tim Edwards doesn’t have a southern drawl, he has a bunch of other great qualities that made him a perfect fit for our DevOps position. Tim (or Tedwards, as we call him) will be joining Ben, our chief worrier, in the never-ending task of keeping our services available and scalable. If you’d like to learn some more about him, check out his profile!
Welcome aboard, Tim! We’re glad to have you, even without a southern accent

At Rustici Software, We Like to Quack

Quell
[kwel]
verb (used with object)
1. to suppress; put an end to; extinguish.
We base our work year around quarters, like a lot of companies do. At the end of each quarter, we have a “quell” week. It’s the end of the quarter, and it’s time for us to spend some time and think about what we did and what we’re going to do next.
Quell weeks are a mix of meetings, good food, and change. We change a lot around here, but that’s how we get better. Quell weeks make some people nervous, and some excited.

Three years ago, we started on a journey with ADL to help them come up with the next version of SCORM. We’ve come a long way since then (we just hit Tin Can API 1.0!) and Rustici Software has grown quite a bit. Today we’re excited to welcome our two latest additions to the Rustici Software family: Ervin and Nathan (or Ervin and Skirvin, as we call them). If you haven’t noticed, we like to hire in pairs, and rhyming pairs are even better.

The World Just Changed

The floodgates are open. It’s time to celebrate. The Tin Can API, version 1.0, is here today.
It was almost three years ago when ADL asked the e-learning community to help them with research to create a new, simpler, more powerful e-learning standard. E-learning standards are what we do, so of course we jumped at the opportunity.
The result was Project Tin Can, which resulted in the Tin Can API. We wrote the first version of the API, version 0.8, then handed it over to ADL and a vibrant open community.

It’s that time of year again when the Nashville Business Journal tells us where the best places in town to work are. Rustici Software made the list for the fourth year in a row!
It’s been an especially fun year with a great group of people. I’m honored to work with one of the smartest and most entertaining groups of people I’ve ever come across. I honestly look forward to coming to work every morning. We’re hiring more six people right now, come join us.
Speaking of a great year. Exciting things are happening with the Tin Can API. This blog on scorm.com has been pretty quiet of late, but we haven’t gone away. Most of our efforts are going into the blog over on tincanapi.com. Go check it out and sign up for our Tin Can newsletter that we send out every month.
