New venture
I don’t consider myself much of a pie in the sky dreamer. That being said, Jill and I are embarking on a project that will perhaps evolve into something: Level 12.
Level 12 will be a student information system — that is, a computer program and database that allows school districts to manage, collect and warehouse student data as well as create reports about said data. It will be a bit of an undertaking, especially since all of the development work will be done outside of my regular job. I’ll have Jill working full-time on it, though.
The basic premise might not seem so lucritive: we are going to develop this software and then give it away. For free. The interesting part will be who chooses to support us, and how many schools are interested. One possible path would be for us to provide support to schools (paid), and another path is hosting the system/data for them (paid). But again, we plan to make the software available as licensed, open-source software (not paid). It should be interesting!
