They are leaving. Compiere, while a small company, has strong brand recognition when it comes to open source applications. With Scott and Jason leaving OSUOSL, this is a loss for open source in the region, but they are doing a startup, which could be a success. At least Oregon is keeping Scott and Jason!

I'm a journalist in Portland who pays attention to the open source "industry" and was wondering how significant Compiere's relocation really is, especially when coupled with the defection of the two founders of Oregon State University's Open Source Lab (who are joining a non-open-source startup in Portland.) How much of a "move in the wrong direction" is it? Hi, Raven.

As you mentioned with MySQL, more and more companies are supporting telecommuting. This is especially true with software development where it's easy to gauge the productivity of an individual contributor. The lead developer for JasperSoft lives in Romania and several of the JBoss contributors are in Switzerland - both US companies. I'm moving to Portland the week before <a href="http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2006/" rel="nofollow">OSCON</a>. Lots to do! Hi, Dawn.

Many companies (MySQL, for example) hire open source developers regardless of physical location resulting in a diverse workforce spread around the world. I am a bit partial to Portland. I have lived here for the past 5 years, and I love the area! Portland is becoming a magnet for open source, but I also appreciate the geographically diverse nature of open source.
