Update

We have been busy. Too busy to blog so here is a lot of status update all at once.

In July 2012, our rights issue was completed. We are happy to have investors such as Stockholm Affärsänglar AB (STOAF), Innovationsbron and Framtidslyftet on board.

In August 2012 Uppsala Innovation Centre (UIC) released their annual report, tastefully featuring Fanchinima on their cover page and including a five page interview with us in their magazine.

Same day as UIC (yes it was coordinated) Framtidslyftet also made a public launch of their fund raising initiative. They too gave Fanchinima "front page" coverage as their featured first investment.

During August and September we have strengthened our team with several new co-workers. In addition to a strong development (artists and programmers) team we have also built marketing, PR, economy, business development and investor relation functions. More info about our fabulous team to come soon. We continue to look for even more talent, especially programmers and social media managers. Let us know if you are interested.

September 14-16 Dan Greening, world leading development method guru and Skype global head of development methodology, came to train us in the Scrum method (yes we work weekends when we feel like it!). Great days and a real boost for the whole team. During training we decided to start working in 3 weeks Scrum sprints. We just finished our 0.4.2 release. Planning to release 0.4.3 to our supportive test users after our next sprint.

On Monday October 22 our Tartu, Estonia, company is moving to new offices. These offices are located at the Lai street. We rent the top floor of the office of Estonians largest Internet Service Provider, Elion. In December we will through a great house warming & christmas party. Invitations to be expected mid November. If you are a great programmer, artist, blogger, actor, writer, movie creator, or a fun party animal remember to write us and argue for why you should have an invitation.

In November we will be participating in the Estonian Movie Festival. One of our co-workers is supporting the festival for a complete month and we also give a motion capture ("mocap") workshop. See the Movie Festival catalogue for details. Mocap workshop likely held Monday November 26.

Back to busy again. Promise to write sooner next time :-)
