I am extremely pleased to announce that Tom Raftery, social craftsman and energy maven, has agreed to become a Greenmonk associate. He will now be a regular contributor to the Greenmonk blog, and we will also work together to build out a related consulting-oriented business. Its very early days for Greenmonk itself, let alone the Raftery relationship, but I am hopeful that I can help Tom establish the regular monthly income that will enable him to live in Seville in style. We plan to work together for a lower footprint.
Seriously though: Tom’s skill-set is right on the money. Greenmonk was always supposed to be about grassroots, open and social software approaches and methods, and Tom is an expert. I would be surprised if we don’t get some greenmonk podcasting going at some point. And Tom has real experience of building a hyper energy efficient data center. what’s not to like?
