Prinergy is dead: They are laying off the dev team

If software testing goes to Israel then muslim countries will not be able to communicate.

As a cultural sidebar, interestingly, when I worked at Creo, whenever a potential CtP customer was from a primarily Muslim country (e.g. Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.) their concern was to meet with representatives who were not Jewish, even though they knew that the CEO, and other members of the Creo executive were. So they never met Amos Michelson or Dan Gelbart. Their loss. Even so, more often than not, they still bought the equipment.

All I can say as one of the 6 million unemployed Americans....God Bless America & Kodak. Thanks for your support!

Maybe we can talk Kodak into selling Brisque to someone willing to develop it. Unix is a much better platform than Windoze.

Should be interesting to see how the competition plays on this.

Ex or soon to be ex Prinergy developer? I've received a job opportunity for developers in a B2B company. Contact me at pritchardgordon @ gmail (dot) com and I'll pass on the contact info.

The religious/political BS sucks. Avoiding contact with Jewish technology is a sham. They certainly should know how much of the technology innovation for processors, chips, cellphones etc. comes from Israel. How many Jews can you pretend to boycott when you are using technology developed in Israel by Intel, IBM, Motorola, Cisco, Microsoft, etc.?

[SNIP]Avoiding contact with Jewish technology is a sham.

They weren't avoiding contact with Jewish technology. They were avoiding contact with Jews.

Yes, there is a distinction and I got that wrong. It's much better to avoid (insert ethnic) people, not (insert ethnic) technology...ouch. Somehow it still just doesn't sit right.

Regardless, we have to feel for those losing their jobs, no matter where the work is sent.

DJ has posted a great update on Ten Reasons why Prinergy is still Dead...

Huh. If true this is going to be bad for our "unified workflow" solution from Kodak.
