Mike Meyers was the co-founder and CTO of NowPublic.com, the first venture-backed start up based on Drupal. In September 2009, NowPublic was acquired by Clarity Group which owns and operates Examiner.com, a top-200 website. Mike is now the CTO of Clarity and is heading the process of moving Exminer.com to Drupal.

How does it work to sell a company with an Open Source based website? How do investors feel about a development team giving away all of their work? How can large popular websites move to a common platform and maintain a competitive advantage? These are all questions Mike needs to deal with on a daily basis and he will share his thoughts with us.
