Dezignstuff finally gets full partner status
From the time the 2007 book was about half done, I was considered a “Research Partner”, which is the level you get before they make you a full partner for a released product.
I applied for full partner status over a year ago, and didn’t make a fuss about it. I know they contacted some of my references. My phone calls, emails and personal inquiries, however, went unanswered for the entire time. Until recently. They hired a new person for this job who answers the phone and emails and even hunted me down specifically to wrap this up. Thanks! I really do appreciate the initiative.
Current Status – Solution Partner
Product – SolidWorks 2007 Bible
Industry – Publications

Who’s to say, but maybe having a competitor as my solution partner contact is not the best choice. doesn’t seem to have helped anything. Anyway. Now that the book is 1.5 years old, it’s time to do it all over again for the surfacing and 09 books. Mainly I just wanted to get my company listed.
Congratulations, Matt. You earned this Title.

Yeah, well, what do you expect? You’re not under their thumb, so you remain the “uncontrolled third variable” in the mix. Don’t want to have too much power/influence officially sanctioned by the established order, right?
Congratulations! You make them all nervous. (And I thought I was the gadfly at the party…)
****
Yeah, I guess you’re right. I’d be unhappy if I were part of the establishment. Being the vocal minority suits me better.
Yeah, but regardless we give you a free copy of the software… how great is that
****
Yeah, that’s true. Free software is definitely cool. Still had to pay full price for my commercial license, though.
Congratulations on gaining the Solution Partner status. Even though it is rather late on getting it. You did achieve your goal of getting your company listed. Hopefully the process for the 09 books will be must faster and not drag on for 1.5 years.
Congrats Matt, do we call you ‘Sir Matt’ now or have to bow when we see you?

Congratulations
