    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p> We're delighted to announce that Rich Orris has brought his <a href="http://pingv.com/about/about-us/people">outstanding development skill and design talent to pingVision</a>.<br class="clear" /><br />
<a href="/" target="_blank"><img src="http://pingv.com/system/files/images/Rich-500.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Rich Orris" title="" class="image thumbnail" height="131" width="175" /></a>Rich Orris has been involved with Open Source software since 1999, working as lead developer for <a href="http://civicactions.com">CivicActions, LLC</a>, web developer, graphic designer and house manager for <a href="http://theegg.org">Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center (The Egg)</a>, and technology and information specialist for the <a href="http://hcanys.org">Home Care Association of New York State</a>. </p>
<p>A graduate of Wesleyan University with a BA in Computer Science and a relatively old hand in the Drupal community (<a href="http://drupal.org/user/5360">rorris</a>), Rich is an expert in web standards, PHP, MySQL, Linux, Apache, JavaScript, Shell scripting, AJAX, Ruby on Rails, XHTML, XML, CSS, Drupal, CivicSpace, CiviCRM. Rich's personal website is <a href="http://strangebirdlabs.com">Strange Bird Labs</a>.</p>
<p>Trained in theatrical design and computer science, Rich brings flexible capability to our staff, strengthening our coding services <i>and</i> design and Drupal theming services.</p>
<p>When we first started talking with Rich about working with us, I had known <i>of</i> him only through the <a href="http://drupal.org/mailing-lists">Drupal email lists</a>. As we've dug into a couple of projects together over the past couple of weeks, I've come to truly appreciate his insights on web development ... and his slightly bent sense of humor. Kate and I are delighted to have Rich joining the pingVision family. </p>
