Arbormoon Software recently expanded its office space in downtown Ann Arbor, not to house more room for its software workers but to create a community space for the technical circles they run in.
The
Ann Arbor chapter of CocoaHeads (Apple software programer group) now uses it for its monthly meeting. The 800 square feet of space also hosts meetings for community groups in the data management and Java Script areas.
"We think supporting events is important to us," says Dave Koziol, president of
Arbormoon Software. "That's where we find new talent. That's where we learn as a company and gather new information."
The 10-year-old software firm has been pushing aggressively into the mobile world in recent years. It has hired four people in the last year (most of which are mobile programers) to keep up with its growth in that space. It now has a staff of a dozen employees and is looking to add a summer intern or two.
"We're seeing lots of growth in Android," Koziol says. "We have brought on two people for Andriod development in the last two months."
