Opentext has a fascinating history. It began as an academic project at the University of Waterloo. The researchers were looking to digitize the Oxford English Dictionary, and created an early search engine, similar to Project Gutenberg. The private company spun out of that work.

No lifeboat badge today, so we’ll shout out SDK, who claimed the benefactor badge for placing a bounty on his question: How to make a dynamic slide up transition? Seems like it worked, as the question now has an accepted answer 🙂

I get that sponsorship helps fund this content but try and be a little subtle about it. Had to turn it off after 10 mins straight of clearly scripted marketing spiel.

I might as well have been watching a late night infomercial!

Did this episode disclose that the episode was sponsored? I listened nearly to the end thinking the guest’s answers didn’t really generalize to topics in interested in… Then I read in the description that the episode was sponsored?

I feel a bit duped. Please disclose the sponsorship in the podcast audio!
