GroveSocial ML Ownership
-
GroveSocial would like to thank the community for their support as we have launched and gotten our feet under us. We know that we still need lots of work, and we have been working with the NodeBB team to move things along as quickly as smoothly as possible as we both launch our own services and they launch their social media platform.
We have kept our ownership quiet to try to determine how best to approach that subject. However, after a recent event we realized that you all just want to know who we are! GroveSocial is a Social Media company – we are all about being social, building communities, bringing people together, supplying platforms for communications, building brands and building relationships. In the case of ML, we wanted to give IT pro’s a neutral place to help each other that wasn’t attached to any specific hardware or software or to any specific vendor. We also wanted to give a place for IT pros, service providers, students and vendors to meet, interact and grow together. We believe that the conversation is the market and that the more people who are involved, the better that that conversation can be.
To that end GroveSocial decided to launch MangoLassi as a wholly owned “showcase” community to demonstrate our abilities around social media. We intend to launch several showcase communities of our own in addition to supplying online community platforms and moderation capabilities to customers looking for us to build custom communities. But MangoLassi is and always will be free from aligned with any specific vendor. The value of this community is in its neutrality and that will always be maintained.
As part of this, GroveSocial and MangoLassi’s owner is - wait for it…. Minion Queen, aka Danielle Ralston!

All too well...
-
@Minion-Queen So GroveSocial is an NTG subsidiary?
-
Last I knew NTG has no subsidiaries.
-
Sounds more like two companies owned by the same person.
-
@Dashrender That would make sense.
-
No it is not a subsidary. I personally saw a need. GroveSocial is an NTG client only

So the Minion Queen is the mastermind of a conglomerate? ;-)

This is why I severely dislike you. A mature person would not have posted that.
