We actually didn't get acquihired -- Sandstorm is still an independent company, and I'm still the CEO and majority shareholder, but we no longer have paid employees. We're continuing to work on Sandstorm, and have even pushed some major new features in the last couple weeks (e.g. the Powerbox UI for connecting apps to each other and to the outside world with explicit user permission).

What did happen is we're all getting new full-time jobs elsewhere, since we aren't making enough money to pay ourselves. Most of us actually haven't started our new jobs yet (taking a little break) but we'll have a blog post when it happens in a couple weeks.

I wonder if you (core devs) could get full-time jobs to integrate Sandstorm with company infrastructures.

Probably not -- finding a company willing to hire someone to deploy Sandstorm for them sounds at least as hard as finding a company willing to buy Sandstorm as a product and pay Sandstorm Inc. for support, which is what we had trouble with. I'm sure they exist but enterprise sales are non-trivial. :/

That said, my new employer is a big user of Cap'n Proto, a sub-project of Sandstorm.
