Evan was a lifetimer. Twitter's mail was routed via one.textdrive.com if memory serves me correctly using a truck load of aliases to redirect to offsite email accounts.

It was a pleasure dealing with the Virtualmin team on issues we had on Virtualmin on Joyent and TextDrive's shared hosting services.

Replying to the "Wins over GCE/AWS above that I can't reply to":

They had various:

* The ability to run workloads at near bare metal speeds (their using Solaris Containers).

* Manta (ability to perform compute operations on their storage service without having to download files and reupload files).

* Their work on getting a better user experience in zones with pkgsrc (thanks to all the hard work of Filip and Jonathan).

* Better performance and having the ability to spend less money on resources and reducing the instance count for folks moving off AWS to Joyent. I was involved in a number of these migrations.
