We recently marked our one year anniversary. While the greenMonitor Renewable Energy Monitor software product is now entering its third year of continuous development, greenHouse Computers, LLC has finally completed its first year as a full-time commercial venture.
The past year saw us reach break-even, complete 4 major software releases, bring 4 hardware solutions to market, and reach all but one continent (Antarctica). We continue to grow market share and revenue and look forward to our second year in business.
We are at a point were we feel that the current Version 1.xx.x release numbering scheme doesn't accurately reflect the development of the product since it's initial release last year. In addition to adding products at higher and lower levels of functionality, the product definitions have dramatically changed. Version 1.00.8, which is tentatively schedule to enter Beta Test in mid to late April will be the last Version 1.xx.x numbered release. We will also be changing our overall numbering scheme to reflect the past year's experience with issuing software updates.
We've officially appointed a marketing director for EMEA. Yusif has been helpful in the development of marketing strategies throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. We look forward to his continued involvement as we work to bring our products to market in developing regions.
We've begun UPS testing for the different models within our product family. We are currently developing the procedures to insure reproducible results, but the preliminary values are very promising.
We were invited by one of our resellers, Alien Scooters, to display our products at their booth for the festival. We hope to have our own booth in the Fall so we can display more of our configurations and demonstrate the advantages of green computing.

The initial power values for the greenStation Personal Workstation, configured with a WiFi adapter, the configuration we will be displaying at Alien Scooters on S. Lamar here in Austin, have been determined. This is the same configuration we will be taking to the upcoming Pecan Street Festival May 2nd and 3rd.
