Mayor Castro sees children’s interactive book developments
We are based at Geekdom, and they hosted a visit for San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, City Manager Sheryl Sculley and District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal on March 6th. Graham Weston, one of the founders of Rackspace and Geekdom was on hand to give them a full tour. The entourage was very impressed with our collaborative multi-modal project, especially when we were able to give them a full demonstration of the iPad capabilities we have developed, along with the rich illustrations Artist Debora Kuetzpal Vasquez has been developing for the book, written by author Barbara Renaud Gonzalez.
