About the Company

The Worldwide PenPoint Developers Organization (WPDO) was the premier, unofficial, third-party support network for independent PenPoint developers. Founded by David Schachter in Palo Alto, California (in the heart of Silicon Valley), the network expanded to include chapters in Boston, Massachusetts, St. Louis, Missouri, Metro New York City, Corvalis, Oregon, Waterloo, Ontario (Canada), Edinburgh, Scotland, and Wellington, New Zealand.

In Silicon Valley, the collegial group met on the second Thursday of each month at GO Corporation’s Foster City headquarters to exchange information and see the latest demos from GO Corp. engineers.
