Founded by Gary Jedynak and Clyde Cutting, July 2003.

Our vision is to build a distributed community where we serve our customers well, where we receive good pay for good work, and where we collaborate to improve these things according to a clear social covenant. We will place the highest value on the capability growth of the individual developer, and on providing an environment which supports talented, diligent performance

C4DSD has the goal of developing professionals capable of producing much higher quality at significantly less cost. Such professionals would be supported in continuous capability growth by a distributed community of diligent and talents peers. Among these peers are experts in a variety of specializations who will integrate principles, such as agile techniques and lean development, into a workable, cohesive system.

With this system, we intend to deliver a new kind of software product: one which has guaranteed quality, which has a low price, and which is delivered quickly -- all of these factors ensured by high-capability workers.
