Stack Hammer: Pop Edition
Not all of us here at Cloudsmith are dry and technical. Sure, those of us working down in the trenches may be a bit “serious”. But our most creative elements, such as Kenn and Henrik, the duo behind our new Wham! service, have all the style and flair you would expect of pop stars.
They created Wham! so that you’d have no remaining excuses to not pick up your stack hammer. Just type in the name of a module from the Puppet Forge, or a GitHub repository containing some Puppet code, and click. A graph magically appears, showing you color-coded errors and dependencies!
Wham! uses the same validation and graphing services as Stack Hammer. But while the flagship service is deep, powerful and (some may say) a bit complex, Wham! is shiny, sexy and simple. But still just as useful.
So instead of wondering what’s “lurking in the bushes” (figuratively speaking) of that code you’d like to use, get it all out into the open! You’ll feel better and stack safer!
Use Wham! as a standalone service right now. And wait for us to tie it into the rest of Stack Hammer over the next few months.

Chris Horn Co-founder & chairman
Founder and CEO of IONA Technologies, leading middleware/platform vendors of the ‘90s. Started IONA with two of my computer science grad students at Trinity College Dublin and bootstrapped all the way to a US IPO (first for an Irish tech company). Spend lots of time on Cloudsmith, plus a few other teams of ventures in the US and EU.
Dublin, IrelandCurrent Temp:66 F°Mitch Sonies Co-founder & CEO type
Consider myself the “idea guy”, but I’m totally dependent on the rest of the team to actually implement anything. Studied math, but went to law school. Started out as a venture lawyer, became a technology analyst on Wall St. Went into the software industry. Cloudsmith is my second startup. Did the first one with Henrik and Thomas as well.
New York, United StatesCurrent Temp:66 F°Thomas Halgren Co-founder and chief architect
Like to lay a foundation that will last a long long time. Earlier in my career I concentrated on O:R mapping and modeling frameworks and languages. Drifted into the build and provisioning domain. Have done a lot of the heavy lifting for the Eclipse community for several years. Began my career working for Henrik more than 20 years ago. He is now my wingman.
Stockholm, SwedenCurrent Temp:64 F°Henrik Lindberg Co-founder and CTO
I’ve been doing this a long time at many companies, startup to public, from operating system to application. Ran JRockit (Oracle’s JVM division) before Cloudsmith. Get most excited about newest stuff and hardest problems. Would solve every one with a Turing-complete language (plus an editor) if the team let me. Thomas is (still) my wingman.
Stockholm, SwedenCurrent Temp:64 F°Karel Březina Developer & architect
Joined the team with Filip. Michal, Filip and I were all CS students together in the Czech Republic. I’m a Java type, but I like working on the user interface more than the other guys. Michal is my squash partner; he hits harder but I win with superior tactics.
Pilsen, Czech RepublicCurrent Temp:91 F°Filip Hrbek Architect & developer
I’m the anchor of Cloudsmith/East. Met the rest of the team through some open source projects. Got intrigued and joined early. Brought along former colleagues Karel and Michal. Used to focus on server-side of things; now having fun with UI development as well. (GWT is Java, after all).
Pilsen, Czech RepublicCurrent Temp:91 F°Michal Růžička Developer & devops guy
Joined the team as a developer just after Karel and Filip. Handier with machinery than the others, so I also manage all our builds and infrastructure. Spend a lot of time helping enterprise customers with provisioning problems. Spend half my time developing, half my time doing devops and third half on customer projects.
Pilsen, Czech RepublicCurrent Temp:91 F°Kenn Hussey VP Development
Modeling guy & toolsmith by background. Worked at Embarcadero and IBM/Rational before Cloudsmith. Spend half my time planning the product and managing the development cycle and other half coding. Originally from Nova Scotia, where we like to have kids early and sail. (I did/do.)
Ottawa, CanadaCurrent Temp:60 F°John Malcolmson Creative Director
Help focus the message, make everything look good. Try to add a dash of “flavor” as well. Originally from New Zealand; went to RISD and stayed here. Worked in large branding/design firms. Ran my own shop with a partner (Cloudsmith was a client.) Left after we merged with a bigger firm. Now divide my time into slices for 3-4 startups needing internal creative direction.
