I just talked to Lin Du (who I worked with when I was at Woven), who is the current CEO of Pica8. Don't know anything about the product, but this didn't seem like Lin's style. Turns out Fontaine GUILLAUME has registered pic8....@gmail.com, has no relation to the company - and is trying to prove to them that he should be a reseller. Lin has told GUILLAUME to stop (not that that will do any good). Some e-mail fragments below.
