Scott Green, the Google Boulder's site director, told dailycamera that Trimble plans to open an office in Boulder, Colorado. This makes sense, since the current Sketchup employees work in Boulder, CO, and Trimble is trying to recruit many of the personnel on the Sketchup team.
Green confirmed that the "vast majority" of the Sketchup team accepted offers from Trimble. This is great news to hear, as much of the Sketchup community has been worried about who would be running the show. To know that many of the people who have helped Sketchup grow to what is is today will continue to make it even better, puts a lot of minds at ease.
Comments from the Sketchup team
On the announcement page on the Official Sketchup Blog, there have been a few comments made by members of the Sketchup team, giving us some reassurance of this move to Trimble. Mark Harrison, the Community Manager for Google Earth and Google Sketchup, told us that the Sketchup team will pretty much stay in tact. He reported this on the morning of the announcement.
John Bacus, the Product Manager for Google Sketchup, added comments about the transition to Trimble, attesting to their commitment to providing a free 3D modeling tool that's easy for anyone to use.
