iBaguette has acquired Draggie Games and geog.uk.
The acquisition of these platforms values iBaguette at <redacted>
This is a notice to inform you that iBaguette has acquired two new companies: Draggie Games and geog.uk. The acquisition of these companies will allow iBaguette to expand its reach into the gaming and education markets.
What does this mean for iBaguette?
Acquiring Draggie Games will give iBaguette a broader reach and ensure revenue and user diversification. The games company has a range of projects and cool technologies that we have been eyeing up and would love to integrate as part of our own services too, with a unique tech stack beyond just static content delivery. Draggie Games also has account functionality, which will be useful for future iBaguette features.
The iBaguette you know won't change - still free, education-focused and as good as ever! It will just allow us to broaden the technologies and users and improve the experience of everyone using the site.
From Draggie Games, we hope to integrate their technology stack and understand more about global content distribution, 3D scripting,
web authentication and account management. The benefit is reciprocal too: both sites acquired will benefit from the existing iBaguette infrastructure and brand!
I can't access any of the acquired websites!
As of 11/12/2023, all core service functionality has been restored.
Before this, servers were taken down and tranferred over to iBaguette servers, along with some standardisation of the technology used to host them, so accessing them directly was temporarily unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience caused!
Previous messaging:
We cannot provide an exact date for when the websites will be available, but this may be a long process. To reduce the impact on users, we have disabled the websites and will be redirecting users to this page.
iBaguette will be providing updates on the progress of the acquisition on the website and on our social media channels.
What is iBaguette?
iBaguette is primarily a technology and education company with a range of services for UK GCSE and A Level students, educators and academics. We started out with Computer Science but have branched out into the resources we offer to include humanities such as Geography and History, and, most recently, languages, such as French.
We are powered by a group of volunteer writers and checkers to make cool articles, create useful tips for students and editorial improvements to our revision resource repository. In addition to all this, we love open source code and have loads of it on GitHub! We regularly post updates and announcements on the site so you'll be able to find some of our cool projects by looking around :)
What is geog.uk?
geog.uk is the hub for a network of UK-based geographers that provides free geography resources for students and teachers, photos, graphics and more material, all related to Geography! Its Geography-related resources will be a welcome addition to the iBaguette Cheat Sheet and revision resource umbrella.
As we are acquiring this during a period of exams, and recognise the potential disruption to users of both iBaguette and geog.uk, we're not shutting down any servers just yet, and just proceeding with changing non-important parts over to the iBaguette network. Please email [email protected] if any links are broken and we will restore them ASAP. We are monitoring the move and merge status so if there should be any 404s, we'll be notified immediately.
Amendment 1: I've been asked to redact iBaguette's the new valuation by the Draggie Games team. I apologise for any inconvenience!
