12. Technology choices for speed
● Anti Not Invented Here Syndrome (re-use is king)
● Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) for servers
● Hosted at Amazon EC2 + Liquid Web
● Ruby On Rails for platform / API
● MySQL + Sphinx for search
● WordPress and PHP for distributed views
● jQuery + CSS framework (more from Frank later)
● TRAC for subversion + tickets + wiki
13. Sea dogs / dev team
● Colin Surprenant – Lead Engineer
● Marc-André Gagnon – Platform/API developer
● Stéphane Daury – Wordpress + PHP guru
● François Lafortune – Front-end developer
● Many freelancers from Montréal (Station C)++
● And a secret zombie army (more on that later)
● Interview process is a few weeks... write some
code, close some tickets, ask good questions.
14. The secret zombie army
Open Source developers from all over the world!
15. No Quarters!
● Architecture is art/science, keep right balance
● Have test to cover at least 80% of the codebase
● Automated deploy, FTW!
● Ship at least once per week, twice sometimes
● Milestones, tickets, priorities, review each week
● Standup meeting every morning
● Almost no meetings. Wiki pages, BRD,
frankendoc, white boards, giant post-it
16. Open Standards for uplift
● A few choices : Microformats, OAuth, OpenWeb
● Timing, community, maturity (almost)
● Make sure your stuff is easy/documented
● Open means letting a little bit go
● Open means being in many places
(Google Code, WordPress.org)
● Open also mean being out there (like tonight)
● Open mean you can start now!
