My main goal is to create a system that will scale easily and allow us to use commodity infrastructure elements. These commodity infrastructure elements each have their advantages and disadvantages. The architecture of the system aims to utilize the advantages and minimize the disadvantages.

I’m preparing to start development on beecoop and anonymous websites and I would like to establish a comfortable python development environment to make development and deployment of different applications easier.
There are several factors that I need to consider:

I’m going to be working on several different projects at the same time.
Each project is going to be [...]

I’m currently working on Beecoop admin tool that would allow me to create trac projects quickly and easily.
I’d like to write about Beecoop admin, but that’s not the point here.
In process of looking for information on iPython parallel processing, I came across a tutorial on how to visually manage processes with Vision.

The first day of our Process week has been interesting and somewhat productive. We started off by taking over one of the conference rooms. We setup my laptop in front of the white board and recorded our conversation. We talked for about 4 hours. Here is a summary of this conversation.

I’ve been trying to find a word to unify all of us. When I say “us” I mean all of the people who contribute to creating the web. This includes developers, designers, copy writers, internet marketers, information architects, client advisors. The people who make the web possible.

In process of building projects I am beginning to notice some patterns emerging in the requirements that we have for development environments. I think in most cases we need very similar features. I would love to be able to create a service that makes it easy for us work on projects together.

The next month and a half are going to be very interesting.
We’ve decided to take a break from doing projects to focus on our process. We would like to really streamline our operation. We’ve been popping out projects and things have been very interesting  but we would like to introduce more efficiency.

So after an extended investigation into the separation of duties we have determined that what we were actually looking for was a lead developer.

Hmm… I’ve been thinking alot about this recently and it directly impacts how we work within the cooperative.
How do all these roles separate and how do you associate tasks with roles?
For example, where does Project Architect stop, Project Manager being and Development Lead starts.
What is the responsibility that Project Manager has and how do we [...]

I would like to dedicate my first blog post to the people who made it possible.
