We had kick off meeting for our second educational open source project on monday. It is called Simple Ads Server and it is secound try to run it. The first impression is awesome. Guys are really great.

There is still place for one young developer who wants learn rails3 and get some real experience in industry.

You can follow project on:

• github
• pivotal tracker

Simple News Aggregation is ready

We are full of proud because we can announce that our open source project called Simple News Agreggation was finished. Big thanks for young polish developer involved in project - Jakub Gorzelak. Well done, Jakub.

You can find this project on github https://github.com/200/Simple-News-Aggregation

It is not deployed anywhere because it was just a learning project.

We are preparing to start new open source learning project now. More details soon.

Field report

Time to break silence on the blog. Holidays are over and new blog post should be created.
The first thing we want share with you is field report form our open source projects: Simple News Aggregation and Simple Ads Server.

The last of both is frozen now. The reason is lack of our time and mistakes in project managments. The project will be rerun after Simple News Aggregation launch. Unfortunetlly we are not ready to manage two open source project at the same time. Good lesson for us.

The Simple News Aggregation grows fast and we have been finishing preproduction now. We had created basic mockups in Pencil (Firefox extension for mockups creation) based on project overview document. Than we created static application with our interface to check how it works and users feelings. We are working on make interface more nice and modern now. After that we start production: rails3 application with tests in cucumber and rspec. In this place we have to say thank you and respect to Jakub Gorzelak - free software developer involved in this project. Good work, Kuba!

Thanks for your attention. Feel free to leave your opinion in comments.

Sharing is good!

We think sharing is good thing. It's trivial but it's true (for us). We like sharing our ideas, software and knowladge. So we are starting two new open source in co-operation with yound, hobbist rails developers. Our main goals:

• check how our ideas works and getting base for our commercial products
• establish good process of development
• give our partners chance to work in professional projects, getting experience and some good practices
• create some useful open source stuff 

More info about the project will be available soon.
