This is correct and exactly what the CPB officer told me.

This is a great idea. I know there are a handful of people who would be very interested in participating.

Wanna connect via email and make this happen (harper@nata2.org)

I love this thread.

This is exactly how I manage my contacts. It works super well.

I also started using the full contact mobile carddav sync - which has worked super well.

The card scanner with fullcontact is also nice, but paid.

36, running my first company as CEO. First time not 100% tech focused. I only code dashboards.

They are very similar. Similar players in both worlds. Slightly different skills - but mostly the same basic work. just different constituents.

Surprised that this isn't in the thread already.

Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman from Google have done a bunch of great talks about exactly this: How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q52kFL8zVoM)

They also wrote a book about the topic: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920018025.do

All of their advice comes from their experience running the subversion project. It is also good general advice for dealing with humans/engineers/etc.

me too

We used a lot of Akamai. For all user facing services.

The same systems are not used for the next election. Bitrot, differing requirements and a general distrust of technology all account for the political machine to rebuild each cycle.

This is obviously not ideal. I hope that OFA 4.0 will release a bunch of it as open source and it will help make the next cycle easier.

Turns out it was released. We had been working very hard to get this diagram out. Last I was involved, it was stuck with lawyers, etc.

OFA is awesome for releasing this. Hopefully next will be some of our codes and projects.

i guess this leaked. ;)

This is true. We looked at a lot of things post transaction to make sure the contribution was legit. We returned a lot of contributions.

In regards to Akamai and not Cloudfront - Akamai had a different offering than cloudfront. JdotP mentioned in this thread that we used Akamai GTM, it allowed us to do a lot of fun failover management which cloudfront didn't offer. It also allowed for SSL.

we used python, ruby and php. a bit of java and what not sprinkled around for fun.

although not necessarily a public api, you can control the nest via rest.

here is a reference implementation https://gist.github.com/3808559

I spent some time with the ZippyKid team that other day. I was quite impressed with what they were up to and the technology they were looking at for the future.

I am glad that they are focusing on support and service. This is a win for the wordpress hosting world.

I am very happy for Neal and his team and, of course, 37signals. This is a great partnership and will lead to some great work.

I built one of these quite awhile ago to help a friend pick his babies name.

The names it generates are hilarious.

Markov chains are wonderful things. A good markov chain bot will really spice up a company IRC channel.

come work with us!

I have used the libpam support for a couple boxes. A neat way to use two factor auth on the cheap. http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/source/browse/...

I built this last night using the previously linked SXSW data dump. It is on app engine and works decently well.

There is a api: curl http://www.isxgoing.com/ -d "search=harper+reed" -d "api=1"

Just got back from a kickoff event and it is going to be an amazing year. Feel free to ping me (harper@nata2.org) or @harper if you want more info.
