Tschitschereengreen signed last week the declaration of Fair Companies of the German Journal “Junge Karriere”.
With this step, we confirm that we have no students and interns working for free and that they are with our company for extending their professionel experience. Please read these German Rules for Fair Companies.
Secondly, this step is one of many in our cooperation with ITsax.de to improve the appearance of Saxonian Technology Companies and to strengthen the IT-cluster of Dresden.
At the weekend I held a presentation at FrOSCon 2009 about the project management perspective on Django. As agreed with the folks attending I attach here the presentation itself.
Django – lessons learned from a project management perspective
As a conclusion in the work shop we agreed, that Django is in Germany not very well known and lots of companies are working with less professional tools like PHP, etc. wasting their own money. Therefore this presentation was focusing on the business aspects of using Django based on our long term experience with large Django projects.
Xing‘s last campaign for attracting new members was kind of successful …I heard. Could have been an impulse why they started to improve the platforms menu navigation.
Some of the networks users were chosen to see the new menu first: to test it and in best case to participate on a survey which was created for this reason. We are surprised about the survey’s “quality”.
First reason is, that the survey opens in a pop-up! Then it shows us the typical form of an online survey… 2-4 different questions on one site and the “continue” button at the end. The strange thing is, that you are able to click through the whole survey without answering one single question… Well, it is nice that the authors left the choice, either to answer a question or not, to the participator, but what for then?
Funny is, what you find within the question about the breadcrumbs… they translated it as “Krümelpfad” (;
And a lot of question marks remain if you recognize that after finishing the survey, you get at xing’s welcome page, shown in the pop-up. No comment.
Winter hasn’t reached Dresden too much yet. But even if there are still 3 or 4 degrees outside – it can be a pleasure to get into a warm house… I guess Tschitschereengreen pictures one of the most hottest spots in town at the moment. We are also getting warm from inside – cause we are drinking tea (:
And now.. “where is the clou…?” you may ask yourself.
The special thing is that we don’t need to wait till the tea water burns. We just grap our favourite sort of tea, put it in a cup, walkin to this old-school, silver-coloured thing, turning the tap on and: hot water comes out. Thats it.
The older generations and East-Europe-Fans under us don’t even have to think about what I’m talking about. (We could have made a riddle for the youngsters… damn. Now it is too late before Christmas…)
So yes. It is an old, original russian Samowar. Great thing. We can recommend it warmly!!
With this tea story we gonna end with the blog articles for this year. What now comes you know… We too. So we save our breaths and just say:
all the best and foremost: enjoy the spare time as much as possible (:
Last week we finished an application for a travel agency, who wished to handle Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport (the company which took over the Travel Distribution Service of Galileo and the Worldspan company ) and others from one source. Means that we built a middleware (service layer) which brings the different APIs from the CRS providers together to one API. This single interface can now be gated to a booking system.
The advantages are obvious, aren’t they?
You don’t have to decide anymore between the providers – so the offer range is growing distinctly. Respectively there’s no need to build a new API if it is decided later on to use one more reservation system. If you once installed the multiple interfaces, you can extend it as often and much as you wish to.
The application was developed with Ruby on Rails on soap4r. This assures that the middleware is stable and works fluently.
So feel free to ask if you want to benefit from our experience with CRSs.
