Hi Guys,
So yes I've been meaning to write this post around the time of Christmas
but it didn't quite happen. I blame the cheap drink prices in Bristol.
------------------
So as I alluded to in a post about recently, we have set-up a IRC server
which will be used for live chats between internal and external
developers. We hope to have this running so you can all use it before
the end of this Quarter. We're also consider running a Jabber server and
Flash communication server, so you can all build prototypes on servers
which you may not normally have access to on a basic LAMP stack.
We understand that our APIs are getting a little long in the teeth and
one of backstage's aims from day one was to be involved in the process
of more APIs and data sources. So we build a API Gateway which eases the
wheels for API deployment to the outside world in the future.
All of these run on the Backstage Wild West Servers and we've seen these
being used for many purposes. We are still hoping to take some of your
prototypes on-board as they grow.
About Ideas and Prototypes submission. The Backstage at bbc.co.uk email
address where all the ideas and prototypes go is so full of spam its
unreal. This will be solved once we get the new site live because the
forms on the current site have become spam bait. Please send all
submissions to the list for now.
So yes I did once again mention the new site again. Well I'm hoping that
we can put the site live for you all to see really soon. Maybe also
sometime this Quarter (he says sticking his neck out).
There is much more stuff planned for this year including a range of
events, more meet ups and even a new way for getting backstage
sponsorship of your own events.
Take care, now back to getting iplayer on exotic devices.
Cheers
Ian Forrester
