ProjectX Technology

Blog post have been taking a back seat while I’ve busy with Summer of Code, Free The Net, FooCamp and Webstock *sigh* . We’ll be introducing via the blog a number of technologies over the next few weeks.

We’ve been busy over summer (as well as Summer of Code projects) working on updates of existing products, improving ZoomIn and finalising a couple new tools and products.

Coming soon

• Fresh maps with all latest street information
• A geo-content management tool
• New Map visualisation api.
• A demo site feature some of the client work from the last 6 months.
• And more tools….

People

Webstock is the perfect place to connect with the people in our industry. I love the being about to chat to people from all over. Debating the merits of internships, talking about how to get the best out of people, figuring out how we can deliver more WOW to our clients.

Highlights

• Scott Berken – As a person driven by ideas, understanding the mechanics of innovation was great.
• Damien Conway – The stand out session of the conference, he presented us with relevant with a the level of fun and humour that was unsurpassed.
• Dan Cederholm – Flashbacks to past clients saying not enough WOW. He also provide good examples of where Microformats are being used.
• Simon Willison – Explained the merits and pitfalls of OpenId.
• Michael Lopp – Hmmm, How do I find more free electrons?
• Jason Santa Maria – Providing a reality check in terms of real design.
• Peter Morville – Ambient Findability and why search is _so_ important.
• Zef and Provoke and Jimi – What a live performance!
• Mike (the Full Monty) Riversdale – bridging the gap between Enterprise 2.0 (suits) and the web world (tshirt guys)

Full credit to Tasha Hall, Mike Brown, Debbie Sidelinger, Ben Lampard, Miraz Jordan, and Siggy Magnusson. Take a bow, you guys deserve a holiday !

We’ve just turned on a Meraki access point and we’re connected to the Free the Net Aotearoa movement.

So if you’re near in Upper Willis St, then there’s free WiFi to be had.

Big things are happening in Wellington, ubiquitous free WiFi is coming…

More info soon.
