Mmm! Feedback on open-source project!
Oleg Kurnosov
We love to receive feedback on the flatsourcing web-site and also on the small open-source projects available publicly in our fs github account. Here was the feedback that have received recently through one of the social networks:
Oleg,
I’ve checked your website (as I do once in a while) - nice interface for exams project.
And just a minor suggestion - it might be better to write ‘Ruby on Rails’
instead of ‘RubyonRails’ on your site - looks like 37signals do that, and they should know. Also you have XHTML as your specialty before RoR - not good…
Cheers,
Michael
Carrying momentum into the Holidays
Peter Bodenheimer
As we are now fully entrenched in the holiday season, I’ve been thinking about how we as a company need to modify our schedules to ensure we keep things rolling for our clients and for our internal projects. The fact is, a distributed company like Flatsourcing is actually better equipped to handle this time of year than any other company I have ever been a part of.
Having an organizational structure and client base that straddles multiple countries and cultures, the pressure points that cause slow downs in most organizations are more spread out and thus easier to schedule around. For our US based staff and clients, the end of November brought Thanksgiving and its’ corresponding personal responsibilities. For our non-US staff and clients, it was a non-factor and allowed things to continue moving forward as always.
With broader, more international holidays such as Christmas, we are again in a position that is beneficial because traditionally Russian Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. Because of this flexibility we can schedule our holidays in a way that melds best with our clients’ needs and stagger our own scheduling so that we never have to lower the level of performance our clients expect.
This is just one of the benefits of building your team with Flatsourcing, so if you haven’t already, drop us a line and see how we can help your business.
