A month of travel
Read more »: A month of travelThe last couple of weeks I’ve had another bout of traveling to conferences. I’ve been lucky this time: all three events were absolutely amazing! First I went to the Google Summer of Code Mentors’ Summit in California, followed by Wordcamp Bucharest and finally to Tokyo for the annual Plone Conf. GSoC Mentor’s Summit GSoC is…

GopherConUK
Read more »: GopherConUKWhile part of the dev team was still on EuroPython, Janez and I were packing to go to this year’s Go conference in London. This was a first Go conference for me, so naturally, I enjoyed it a lot. The vibe was similar to those old Plone/Python conferences back around 2010. Lots of very smart…

Resuming uploads to Amazon S3
Read more »: Resuming uploads to Amazon S3I am escaping continental winter at the moment which means my internet connection is not perfect. I was uploading a 1GB file to Amazon S3 via the console.aws.amazon.com and the upload failed at 93%. Just my luck! I didn’t want this to happen again. So I tried using Cyberduck to upload and intentionally turned off…

Turns out, there is another great use case for these recordings: onboarding. Whenever a new person joins our team, these…

Conference hiatus is over
Read more »: Conference hiatus is overBack in the day when Niteo was still a consulting company I had to do a lot of traveling to find and do work. And to attend conferences.

Upgrading our Intranet to Plone 5
Read more »: Upgrading our Intranet to Plone 5While we haven’t done any Plone consulting (well, *any* consulting to be exact) in over 3 years, we still use Plone internally, every single day. It was about time our Intranet got some love, so I put on my disco pants, poured some of Belgium’s finest and got to work. Our installation was an old Plone 4.1…

Thailand was a blast!
Read more »: Thailand was a blast!It’s January — time for the “IRL”, our biannual in-person get-together. Summer IRLs happen in (around) Slovenia since that means short travel for the majority of the team plus it’s hard to find a more beautiful place in those early summer months. That said, come winter, Europe gets, well, uncomfortably cold. And most of us…

IRLs
Read more »: IRLsNiteoWeb is a remote-first team. While we do have a physical office in Ljubljana, few people go there regularly. Most of us prefer to work from home, from coffee shops or from the beach. Wherever and whenever we feel we are the most productive. While remote work certainly has its benefits, it does indeed have…
