Present Perfect

Flumotion is hiring again!

We're looking for talented, motivated and passionate developers who want a
healthy mix of working on a real commercial product and platform, and the
Free Software technologies they're based on.

Flumotion SL is a Spanish company, located in Barcelona, and part of the
Fluendo group.

Flumotion is our UNIX-based streaming server, written in Python, on top of
GStreamer and Twisted. Our platform is a collection of Linux servers
distributed over Spain, as we're looking to expand our business further
into Europe. It handles several Gbit/s of streaming traffic.

We are also working on a commercial version of Flumotion, to be released later
this year.

We are looking for developers to:

• work on the core technology: the server, GStreamer integration, the platform, scalability
• work on the box project: web frontend, usability
• work on the web projects: our website, our customer portal, and our backoffice

Python experience is not required, but definitely a plus.

If you like working with other hackers, on real-world projects, while looking
out over the sea and enjoying the good weather of Barcelona, contact us! Feel
free to drop me a mail at thomas (at) flumotion (dot) com if you prefer to
drop off your CV in a more human mailbox.

To join the celebration of Schrödinger's 1.0 release (actually they're already up to 1.0.1 but I was late), I finished up my patch to add Dirac encoding to Flumotion, adapting it for Johan's new wizard split-up.

As you can see, the changeset is pretty simple, so if you're hiding an encoder up your sleeve, it's really easy to hook it up to Flumotion once you have it working in GStreamer.

If anyone has the horsepower to get a 25fps full PAL stream running, feel free to let us know :)

I've been so busy with the moving, the renovating, and the working, that I've completely forgotten to take the time to announce the return of the Jedi.

Johan was the second person working for Fluendo - even though he only stayed for less than a year before moving back to Brazil - and had a big hand in creating Flumotion originally. He's back working on Flumotion, teleworking (and telecommuting between Brasil and Europe, sort of), and going back and implementing the original ideas we had for Flumotion and its user interface.

Johan's been rewriting the wizard, making it completely pluggable by other modules, and Zaheer's taken up the gauntlet and written DVB parts for the wizard. In the commercial version we also have ASF and FLV now working. Of course, Johan took the first chance he got at slipping kiwi down the wizard's throat. On the outside, the only real difference I saw was the cute animation when I accidentally added a second period to a float entry field.

But really, it's just been great to have Johan back on the hack - finishing up the loose ends we left a few years ago when we turned Flumotion into a service first, and now coming full circle.

Exciting night!

Today is the second debate between Zapatero and Rajoy in the run-up to the Spanish elections. Last week, we had a record traffic peak, and one of our competitors got saturated. Today we expect even more, and we're even risking saturating all our peering ourselves. Whee!

It used to be my biggest worry was whether the software would keep running. These days I'm not that worried anymore about the code. These days I spend my time worrying whether the actual network pipes and peering points are big enough, and when we will get our 10 GBit links in our various data centers...

So, Flumotion is once again on the lookout for new talent to join their ranks!

At the moment, we're looking for something we've never looked for before, so the lazyweb can chime in on suggestions about the kind of person I'm looking for. We need to flesh out Flumotion's user manual, which has been in a sorry state after my initial burst of writing a few years ago.

So, I'm not sure if I'm looking for a good writer that happens to be interested in Free Software and technology, or if I'm looking for a developer or QA person that just happens to be a decent writer. Maybe a mix of both ?

What I do know is that, if you think this is something you have done in the past or you feel you could do, let me know. And if you've had the same problem before in your company and had to solve it creatively, feel free to let me know as well. Or if you'd just like to pontificate, that works for me as well.

And if you, person of extreme documenting skills, happen to be at FOSDEM, hunt me down and talk to me!

We are, besides that, also looking for the usual - talented savvy developers with experience in or a desire to learn Python, and hack on the core of Flumotion, our platform, related services, or our websites and portals. We need more than one, so don't be shy - if you think, and rightly so, that Barcelona is a great city to be and Flumotion is a great company to get you there, let me know! Step up at FOSDEM and let me know, or drop me a line at thomas at flumotion dot com
