|
||
| In a recent post, I was explaining that [I resigned my | ||
| position][post-resigned-to-join-another]. | ||
|
|
||
| The [new _exciting project_][post-on-webplatform-docs-blog] that I was referring | ||
| to is the <a href="http://www.webplatform.org/">WebPlatform</a> project at the | ||
| <a href="http://www.w3.org/2012/10/webplatform.html.en">W3C</a>.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>For people who do not know what the W3C is, it is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>The WebPlatform project is a rapidly growing web development <a href="http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Community">collaborative documentation website</a>.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| > I would even call it the Web developer's missing manual for web developers to build quality web applications using the latest techniques. | ||
| As for the sponsors, it is backed by well known companies, that we refer to as | ||
| [stewards](http://web.archive.org/web/20130328132045/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/), | ||
| such as [Adobe][wbm-steward-adobe], | ||
| [Google](http://web.archive.org/web/20130807101413/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/google/), | ||
| [Mozilla](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:MDN_content_on_WebPlatform.org), | ||
| and Microsoft to name a few. | ||
|
|
||
| <rb-notice-box variant="info" class="my-5"> | ||
| <strong slot="header">The <del>sponsors</del> <ins>stewards</ins> were...</strong> | ||
|
|
||
| Since 2015, the site has stopped receiving funding, we can see a note: | ||
|
|
||
| > The WebPlatform project, supported by various stewards between 2012 and 2015, | ||
| > has been discontinued. ([...](https://webplatform.github.io/)) | ||
| For context: I worked from 2013, up to the end when the sponsors retracted. | ||
| Notes about what I’ve done is in | ||
| [leaving W3C](/blog/2015/07/leaving-w3c#in-retrospective) | ||
|
|
||
| For the sake of completeness, here is the list of the sponsors as they were on | ||
| the public website: | ||
|
|
||
| - [Adobe][wbm-steward-adobe] | ||
| - Apple | ||
| - [Facebook](http://web.archive.org/web/20130212083250/http://webplatform.org:80/stewards/facebook/) | ||
| - [Google](http://web.archive.org/web/20130212083254/http://webplatform.org/stewards/google/) | ||
| - [HP](http://web.archive.org/web/20130806182941/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/hp/ 'HewlettHewlett-Packard, HP Inc.') | ||
| - [Intel](http://web.archive.org/web/20130116171710/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/intel/) | ||
| - [Microsoft](http://web.archive.org/web/20130806125714/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/microsoft/) | ||
| - [Mozilla](http://web.archive.org/web/20130718224134/http://www.webplatform.org:80/stewards/mozilla) | ||
| - [Nokia](http://web.archive.org/web/20130808004756/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/nokia/) | ||
| - [Opera](http://web.archive.org/web/20130213053724/http://webplatform.org/stewards/opera/) | ||
| - [W3C](http://web.archive.org/web/20131204185043/http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/w3c/) | ||
|
|
||
| Later on, HP stopped providing hosting and DreamHost graciously helped us. | ||
|
|
||
| </rb-notice-box> | ||
|
|
||
| I will contribute to the site as a Developer Operations engineer. My work will | ||
| be basically to enhance the features and manage the server infrastructure of the | ||
| site as much as continuing what [I already do as a _hobbyist_ | ||
| speaker][post-one-of-my-first-talks]. | ||
|
|
||
| Roughly, it consist of everything I always did or dreamed of: | ||
|
|
||
| - Work on a flagship site with heavy traffic usage, with and for respected | ||
| professionals around all the world | ||
| - Use my favourite operating system and tools in System Administration | ||
| - Technical liaison with Open-source communities | ||
| - Develop and maintain the community platform, with web development, ensuring | ||
| application performance, and implement continuous deployment | ||
| - Speak and participate at conferences related to web standards | ||
| - Contribute to [moving the web forward](https://movethewebforward.org/), | ||
| full-time (!) | ||
|
|
||
| If you are living in Montreal and you would like me to share with you on how to | ||
| participate in this exciting project, ~~just send me an e-mail and I’ll gladly | ||
| answer~~. | ||

| excerpt: >- | ||
| Right after Ericsson, I started working at TEKsystems for the last month and a | ||
| half. It is amazingly well organized company. Based on my own experience in | ||
| different work contexts, I can say that working with them for web development | ||
| projects was enjoyable. | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| <p>In the last months, many things happened to me.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>First, I worked for almost two years in a contract at Ericsson, but it ended. Therefore, I started searching for a new job. I had some offers and I had a hard time to pick one.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>However, after all, I have just received a new offer <ins><a href="/blog/2013/08/i-am-joining-w3c-to-work-on-the-webplatform-project">to work for the W3C</a>; something I cannot</ins> <del> that I could not</del> turn down.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>I am very excited to have <a href="http://blog.webplatform.org/2013/08/hi-my-name-s-renoir-ill-be-your-devops-for-the-web-platform/">this opportunity</a>. I would even say more: it is a honour.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>I will explain more about it in another moment.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>For now, I would just like to thank <a href="http://www.teksystems.ca/">TEKsystems</a>' team and to mention the many good things about working there:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h2>TEKsystems</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>TEKsystems is a company based in the USA and their main solution development center is located in Montreal Downtown. Most of the projects are web based business applications serving many customers in the united states.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Among the things I enjoyed most were:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>The management team uses Agile methodologies wherever applicable;</li> | ||
| <li>The leadership is strong, and the team leads are skillful;</li> | ||
| <li>The multiple coding technologies in one place: Java, PHP, Frontend, iOS, Android, .NET, </li> | ||
| <li>The multidisciplinary team: Architecture, Business Analysis, User experience;</li> | ||
| <li>The members of the team, at the end of the project, get shuffled in the office to start a new one;</li> | ||
| <li>The internal structure to create mini-projects so we can learn and contribute from other employes;</li> | ||
| <li>The fact that the office is located in Montreal Downtown, and right beside McGill University where I am starting a Continuing Studies Courses certificate</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>I worked there for the last month and a half, and it is amazingly well organized company. Based on my own experience in different work contexts, I can say that working with them for web development projects was enjoyable.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>If it wasn't because of my new opportunity, I would have stayed there for a long while.</p> |
