Description
We are excited to announce the open-source launch of Grid, the Guardian's innovative image management system. This narrative details our collaborative efforts in developing Grid, focusing on strong partnerships with our editorial teams and leveraging a contemporary technology stack. The project has been entirely Open Source, allowing for greater community engagement. Over the past year, a dedicated team has worked tirelessly to create this image management service, employing a practical Agile methodology that emphasizes direct user involvement to ensure the final product meets their requirements and expectations. The outcome is a service that is now seamlessly integrated with our print workflow, currently handling nearly half of all images featured in our digital publications. As the larger Editorial Tools teams advanced in creating a comprehensive suite of editorial solutions—encompassing content creation, workflow management, and the editing of front and section pages—the urgency for a robust media repository became increasingly crucial to our operations. The collaborative nature of this project has not only enhanced our capabilities but also strengthened our commitment to open-source principles.
