Comment Remote working can be very productive (Score 1) 165

by amoeba47 (#53897801) Attached to: Slashdot Asks: Are Remote Software Teams More Productive?
FWIW, I work remotely with a team based in an office. The performance metrics such as number of stories completed, rate of tasks completed, story point difficulty and commit history metrics show that I'm actually the most production member on the team. I think remote working is great, you can do what needs to be done and work more autonomously, but the productivity would depend on the person being employed.

Comment Drupal rocks :) (Score 3, Informative) 55

by amoeba47 (#51260571) Attached to: Drupal Update Process Flawed By Multiple Bugs
As someone who has developed with Drupal for several years, I just want to add a positive perspective to balance the expected usual negative comments here. Drupal is a great CMS and web application framework. Extensible and flexible it can be adapted for many applications. Moreover, the Drupal community is knowledgeable and helpful. Growing from strength to strength with each release, I love working with Drupal. That is all.

Valencia Linux School Distro Saves 36 Million Euro 158

Posted by timothy from the oh-no-big-deal dept.
jrepin (667425) writes "The government of the autonomous region of Valencia (Spain) earlier this month made available the next version of Lliurex, a customisation of the Edubuntu Linux distribution. The distro is used on over 110,000 PCs in schools in the Valencia region, saving some 36 million euro over the past nine years, the government says." I'd lke to see more efforts like this in the U.S.; if mega school districts are paying for computers, I'd rather they at least support open source development as a consequence.
