The Virtual Office - DogHouse Media's Temporary HQ

by Simon

Where the sky meets the land, the desert meets the sea, where white sands, red rocks and cobalt blue waters come together is how the Broome visitors centre describes the tropical seaside town that oozes charm and character. Not a likely location for an urban-centric web firm but from next week for 5 days, Broome will be home for DogHouse Media. (Yes that is right, home for the whole company for 5 days).

We do not have plans to hire a semi trailer to move the office to the field or even see a need to drive us all up with an overflowing trailer attached. We will be simply walking on the plane with a small bag, a laptop, our desktop phones, and as soon as the team hits Broome, Doghouse Media will be operating as per normal.

Al Jazeera, Drupal and the Middle Eastern crisis

by Cameron

The following blog post was written by Dries Buytaert, and published as a guest blog post on Forbes.com. It has subsequently found its way here after Dries posted it on his own blog. Al Jazeera faced a 2,000% traffic increase as a result of the crisis in the Middle East. The blog post provides real proof of how Drupal and the Cloud helped one of the largest news organizations in the world survive one of the largest political events in the world. A fascinating story for Drupal!
