The new BuddyPress site is up and includes the key ingredients of an open source project: mailing list, bug tracker, and SVN. No official release of anything yet, but if you’re interested in following the development you should join the mailing list. The site itself is, of course, powered by WordPress.

Catching up on March
March is almost over, but email-wise I’m just getting started. Between the travel, conferences like SxSW and WordCamp, the 2.5 release, and the wisdom tooth stuff I’ve got stuff backed up even from Febuary. I’m back home this week so I’ll be doing as much catch-up as possible. If you get a response to an old email from me, that’s why.
Consistent Hashing
Programmer’s Toolbox Part 3: Consistent Hashing. It would be interesting if something like this could be folded into the currently random slave server selection for HyperDB.
WordCamp Day Two, many clouds
A few pictures of day 2 of WordCamp; lots of Texas clouds, which are the prettiest in the world.
WordCamp Dallas and WordPress 2.5
The talk this morning at WordCamp Dallas was quite enjoyable. The audience here is very sharp and on-point, there was a ton of participation and great questions. They also had delicious Rudy’s BBQ for lunch, which I nibbled at as much as I could. Also (roughly) concurrent with the talk we released WordPress 2.5. Funnily because I kept the edit screen for the announcement open from stage the concurrent editing protection prevented anyone else fom publishing the post! Andy told me after I was done and I pushed the button, but it’s good to know the feature works. 🙂

MyBabyOurBaby.com on MU
MyBabyOurBaby.com is a baby scrapbooking site built on WordPress MU. They were written up in Mashable a few weeks ago, surprised it hasn’t gotten more coverage. It’s a good example of what MU is capable of, joining Edublogs, AllthingsD, and Chickspeak. Any other awesome MU-powered sites you’ve seen recently?

Share Icon
The open source Share Icon is back, after its trace disappearing from the internet for a time. Good on Share This for promoting this project to the community. The spread of this icon, which already is incredibly ubiquitous, will continue.
