Open Source + Rails + Music Industry
Eric Ivancich
Ron Suarez, a principle in Loud Feed, asked me if could pass the
following along. If you're interested or have questions please contact
Ron directly:
Ron initially sent this to me:
> I am seeking Ruby on Rails developers who may also have an interest
> in the music industry.
>
> I am planning to make Loud Feed Open Source. Loud Feed is a content
> management system that we built in Ruby on Rails to be specialized
> for the music industry. It leverages Amazon Web Services for storage
> and bandwidth, plus Clearspring technology for social media widgets.
When I asked him for details on what kind of relationship he was
looking for with respect to Rails developers, he replied with the
following:
> My goal is to have Loud Feed do for the music industry what
> Wordpress has done for the publishing industry. Automattic has a
> business model that helps them to make money and also enables others
> to build their own business around Wordpress consulting. In that
> fashion I hope to grow a community of contractors who would
> sometimes sub-contract from my on projects I find with clients or
> simply go off on their own, but be a part of the community to
> support the Open Source project.
