BUILDING INTERNET AND MOBILE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
Finally, we renamed our software platform (which until now had no official name) with the name of TubeSpark. The vast majority of our applications and web projects are developed on TubeSpark (currently working on version 4.2) TubeSpark is a software that allows the creation of all types of cutting-edge applications for the Internet in a quick and efficient manner.
In late summer, we closed the new version 4.2 of the set of libraries (framework) that we use to develop all our projects and applications. As big news, I would like to stress that from now on, all applications developed by Conductiva have native support for OpenID user authentication. The OpenID is an authentication standard that allows users to access a large number of websites without having to remember multiple usernames or multiple passwords. In parallel to OpenID support in all our applications, we have launched a service that operates on the OpenID standard to generate OpenID identifiers. The new service is called LonelyID. These new identifiers allow authentication through a random password generated directly on your mobile phone. So far, LonelyID supports iPhone and iPod touch devices, but we are preparing new versions for devices from other manufacturers.
A couple of weeks ago we were foretelling its release but now we can say that LonelyID service is a reality!
This year, in the Campus Party 2009, we participated in the development of a software application for registering and printing of accreditation cards.
This summer we took part in a project to carry out recreational activities with gift awards in the stands of Telefonica in the Feria Internacional de Muestras de Asturias (FIDMA, International Trade Exhibition of Asturias). The action was intended to mount a series of stands where visitors to the exhibition could perform multiple game activities. For each activity, the participant got a score based on skills demonstrated during the activity. After harvesting the total score of all activities, participants were able to pick up their gifts which changed depending on the number of points obtained in the different activities. Conductiva has been responsible for developing the control software in the various activity stands and gift stands. Here we present some of the technical challenges we faced and the solutions we applied in each case.
The website for advertising agency Targeting, www.targeting.es, contains a new section: Press Office (Sala de prensa in spanish). Conductiva's blog publisher software combined with Conductiva's newsletter software (with subscriber management and massive email delivery) have been in charge to get the work done. Both tools (blog and newsletter) have been used in several of our projects during these last months.
Since last October, we've been involved with the development and maintenance of a set of community websites (sponsored by Telefónica)
After some weeks of development, we launch the final version of a website called, www.foodtraceability.eu, sponsored by European Union as part of Trace european project. The main goal of the website is to provide you with an introduction into the world of food traceability. Different people think very differently about traceability. The website tries to respect this variety of mindsets by giving a space to each of the different viewpoints about traceability. Whatever is your particular viewpoint, the people behind TraceFood (see Who we are) are trying to make your life easier by providing easy to follow Good Traceability Practices and a standard for exchanging traceability data.
Conductiva's web content platform used for content publishing mecanism and marketing content management in winzingo website. It integrates with online game platform from Canadian company Parlay Entertainment , a world leading company in online bingos and casinos.
In one of the projects we were involved during the year 2008, we implemented a system to record online video streaming without having to install any additional software on the computer. Recording online video streamingWe set up small site (owned by Telefonica) where Valencia CF fans could record their songs of encouragement to their team to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey (Valencia CF - FC Barcelona). Fans recorded their home video via streaming and, after passing a content validation process, the video was automatically posted on the website. The best recorded videos were finally broadcast on the giant screens in the Mestalla stadium during halftime of the game.
Offline video recordingThe software was also designed to be installed on laptops (Pixman) and provide offline video recording. Around the Mestalla stadium, fans could record their videos. At the end of each day of recording, all recorded videos were automatically uploaded and published to the web server.
On the development of the website for the advertising agency Targeting, www.targeting.es, we have tried to push our Flash programming a bit further using the 3D engine called papervision 3D to recreate the three-dimensional effects over the transitions in the project list. The experience was good and we hope to repeat it again in other projects. The website has been developed entirely in Flash and its contents are fully self-managed using conductiva's content management software.
