The Core Web team at Tumblr is proud to announce the release of Laphs (Live Anywhere Photos - LAPhs; get it?), an open source JavaScript library for implementing Apple’s Live Photos on the web.
We use Laphs to support Live Photos on the web at Tumblr and now you can too! Check it out on github and npm and let us know what you think.
Happy coding!
A few weeks ago, I presented at JNUC 2015 about an emerging approach in IT – a people-centric approach. IT teams have a significant impact on the culture of the organizations we support. Embracing this influence is challenging. But doing so can be transformative.
We covered a lot of ground:
Each year, JAMF produces videos of every session from the 3-day JAMF Nation User Conference, and makes them freely available. I was thrilled to be asked to present, and I’m honored to have been chosen as a highlight of this year’s conference.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Culture Matters: Casper Suite for People Who Fear Going Corporate
This session will be a journey through Tumblr’s experience of rolling out the Casper Suite at an Internet startup that deeply embraces creativity and individual expression. Andrew will focus on the cultural and technical implications of introducing the Casper Suite to a group of people that have every right to question “corporate” answers to challenging problems. Learn from some of Tumblr’s brightest, and take a peak at what drives their creativity.
Presenter: Andrew Montgomery has been practicing Macintosh system and server administration for SMBs in New York City for over 15 years. He has spent much of that time advocating tirelessly for an approach to IT that grows increasingly aware of the profound impact we have on the culture of the organizations we support —and the exciting opportunities this presents. He has been with Tumblr for half of its existence, growing their fleet of Macs from 80 to more than 400. He supports their corporate IT systems at their headquarters in New York City, and lives in Harlem with his wife, Erin.
The JAMF Nation User Conference is the largest gathering of Apple system administrators in the world.
I’ll be speaking about the incredible power of allowing cultural considerations to drive IT decisions.
