eSpace family members

With the proper organization, it takes little more than innovative, passionate people to create an event that is meant to inspire, and that is what Startup Weekends are: an attempt to inspire and encourage creativity over the course of a 54-hour gathering of visionaries, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, marketers, and managers. Since the first Startup Weekend in 2007, the event has been held around the world and Alexandria held its first Startup Weekend from the 22nd to the 24th of September. For three days, the Arab Academy of Science and Technology acted as a host to an amazing event that brimmed with productivity, creativity, and the joy of sharing; we were lucky enough to be at the center.

Migrating from Subversion to Git

A lot of websites are talking about Git. Git is currently one of the hot topics around the internet, it's a well respected distributed revision control system used by many of the top frameworks (Rails, jQuery, ...), Git as many know was originally created by Linus Torvalds for the Linux kernel.

On the other hand we at eSpace are always on the look out for technologies and tools that help us deliver applications with the quality that satisfies our clients and our team.

Taking these point into consideration, moving from Subversion (our current SCM) to Git was an easy decision.In this article I'll show a straight forward setup that integrates Git 1.7.x with Apache 2.2.x and using OpenLDAP for authentication.
