eSpace at SWAlex: A Story of Beginnings, Endings and Visions Realized

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:56:21 GMT

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

Wed, 10 Nov 2010 11:51:03 GMT

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.

Marginize: A Real Entrepreneurship Story

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:44:54 GMT

One day we got this call from Ziad Sultan, a young and enthusiastic entrepreneur from Boston, MA, and he had this crazy Idea. His vision was to create a margin to websites… creating an augmented or meta web, where people can share their thoughts in real time on any website. eSpace created a team working very closely with Ziad, and over the months the startup, Marginize was created, enrolled in TechStars, and a mere three months later graduated being the only company succeeding in raising the money it needed even before the end of the event. The aspiring story about Dharmesh, a very successful entrepreneur and angel investor, sending his interest to invest in Marginize through marginize was the talk of the community in Boston for a while now. Around the same time as the TechStars event, which eSpace had the privilege to attend and catch on the fever, Marginize was featured in TechCrunch and a featured app for Google’s Buzz.
