Jungle Disk is so glad to have 2013 in the books…lessons learned and finally, we are making progress! First off, let me introduce myself, Tamara Hummel, GM of Jungle Disk, a 9-year Racker who joined the Jungle Disk team in the fall.
Since joining the team I have been asked multiple times what are we up to? I have delayed posting a huge blog until we had real news to share…results over promises is my motto. Some of you may go to our Support Site or Website and notice it looks a little different. We have done a refresh of the brand, simplified our products, and purged a lot of old code along the way.
You may be asking…Where is my new client? Great question and one I ask the team often! Promises were made last year; unfortunately leadership of the team left and the mission was not followed through. We have hired new devs, brought back an original Jungle developer, and they are actively working on them. We are still looking for a really strong C++ dev, if you know any send them my way! The client software is the heart of Jungle Disk and we have to get it right.
What have we been doing? Another great question. We have replaced a large amount of our infrastructure updating code, monitoring, and binary. Did you know at one point we were getting multiple monitoring alerts a week and it has now been 80 days…that’s right….80 days since the last alert! I love my Devops Team =) Keep an eye out for a blog update with more details from our DevOps lead Jungle Trey in the coming weeks!
We are nearing the end of our Android Mobile App development and just starting the new iOS app. We have a few sprints left for the Android App and will be releasing it to Google Play. I will send out another blog soon asking for volunteers to join our Android App Advisory council; they will get a sneak peak at the app and be involved in shaping the new features for next releases.
The one thing that gets me excited is our customers and 2014 is going to be a year where we have a chance to delight!
Thank you for your loyalty!
Jungle Tamara
