Fluidinfo sponsors Twisted!

Fluidinfo is Twisted's latest sponsor!  We asked if they could share some of the joys of sponsorship with us, and they had this to say about it:

At Fluidinfo, we're heavy users of Twisted. All of our infrastructure depends on it. FluidDB, our social database, is entirely built on Twisted, and we've released several core parts of it as open source: txAMQP, txRDQ and txThrift. Not only that, but we have contributed to Twisted both with code and (albeit small) personal donations.

It's not just that sponsoring was the fair the thing to do, it has also produced tremendous results in a framework crucial to our business. When you donate to the TSF it's simple math that more bugs get fixed, but also the quality of the entire Twisted project is enhanced. And when that happens, all of our products are enhanced automatically without us writing one line of code. So sponsoring is not just an act of generosity, it's an investment in Fluidinfo. Using and sponsoring Twisted has been an indispensable "force multiplier" for a growing start-up like us.

New Success Story

We've added a great success story for PowerCard, a loyalty rewards program for local restaurants. One of the terrific things about the PowerCard story is the use of Twisted for both back-end and client-facing systems. It's a great reminder that Twisted is as useful solving problems on Windows platforms as it is on the Linux/UNIX-based systems many of us code for.

New Twisted Ambassador

And why do we have these new and updated listings for 3rd-party code? It's because we have a new guy who has volunteered to maintain and update the listings!

Jason J. W. Williams is Twisted's new ambassador to 3rd-party projects of all kinds.Primarily this responsibility involves keeping the "Success Stories" and "Projects Using Twisted" pages up to date, and occasionally writing small updates (like this one) for the news feed.

Please contact success at twisted matrix dot com if you have a success story about how you used Twisted, a pointer to some hitherto unknown code that uses Twisted, or for more information. And watch this space for more updates!
