Arrivata stamattina da uno dei responsabili della nuova équipe di Santa Monica. Speriamo in bene...
Dear Airliners.net Community,
It's quite humbling to be part of this group of true urbane aviation
enthusiasts and is my first thought every morning when I arrive at the
office.
As you all know, I'm just a cog in the wheel of this big site trying to
look after the business, its assets and our team here in Santa Monica. The
user/members, photographers and Crew at Anet make this community site what
it is.
Ever since we purchased the site from Johan, the bar has never dipped
below unattainable and as all of you know - for all the right reasons.
This is a bar set by all of you and our goal is to meet and exceed this
every day.
So we tried to increase capacity and speed and database organization. We
opened a new data center with new equipment and 10 times the connectivity.
The combination between a Winchester house of code (no offense to Johan and
Henrik as they never thought Anet would be this large) and a server
strategy and database created in the 90's was a lethal dose and we had
little chance of surviving a complete migration without some pain. The
community deserves nothing slight of perfection and once this database
load issue and ever-deteriorating bugs are cleaned up, we will have an
extremely robust and scalable back end at which point we can begin adding
the new features and benefits we have been promising.
I once again take full responsibility for assuming this house of cards
migration / push. Yes - we could have done this 10 different ways and yes
- we should have done it all 9 of the other ways. We have the best of the
best developers and network engineers and they are all doing what they can
to make this situation go away asap.
Sunny, Jon, Chris, Jeff R, Steve, Monique, and the rest of our staff-
THANK YOU for your amazing dedication to Anet. I want to especially thank
the Anet Crew for their diligence, patience and willingness to do what
ever it takes to search and report bugs and in many cases fix them.
As you all know, we are not out of the weeds just yet but getting very
close to correcting all the issues with our Screening system as well as
MYSQL servers. I understand the frustration level is as high as it has
ever been and this is very upsetting to all of us. Monique has been tasked
daily with repetitive issues many which are very complicated not to mention
her main job is to communicate, monitor and resolve community and Crew
issues. This has taken its toll but we are swinging through this and every
day we see more light.
On a personal note- I must say, for once in my life I have chosen to take
on a business that resonates so deep in my gut that I feel every moan and
groan of Anet and I can say Monique feels the same way. What we are doing
with Anet will create a new platform and a dev environment scalable beyond
our imagination but first we have to migrate and fix the immediate
situation and this is going to take some patience and understanding from
each perspective area of the community.
All my best,
Paulo
