Studio55 – for MTV3 @ Josh
Studio55 is a popular Finnish TV show airing every morning Monday to Friday. The target audience is men and women over the age of 55.
The Studio55 community is an implementation of the community platform XCAP. I was technical project owner, back-end developer and responsible for the server environment. We worked in a small team, where the front-end developers were located in Finland. I built a customer specific solution to make existing XCAP modules work together for the special day views on the site and functionality to import and cache XML data from an existing CMS-system into the site.
Comments Offjosh.se – @ Josh
Josh Sthlm is the company where I worked for two and a half years building communities. Their website was recently completely remade and the CMS functionality from Josh’s community platform XCAP is now used.
I made the system completely configurable for this site, so that no code needs to be changed when someone wants to add a module with information to any part of the website.
When I worked at Josh I developed new modules for the platform as well as building customer implementations. Examples of my work is the eventcalendar and the review engine.
Comments OffPå stan-bloggen – for DN @ Josh
På stan is a part of the large Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The site has a blog, which is updated daily by the editorial staff. På stan-bloggen is probably most famous for “Strages youtubiana”, where Fredrik Strage listed the 100 best moment of rock as Youtube clips. For this he was awarded the Grand Journalist Prize, as innovator of the year.
The blog is built upon the XCAP community platform. Together with a great team of consultants from a number of different companies we integrated the blog with the CMS system Polopoly and hooked it up with the great design.
For my part, I wrote Spring controllers, customized the XCAP Admin so that the editors could write blog entries (this is normally done by community users, from within a community) and built customized search functionality.
When På stan-bloggen turned out to be a success we implemented the blog for the main DN site as well. For På stan I’ve also built the XCAP comment and rating implementation and an import function to retrieve comments from the site Eniro.
Comments OffSubject – for MTV3 @ Josh
Subject is a very popular Finnish community, connected to the TV channel MTV3. Users can upload videos and images and write eachother messages, but it is the forum that is the most used part with over one million entries in just a couple of years. The forum is the place to be to discuss the Finnish version of the Big Brother show and Idol!
For Subject I’ve been adding extra functionality such as photo galleries for the users and doing bug fixes when problems have appeared. I also handled the releases to the numerous servers.
Comments OffExpressen Nöje – for Expressen @ Josh
Nöje is the more relaxed part of the Swedish newspaper Expressen. It has a community where users originally could find events in an eventcalendar that imported events from the ticket booking site Ticnet. They could also “own” celebrity pages and write reviews about for example movies.
I was part of the team that built the front-end for Expressen Nöje, and I also built the functionality for the eventcalendar and the review engine in the community platform XCAP, on which the community is built.
Comments OffFejmTV – for TV4 @ Josh
FejmTV was a video community for teenagers, where the users could upload their own movies and leave comments.
Unfortunately, with sites like Youtube out there, the community didn’t manage to keep the target group interested enough, so the site is now closed.
FejmTV was one of my first projects at Josh, in which I was a member of the front-end team.
