Announcing the Topicus Dashboard
The Topicus Dashboard is an information radiator showing build status,
production server status, twitter timeline, train departure times,
important events and much more.
The Atlassian folks are running a competition for the Ultimate
Wallboard and we (Topicus) just submitted our entry for the
competition: the Topicus Dashboard.
If you like our dashboard, you are welcome to vote for it and help us
win the 55" flatscreen display in the Atlassian (known for JIRA and
Confluence) Ultimate Wallboard Competition:
http://ultimatewallboard.com/entries/91860
The entry sports a movie (the guy in the picture is Emond, a co-worker
at Topicus)
As we like to share our innovations we hosted our dashboard on github,
and you are free to run the software and modify it for your own use
(or your customers). The software is currently licensed using the GPL
3.
The project can be found here: https://github.com/dashorst/dashboard
Most of the credits for this project go to Emond Papegaaij (and if you
find a bug, call him, not me :)
On behalf of the dashboard developers,
Martijn Dashorst
PS. Really: please vote and let us win the big screen TV!

For people who want to try the dashboard, it depends on a patched version of
WiQuery, which fixes several problems found in the official 1.1 release. You
can find this version of WiQuery at https://github.com/papegaaij/wiquery .
It requires a very recent, webkit-based browser to run. We recommend Safari
(best with webkit-nightly) or a Chromium daily build. Plain Safari works quite
well, but with some minor issues. Google Chrome is able to display the page,
but most of the effects do not work well.

Thanks for having the competition! It was fun to be part of it and we
used it as a nice deadline for our wallboard. It was really the icing
on the cake for us developing the wallboard.

You should do it American Idol style. Don't let anyone vote until all
contestants have had a chance to sing. Martijn, start practicing your
singing for next year! :)

@Martijn - I work at Atlassian and was one of the organizers of the
campaign. Thanks for your *awesome* entry and I appreciate your critiques
below. :)
We did think about the problem of the community vote favoring the early
entries. Our rationale for having submissions and entries end at the same
time included a couple factors:
* Timing: Due to internal timing constraints we knew the 4 week contest was
going to bump up against Thanksgiving, where a lot of US-based participants
would be out of town.
* Inevitability: Even a week or two extra could be too little to overcome an
early leader. So, like any community vote (e.g.
http://musicmachinery.com/2009/04/27/moot-wins-time-inc-loses/ Moot's gaming
of the Time Poll ), it's often an imperfect balance.
* Non-voting categories: We made the community prize the least significant
and included two other judge-ranked categories to incentivize entrants and
reduce the impact of community voting / timing.
* Simplicity: We felt that entrants would most excited about sharing their
entry when they submitted it, and for those not interested in a vote rush,
it could've dragged out the campaign.
As for how it ended up - the winner of the community award Walle-D entered
the contest about halfway through and upset early favorite Willow Creek (who
had a two week head-start). So the simultaneous deadline didn't end up being
a impossible barrier.
That all said, we're listening to everyone's feedback and promise to do a
better job next time. Feel free to hit me up @ jlambe at atlassian dot com
with any other thoughts.
P.S. It doesn't look like you filled out the
https://atlassian.wufoo.com/forms/the-ultimate-wallboard-tshirt/ Ultimate
Wallboard t-shirt form - I'd be willing to let you enter late if you want a
shirt - but you'll have to hustle and get it in today!

Re: Announcing the Topicus Dashboard

Rather strange: they closed the public voting round at the same time
as the submission deadline. This strikes me as weird since late
registrants (such as ourselves) are unable to garner any community
support. Sounds like someone didn't think this through...

The competition has run its course and unfortunately the Topicus
Dashboard is not the winner, however we did get an honorable mention
from the judges:

> complimented by local railway schedules, twitter, weather, and
> google calendars -- including birthdays and beer time!
>
> "Features like tracking transport delays, the excellent two speed

You can read more about the competition and our dashboard here:

Thanks to everybody that managed to get a vote in during the 8 hours
of voting that were left.
