2021-W34 Update from anDREa

General

Holidays affect the development capacity, but we're moving nicely forward.

The good thing is that Microsoft sent us an Azure Sponsorship Offer that will help to move some backend improvements forward. One such thing is multi-region support. In potential even interesting for users who want or must store and process data in another region; e.g. Switzerland, North Europe, Germany.

Another area that Microsoft really helps us, is by offering to join their Partner Program. This seriously helps with getting access to new customers that will help to build a larger developer team. Talking of which, anDREa has an opening for UX-experienced person who can redesign myDRE.org, and we have several openings for back-end developers. One of the 'interesting' things, work place is home ...and home can be anywhere.

On Acceptance

Items here have past the testing stage and are now tested and reviewed on acceptance. Take into account that some findings can push the items here back to the devs; in potential all the way back to the drawing board. So no indication as to when these will hit production.

Some of the items in the pipeline

Digital Survival Company is a partner that we engage for things anDREa cannot do themselves. We are going over the nifty gritty, but it looks like they can help us out with a person who knows his Linux and Squid. Why would you care? If we come to agreement, we can start working on implementing the URL-whitelisting design we have; e.g. also dynamic IPs can then whitelisted by Privileged Members (~Owners).
