Code and Craic

The TerminusDB team are not just tech geniuses, we also have musical talent. Last month we have made a parody of a pop song and we named it “Super Database”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNbc44TGBTc Today we have the star of the video - Sreya to be in our webinar. She also takes care of the core TerminusDB team on daily bases. Let’s ask her what does she think of the team and the making of “Super Database”.

Have you seen our videos about our roadmap? It's cute and informative about how our personal experienced using TerminusDB. Do you want to know the making of it? How it guided us in our development? And maybe how to apply this in your team as well? This week we will have our Director Of Services talking about how to make all these "episodes" to guide development and why is it good practice.

In TerminusDB, we have a lovely community and user group that is very active on Discord. We also have weekly webinars and WOQL tutorials. As an open-source software, we care a lot about our users and we are ready to put a lot of effort in developer relations. This week we will have our Developer Relations Lead - Cheuk Ting Ho to answer all questions related to DevRel, Community and working with TerminusDB.

We have released the canary release of TerminusDB 2.0 last week. There are many cool features including time travel and version control collaboration features. There may be lot’s of questions about this release, so we will have our CEO Kevin Feeney giving us a tour of it and answer questions about the new release.

One type of questions that we get a lot are questions related to operations and administrations when using TerminusDB. That’s why this week we have our devops superstar in the core TerminusDB team, Robin de Rooij, to join us in the webinar and answer some frequently asked questions.

Due to the high demand, we are going to do a REMAKE of our first Webinar: Anatomy of a Knowledge Graph where we have Kevin Feeney, CEO of TerminusDB and Gavin Mendel-Gleason, CTO and creator of TerminusDB to answer questions about knowledge graph, design choices of TerminusDB and comparing TerminusDB to other graph databases.

This week we are very honoured to have our 5 star Terminator - Chris Horn - founder and CEO of IONA Technologies, board member of several tech companies including TerminusDB, chair of many organisations including UNICEF Ireland. Sure we will learn a lot about leadership in tech companies, especially for start-ups by chatting with him.

Two-third of the world has been in lockdown for a month now. However, it has been a productive month for our TerminusDB team. We are working fast to prepare for the release of Hub next month. How did we do that? How does a start-up tech company face this challenge and adopt the changes? How would this pandemic affect the business of the tech industry? We ask Luke Feeney, our business and operations lead these questions.

In this episode, rather than focus on just tech, we want to know more about the core team behind TerminusDB. Currently, we have 2 female developers in the dev team (out of 6, not bad), and I have some questions to ask them. We want to be inspired not just by technological knowledge, but also by their experience as a developer in a male-dominated industry. Join us in the Webinar if you want to be inspired!

In TerminusDB HQ, we are working very hard to make TerminusHub happened. It is an epic journey and it has a grand vision - to share and collaborate data like GitHub. So, what’s the deal regarding TerminusHub? When can we use it? What can I do with it? Will it be free? This week, I will interview Kevin Feeney, CEO of TerminusDB, (again) to ask about the current state of Hub and answer all the questions that we have in mind.
