Schibsted Tech Polska now has 15 different partner companies – almost all of them part of Schibsted Media Group. The teams work with different technologies and products.
An essential part of the company philosophy is to share competence and experience between the teams and partners.
But how to do that?
One activity is our monthly Super Demos. Programmers give short presentations for each other about the projects they work on and how they use different technologies to solve the challenges.
Presentations are usually 3-5 minutes long – and on some super demos there can be up to 10 presentations in a row.
Here are five of the presentations from the last super demo in Schibsted Tech Polska.
Lykke – a celebratory announcements portal
Ads for births, weddings and anniversaries have always been an essential part of a subscription paper. But how to present the same celebratory announcements on digital platforms?
Lykke – meaning “happiness” – is a project developed for four subscription newspapers in Norway: Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende, Stavanger Aftenblad (will be branded Gratulerer) and Fædrelandsvennen.
Here is the presentation by Piotr Knapik, team leader for Schibsted Norge Digital:
Real-time analysis of click-streams
Many news stories live only for a few hours. Therefore it is important for journalists to have immediate data on how the stories are spreading on the web, for instance through social media.
To help the journalists understand how their stories spread the Aftenposten team in Schibsted Tech Polska has experimented with variety of big data technologies to create a tool for real-time analysis of click-streams.
Robert Tekielak is team leader for Aftenposten. Here is his presentation:
