For anyone not familiar with the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development)

Also check out Peter Hendricks 90 pager on using scrum and agile techniques in a paperware approach - http://www.crisp.se/henrik.kniberg/ScrumAndXpFromTheTrenches.pdf

The ideas and processes expressed in the paper would be a good basis for a drupal module I think!

profile node clusters / performance

On December 15th, 2007 Mindy (not verified) said:

Great podcast!

Newbie question ...
You mention that a user profile consists of a cluster of nodes, with a separate node type for each section of the profile.
Is it generally advisable to minimize the number of nodes per user profile? Or does the number of nodes per user profile not have a significant effect on performance?

load balancing

On January 19th, 2008 vinceyoumans (not verified) said:

I had a question about your load balancing. Horizontal load balancing makes sence to me. I assume your using a separate disk array perhaps over iSCSI or something like that. but are there any really significant hardware platforms that are COTS and complement the load balancing strategy. I was most interested in the session and account management. also do you have any special tricks in reguards to load balancing static content other than memcache? perhaps a special way to integrate lithttp?

interesting 48 minutes. I need to check your site out more.

man, that's a long interview
