Lullabot is proud to announce the launch of its latest project: IgniteShow.com, an archive of videos from Ignite events around the globe. The site, produced for O'Reilly Media, features a curated archive of Ignite's signature 5-minute videos as well as listings of upcoming events, news, cities with established Ignite presence, and information on how to get involved. Additionally, the site features support for live video streaming of events.

Popular videos are featured on the home page and the archive can be searched and sorted by location, event, popularity, chronology, or video tags. Each city has its own landing page on the site which is administered by volunteers. These landing pages (such as http://igniteshow.com/seattle) provide a city-specific archive of videos with city-specific featured videos, popular videos, and chronological archive - contolled by the volunteer administrators. Cities may also feature their own sponsors separate from those elsewhere on the site.

The site was built in about 6 weeks using Drupal by Lullabot with development help from Rapid Waters. The site makes extensive use of the Panels and Organic Groups modules. Videos are hosted on YouTube and brought in to the site using the Embedded Media Field module. Live streaming is provided through integration with UStream and Facebook Livestream. The site is hosted on NeoSpire and features load-balanced web servers with and dedicated database servers. These servers are configured with Solr for search, Varnish http acceleration, and Memcache acceleration on the database.

The site launch anticipates the beginning of Global Ignite Week which takes place March 1st - 5th and will features roughly 10,000 people congregating in over 60 cities on 6 continents. At launch, the site features over 200 videos, however hundreds more will be added during Global Ignite Week.
