[Twisted-Python] Nothing Succeeds Like Success (Stories)
Hello successful Twisted users, Several times over the last month I've been contacted by Twisted supporters who are looking to make the case to others within their organizations that Twisted is a worthwhile thing to sponsor. The most common question has been: "what are other people using this for?". Inevitably they'll end up at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/SuccessStories - if we're lucky, they'll also see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ProjectsUsingTwisted, but that's only a slight improvement. These pages are pretty anemic and frankly don't present a good impression of what is really possible with Twisted. I note that several prominent users aren't represented at all. You know who you are! If you're a happy Twisted user who has used Twisted to do something cool, *please* send in a blurb for the success stories page! This could translate into more money and more development for Twisted, thus making it even more awesome. This goes double if you're a sponsor: please let us know why you sponsored and how happy you were that you did :). If you're looking to volunteer some time for Twisted, but don't have much time to volunteer, becoming to be the official curator of these pages would be a small commitment but it would be quite helpful. As I said, presenting a good public face for Twisted's maturity and broad applicability can translate directly into increased resources, so in the long term it would have a big impact. Finally, if you're _not_ happy, it's always great to get some constructive criticism. Best would be in the form of well-specified bugs filed at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/newticket, of course ;). Thanks, -glyph

I'll see if I can write something up for ITA. We should also add all the projects from the launchpad tx (those that have actual releases, anyway) to the ProjectsUsingTwisted page. My "itamar" account appears to no longer be able to edit wiki pages - could someone fix that? Thanks!
Hello,
I am in a hurry, but here are a few projects I am working on. They all
use Twisted. They are all intended to be used in audio-video artworks
and tools.
* Toonloop : (toonloop.com) Software suite for performing with live
frame by frame animation creation
* Lunch : (http://svn.sat.qc.ca/trac/lunch) Simple process launcher
for complex distributed setup
* Scenic : (http://svn.sat.qc.ca/trac/scenic) Telepresence software
for wide bandwidth networks and oriented toward live performances
* Purity : (http://wiki.dataflow.ws/Purity) Python library for Pure
Data dynamic patching to create audio patches.
Cheers,
a

Thanks! I've added these to ProjectsUsingTwisted. If you are in less of a hurry later on and would like to talk about how great Twisted is in the context of one of your projects, it would be great to put a longer blurb on SuccessStories too :). -glyph

Rdbhost Rdbhost uses Twisted for a streaming web-server. The streaming server allows users to stream large SQL 'dump' files to and from the database host using a web browser. http://www.rdbhost.com -- dkeeney@rdbhost.com Rdbhost -> SQL databases as a webservice [www.rdbhost.com]

Thanks, David. I've added that to ProjectsUsingTwisted. For SuccessStories though, we like it to be a bit punchier, and have at least a small blurb about why Twisted was especially well-suited to the job or how it helped things get done quicker, or something impressive about the performance/scale of the application. Plus, it's nice to have a name and an official title to put along with the recommendation. Do you mind if we credit you as "David Keeney, Founder, RdbHost"? If it's not too much trouble, would you mind having a look at the other stuff at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/SuccessStories and use one of them as an example? Thanks again, -glyph
