5 days together: taking a step back to move forward

About

Although we work in the same company, the daily life of each Dareboost collaborator is very specific. About a year ago, we have hired our first remote workers. That was a new organization to be found. We do not live in the same place, don’t have the same jobs or routines, and it sometimes does not make it easy to share our successes, our doubts, our feelings. We’re enthusiastic and absorbed in what we’re building, but we also need to take a step back, once in a while, to nurture our vision and company culture.

We regularly meet in Dareboost’ headquarter (Rennes, France) for a few days of brainstorming where we alternate between workshops, indoor or outdoor activities, and friendly meals (long live the raclette!). Continue reading 5 days together: taking a step back to move forward →

Incident: no response from Google domains for Paris and Amsterdam probes

About

[08:45 PM UTC]UPDATE : the network issue seems to be fixed now, we have removed the temporary blacklists and are monitoring closely the situation.

Since about 10:00 AM UTC this Sunday (12 Nov. 2017), Dareboost is facing issues for websites tested from Paris and Amsterdam.
Only websites using resources from Google domains are affected (Google Analytics, Google Fonts, etc). As these resources are very frequently used, numerous websites are affected by the issue. Consequently we’re communicating with details on the issue, although the issue is out of our reach (the connectivity issue does not depend on our infrastructure).

All our team members are mobilized and we’re doing our best to get this issue fixed as soon as possible. Continue reading Incident: no response from Google domains for Paris and Amsterdam probes →
