We knew there was room in the marketplace for a hosted tools vendor who treated small teams with just as much care and consideration as a big enterprise IT department. But we were all a bit taken aback by the tremendous response we've received for
ProjectLocker Lite. For those of you asking to take part in an official ProjectLocker affiliate program, you may yet get your wish later this summer. In the meantime, we thought we'd try something simple to whet your appetites, so we're having a Referral Raffle.
You can now get entries into our drawing for a brand new
iPhone from Apple simply by telling your friends and fellow developers about ProjectLocker. When your friends sign up from our
website, make sure they enter your email address into the "Referral Source" field at the bottom of the page during checkout. Whoever has the most referrals as of midnight EST August 31, 2008 will be awarded an
iPhone, courtesy of ProjectLocker. So, if you love our service, go spread the word -- you may just strike mobile gold.

While we're very big proponents of Subversion here at ProjectLocker, we also recognize that even the best tools and, consequently, the teams that use them can be crippled by the wrong development processes. With that in mind, here is an excellent article by Henrik Kniberg, a Certified Scrum Master with Crisp, a Stockholm-based Agile consulting firm. In it, he proposes a methodology to most effectively make use of your version control tool when applying Agile best practices in an environment with multiple & distinct teams working from common code base. Notice that he never mentions a specific version control tool, just a set of procedures and team protocols to help optimize the process. More details at the link below:
"Version Control for Multiple Agile Teams"
