Try moving your pointer around to different positions very close to the top right corner. This triggers a picture with a wristwatch and water bottle. The pointing is done by the right hand, which if your pointer is too far right is cut out of the frame, but becomes visible as you move towards the left.

The content team (teachers, video, audio, motion design) is a sizable portion of the company. They focus on writing, producing, and supporting the learning content and video.

The app team (devs + designers) focus on things like the the web app, the learning tools like our code challenges, and quite a bit of other stuff.

We have support team members who are always interacting with and helping our students. Marketing, sales, and operations are doing what you would expect them to.

It's interesting to watch the scaling in person. When I started it was just Nick Pettit and myself as teachers ( and we did our own video/audio work), Ryan the CEO, and we had a contract dev and designer. Now it's ~60, not even sure of the exact number, and everyone keeps really busy.

Remember the registry deals with the actual data, and delegates auth and other stuff to an index. The docker-registry has a dummy implementation of an index that has no notion of authentication or authorization, so anything you push to your private registry is really public if you don't secure it with some other method.

For me, I wanted to have a real private registry with access control limited to my team. It turned out to not be too difficult to make our own registry+index implementation that is private by default. It has a basic web interface too. I've open sourced development of it https://github.com/jimrhoskins/stevedore . It's still really rough, especially on the web interface stuff, but for push/pull operations with required authentication, it does the job now.

Telescope was my favorite of the choices I saw. Great work.

We also has a lot of emails about interesting articles about our company, or the space we're in. Sometimes discussions would happen in email, and not being well threaded it was hard to follow. Also those emails are not usually actionable, but they appear in your inbox.

We post a lot of interesting links in convoy, as well as all the above categories of conversation. It definitely has more of a reddit feel than a HN feel. It's not a work-only type of environment. We have fun. Since the video team has hours of video of the teachers, they have this habbit of making embarrassing animated gifs and posting them, which is fun.

We don't really have rules about what you CAN post in convoy, we have guidelines about what you SHOULDN'T put in email. If it's not a good convoy post, votes will take care of it.

Why not discourse/reddit/telescope/etc...? I looked into those. Solving the problem we needed a few basic things, posts, threaded comments, and votes. The killer feature that we wanted it to be private to our company, and we wanted authentication integrated with http://teamtreehouse.com. Hacking any existing solutions to fit that auth model seemed more work than it was worth.

When it comes down to it, it's a ridiculously simple app. There's a few models, and not a whole lot of code. When we gauged the effort of integrating most of the OS solutions into our oauth system and locking it down to be in-company only, just making the app was way easier. Plus. we can easily extend it to fit our needs, and we have. Also, I wanted to play w/ rails 4 + ruby 2 for the first time.

Regarding the name, it was a code name. The tool is built for having conversations (convos), and I though convoy was a cool codename. As soon as Ryan saw my working prototype, he told me to launch it, and the name stuck. I didn't even know there was a movie.
