This is the Yomo team minus one key member…Dimas Begunoff. It’s another typical Sunday morning where we can meet face to face and argue/debate/suggest key features as we prepare for the alpha release. It’s an eclectic group with great contributions coming from all.A lot of effort has gone into Yomo so far and it’s a long road ahead…but…we’re all excited about our progress and the huge potential of what we’re building.It’s exciting to see what can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time when you have people who are willing to put in the extra effort.

So…how does a distributed team who all have day jobs create something like Yomo? Twice-weekly early morning video conference calls (Adobe Connect) help keep us on track as well as great tools such as Basecamp (project management), ConceptShare (online design collaboration), Bugzilla (bug tracking) and of course IM and email. Regardless of the tools used, however, it really comes down to the people involved. It takes a lot of commitment and at times stubbornness to fight for what you believe in. Then again, it helps to know when to stop fighting and listen. Everyone has ideas…listen and you’ll hear some good ones.
