The collective blog of the inhabitants of Silicon Valley and Hackercast

For a long time, we are a group of enthusiasts blogging the American Business Association of Russian-speaking professionals (AmBAR) on Habré. A significant number of high-quality interviews, reports, articles and translations were published. During this time we have an excellent team, whose members (mainly entrepreneurs and employees of IT companies) also organize events (such as, for example, the SVOD conference ) and other useful activities that in one way or another help unite and develop the Russian-speaking community in Silicon Valley (after all, there are also Indian, Chinese, German and even Scandinavian communities).

Guided by the principles of crowdsourcing, we want to attract as many interesting people as possible, and today we are announcing a new RusValley resource in the format of a collective blog for the inhabitants of the Valley and “sympathizers”, which will also contain information about various communities, events, tips, analytics and much more . Join now. Selected posts (not everything in order not to litter Habr with irrelevant posts) with RusValley will also be published in our blog on Habrahabr.

RusValley is a community blog community created by enthusiasts and entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley and the SFBA . We want this resource to become a kind of club of interesting people with similar ideas, a center for communication, exchange of experience and knowledge, where anyone can contribute.

Want to join the community? See the relevant section on the site. RusValley is made in the Tumblr collective blog format - by registering there, you can write your publications directly to RusValley, receiving some PR for your blog, website, business, etc., as well as attracting people with similar interests. You can also send articles without registering with Tumblr, using the “Send a post” section.

Over time, new sections will be added, the subject of the resource will be expanded. Despite the fact that RusValley focuses on IT business, the subject of the resource will not be limited to this.



One of the main features of the resource (in addition to crowdsourcing) will be the availability of its podcast - RusValley Hackercast . Hackercast is our podcast, where we discuss events related to Silicon Valley, and we also invite famous and not so much Silicon residents to visit. By the way, in Silicon Valley, the word “hacker” is applicable to anyone, be it a programmer or an entrepreneur, who has a non-standard approach to problems and non-standard thinking.

In the pilot issue, the presenters discuss the news of the IT industry, as well as:
Why did not Silicon Valley speak, but Silicon Valley?
Heartbleed - OpenSSL protocol vulnerability - why and where you need to change passwords.
Candolisa Rice on Dropbox Board of Directors.
The game "2048".

Listen to the pilot issue here . In the future, issues will be published regularly and narrate what is happening in the IT industry, what startups appear, and so on. We will also invite to our program renowned Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, who have already created successful businesses.

Since everything in the trial run mode and many things are far from ideal, criticism, professional advice, questions, suggestions and suggestions are welcome. By the way, we will be happy to meet in person at the June Silicon Valley Open Doors conference in Silicon Valley and other events of the American Business Association of Russian-speaking professionals .
