About the it ecosystem of Omsk, enthusiasm, community and conferences
According to 2GIS Omsk 134 web Studio. We nem after seeing this figure, at first, stunned. After all, everybody knows there are 3-4 big companies, several design studios and several small and medium-sized outsourcing firms. All in all horizons ends.
But no, 134!
Well, naturally, they began to understand what kind of IT company are. As a result, overall pattern is superimposed on experienced or heard stories, and had something like a classification. We do not claim its validity in the last instance, but the situation she seems perfectly describes.
Not to overload you with words, draw a picture.
First luckily, a little bit, they quickly fill the minimum experience to get in groups and go to the second group.
Second — most. They can do two things essentially:
1) style and finished sites on WordPress, Joomla or Drupal.
2) use a free template or something to draw in Photoshop.
Some of this group will be trained, and can solve puzzles more difficult (goes to third group): for example, to write something from scratch in PHP, sometimes on Rails or Django. Although almost always it is not claimed, for local clients just need a site or just online store, and this is already ready engines.
Anyway, often these "companies" apart from the lack of managerial skills, and often monolingual fragments are a freelance programmer on oDesk or freelance.ru designer. Less sensible — for a freelance.ru a programmer or designer on oDesk. The best go on to the next levels of the pyramid or leave.
The company fourth line is heterogeneous. If they decided to become design studios, they hire good designers and create their own CMS to speed up development or use ready. If they are more interested in development, they begin to engage in more high-tech things. This can be Java, Python, Rails, developing for iOS or Android, sometimes the same PHP. Almost always, this high-tech — a consequence of the possession of a founder of new technologies and self-education. This obsession enough to train employees, and to drag on itself all management issues. The key difference is they almost never work on the local market, their customers are often from abroad.
In companies of this category have already learned:
1) to do qualitatively and in time
2) to sell their services for a good price
In the fifth line — large by the standards of the Omsk office — Luxoft-Omsk, IssArt, Thumbtack, Gehtsoft.
Each of them has all their own way. The history of their origin is also left out of this post. What they have in common:
— almost a hundred percent of customers are abroad.
— the organization has already overgrown bureaucracy with different degrees of branching.
Obviously, the higher the level, the more interesting challenges, more difficult technologies to master → as a consequence the work is more interesting and highly paid.
Another detail to the portrait. In Omsk there are no widely known grocery company, a la 2GIS Novosibirsk and Parallels or SKB Kontur from Yekaterinburg. These companies we would, incidentally, put on level six.
The most savvy students are beginning to do something in terms of learning the course on the third or fourth.
Others realize that their
The situation is compounded by the fact that school teachers and University teachers often do not know that in Omsk all is the job market in the it sector, and openly suggest the best guys to go out as soon as possible.
If things remain the same, as described, is it in Omsk zachys would be a natural way for several years. For the best shots, uperevshis, would have continued to go to the capital or further, many immediately after school.
But not so bad, Lord! Enthusiasts who are becoming more and more the situation starts to change for the better. What is already happening:
1. Companies began to understand that the staff have to teach ourselves, and it is necessary to invest. They organize special courses in universities and internships for students and graduates to its own employees. For several years conducted courses on modern technologies in software development in the Omsk state University, Omsk state technical University, SibADI. Many companies are willing to take students as interns, paying them a salary.
2. Some enthusiasts gather in groups and create a community like the GDG-Omsk, Omsk-LUG, Omsk-MUG, Omsk-JS, hold hackathons, workshops and mini-conferences.
3. In Omsk there were several years the conference RuPyRu, which is then transformed into a MarginCon. Unfortunately, it ceased to exist in connection with the departure of the organizer in the United States.
However, these activities still are very local in nature, and the vast majority (especially the first three levels of the pyramid) they simply do not know.
Of course, we began to study in Omsk web Studio. We took over the organization first big IT conference in Omsk and decided to see who her potential participants. It's interesting that the idea of doing a big conference in Omsk almost simultaneously came up with two more people, which shows its relevance.
But suddenly we were lucky to be pioneers.
We've been in so many conferences and trainings in Novosibirsk (CodeFest, ProfitConf, AgileCamp), Moscow (DevConf, YAC, AgileDays, etc.), Yekaterinburg (DumpIt, EkbPy), Samara (404fest) and Peter (AgileDays). We have no idea how else we could have so much to broaden your horizons and meet so many interesting people. Look at the pictures with 404fest and AgileCamp, for example, to little to feel the atmosphere.

And we wanted to bring all this to Omsk. We consider abnormal that such events are distributed across the country so that we always have somewhere to go or to fly. And then quite naturally we asked ourselves the question: "what are we doing nothing? You just have to go and make the most of it-conference in Omsk! And let Boromir utrus :-)"
P. S. the Conference HappyDev was held in Omsk in September 2012.

writes (evtuhovich) about the conference:
Although changes in the IT world do not occur immediately but rather a few years to keep up with technological train. The easiest and fastest way to learn what's new, what trends and what do they think the colleague is to attend the relevant conference. One or two days that you fully devote to the acquisition of new information, usually give much more than reading blogs. Moreover, it is impossible to know something about a certain approach or tool, the existence of which you do not know. In my opinion, conferences are the easiest way to stay "afloat".
And we wanted to bring all this to Omsk. We consider abnormal that such events are distributed across the country so that we always have somewhere to go or to fly. And then quite naturally we asked ourselves the question: "what are we doing nothing? You just have to go and make the most of it-conference in Omsk! And let Boromir utrus :-)"
