We’re pleased to announce that FogBugz On Site is now available. On Site is our new, self-hosted version of FogBugz. It contains all the latest functionality from our Cloud-hosted version, FogBugz On Demand, but it’s available on your own server.

Last year Fog Creek decided we wanted to have an off-site. Before I began planning, I scoured the internet for help – How do I do this? Where do I even begin? Let me tell you, there aren’t many answers out there. So after working my way through it and creating an awesome off-site for my team, I’m going to tell you exactly how I did it… down to the minute!

Finally! You’ve been asking for it for a long time, and we’ve long wanted to deliver it. The wait is now over – FogBugz integrates with Trello.

Brett Huff, VP Engineering here at Fog Creek, discusses how to make hard decisions. He explains a number of concepts and tools to help and then describes how to put them into real-life use with some examples taken from Fog Creek’s innovation efforts.

In dev.life, we chat with developers about their passion for programming: how they got into it, what they like to work on and how.

In this Tech Talk, Anders Thue Pedersen, founder and CEO at TimeBlock, explains a lightweight, Agile working method created with makers in mind.

Ordinarily, in dev.life, we chat with developers about their passion for programming: how they got into it, what they like to work on and how. But this is creek.life – a dev.life special interview, introducing David Miller, our VP Product. David is now one of our new 4-person management team who leads Fog Creek.

In this interview with Justin Searls, Co-Founder at Development Agency Test Double, we discuss issues in open source software and what we can do about them. Justin raises problems for both consumers and contributors – like managing hundreds of dependencies to security issues and burnt-out maintainers. We dive into the efforts being made to address these and what you can do too.

With our new Bug Event integration with GitHub, you can automatically create Bug Events in FogBugz cases when pushing commits to a GitHub repository. This means that it’s now easier to track your work on code in GitHub from within FogBugz.

In this interview with Ed Finkler, Lead Developer and Head of Developer Culture at Graph Story, we discuss soft skills that are important for developers. We dive into how things like humility and empathy impact your effectiveness as a developer and the quality of products you produce, as well as ways to ensure you’re always learning and how you can give back to the community.
