Are you a geek or developer and interested in the inner-workings of deviantART or what it takes to maintain a website as large as this?
#dt (deviousTechnology) is the department at dA responsible for coding all the cool features & squashing all the un-cool bugs. On Tuesday, July 19th they'll be coming together in our #auditorium chatroom to answer some of your nagging technical questions.
So don't miss this opportunity to hang out with the geeky side of deviantART!
When?
This live featured chat will happen on Tuesday, July 19th, 2011, 1:30pm to 2:30pm PST. (Click here for your local time.)
Where?
The event will take place on our Chat Network in the #Auditorium chatroom.
New to the Chat Network?
In order to access our Chat Network you must have a deviantART account which you can sign up for FREE here. To join the featured chat simply login to deviantART and click the chatroom link above. You will also be able to find the #Auditorium Chatroom listed on the main chat page 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.
How will the Featured Chat work?
We may have a pre-selected geeky panel of deviants that will be the main source of questions (I'll know more soon), but there will be some opportunity for anyone to ask a question (see below). As always, the rest of the audience will be muted so that they may enjoy the event without disruption.
How do I ask a question?
If you want an opportunity to ask a question during the event, you will need to reply to this news article with one question you want to ask.
If your question is chosen as a qualifying question you will be contacted via note, and then during the event be placed in a queue of other qualifying deviants. During the event, you will then be called upon to ask your chosen question.
Note that the number of deviants chosen will entirely depend on the quality of questions and the time available during the chat. Please have your question prepared and ready to post when you are called upon to get as many questions in as we can.

Is it cuz' the chat is OVER or is it because I am BANNED?
Or it may be that they put the entry level position so you can't join it.
I'm not a MN-Admin so I really can't say just my best guesses
When I upload an image as a layer, only a certain portion of the image will show up on the canvas because the image I work with is too large to fit on it. In the future will you guys make a feature for DA Muro to adjust the canvas size?
The deviantArt Messaging System is prone to frequent unknown stops. Why hasn't it simply been taken offline and upgraded?
Bonus question: Do you plan to opensource some of your code? (eg. datex lib, or sth else)
Anyway — thanks for the good work youre doing, #dt!
Question: How does the creative team integrate with the actual coders? Like, are they the same people, or do some staff come up with ideas/designs and then other staff are their slaves and write down a whole bunch of code?
How does the #dt team work together with #ui?
