With so many of our own employees and their families impacted by the recent wave of Covid cases and deaths in India, mPowered, Meltwater’s employee-led diversity and inclusion group decided to take matters into their own hands and created a micro-donation site to raise money to specifically address the oxygen shortage in India.

Our very own Tim Furche, Director of Data Science at Meltwater, was interviewed by swordandthescript.com. They discussed topics such as the relationship between NLP and artificial intelligence (AI), the value of NLP to PR, as well as the enhancements that Meltwater has recently made to our NLP.

Simone Sciarrati and Jeff Campbell from Meltwater joined the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast to discuss how the way we organize teams can impact the effectiveness of an organization.

In this episode, Jeff (long time contributor to the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast) and Simone (Engineering Team Lead at Meltwater) share the journey of a team, how it changed, and how that team structure change affected not only the team itself but also the organization around them.

Drone is a powerful open source continuous integration tool which we have been running as an internal service to Meltwater’s engineers. During the past two years we have seen the service adopted by the majority of development teams, to where we currently run over 1,200 pipelines per day on average.

In this post, our Foundation team shares some of the features that have made Drone such an important tool in the daily workflows of our engineers.

For three days in June, 238 people from Meltwater Product and Engineering organized and participated in our first remote unconference. The event featured 118 sessions focused on sharing knowledge, training, and problem solving. The event received an overwhelmingly positive response from the people that attended.

In this blog post we take a look at how we facilitated this event, which tools we used, and why we have already started planning our next one!
