MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

Assembla is a web-based version control and project management software as a service provider for enterprises. It was founded in 2005 and acquired by Idera, Inc. in 2018.[1][2] It offers Git, Perforce Helix Core and Apache Subversion repository management,[3] integrations with other collaboration tools such as Trello, Slack, GitHub and JIRA.[4] Assembla also offers integrations with customer's managed private clouds.

History

[edit]

The company was officially opened in 2005, and was headed by Andy Singleton, creator of PowerSteering Software.[5][6]

Initially, Assembla offered free on-demand tools such as Trac and Subversion hosting. However, starting from October 2008, Assembla implemented a pricing model for certain products.[7]

In 2012, Assembla partnered with Perforce Software to provide on-demand versions of Perforce’s Software Version Management tool, Helix Core. This integration includes team tools from Assembla, available for an additional fee.[8]

In 2013, Assembla released a set of tools related to Agile development and Continuous Delivery processes called "Renzoku."[9] These are now included as part of the core offering for the team and enterprise plans.[10]

In May 2016, Assembla was purchased by Venture Equity provider Scaleworks. The company is currently based in San Antonio, Texas.[1]

On Jan 18th 2018, Assembla acquired Cornerstone, a Subversion client for macOS.[2]

Acquisition by Idera, Inc.

[edit]

On November 1, 2018, Idera, Inc. announced its acquisition of Assembla to integrate its Developer Tools division. This acquisition expanded Idera's DevOps capabilities by integrating Assembla's secure source code management solutions with other tools in its portfolio, such as the ones provided by TestRail, Xray - Test Management, Embarcadero or Ranorex.

Products

[edit]
