Considering that Treeleaf exists entirely online, you would think our Tech Team would be huge, with many people dividing all the technical chores of keeping us running smoothly.
But alas, our team is really just a trio who keep us plugging along!
Sekishi and Seimyo are the guys backstage keeping the lights on, water running, doors open and invaders at bay.
Seimyo joined Treeleaf in 2012, and quickly became integral to Treeleaf’s development. Seimyo lent his expertise in vBulletin to help Treeleaf move from PHPBB to our current platform, and he held up the zendo walls for several years. Including taking care of outages, hacks, updates and all the normal things that come along with software management. Not to mention he was always available to help members with technical concerns, or answer questions as to how to find something.
Sekishi joined Treeleaf in 2013, within a couple years Seimyo and Sekishi were working hand-in-hand keeping the Treeleaf forum rolling along. As Sekishi puts it, he found his brother from another mother in Seimyo.
The team has continued over the years to keep us up-to-date as best as possible. They moved us to a newer server in 2016, which required daily testing for weeks leading up to the move. Annually they close the forum during Rohatsu and then reopen it; which isn’t a small task since we want to leave one thread open for everyone to post in.
In 2017, Sekishi set out to develop what has become Treeleaf Now! A space which takes the guesswork out of finding where to join sits, the calendar and links to recent zazenkais.
You might not see them often posting in the front of house, but that’s only because they are down in the basement checking the plumbing, repairing the cracked walls and taking care of all the things that keep the forum running.
Another piece of the Treeleaf technical pie is our wonderful home page, the first gate you probably walked through when coming to Treeleaf. This website is maintained by Kyonin, who created the layout, takes care of redesigns, and updates the software. It was originally set-up in 2011 and has been the face of Treeleaf for the last decade. Kyonin also is responsible for the Treeleaf Logo which debuted in September of 2011.
Deep bows to these guys for keeping us humming along.
