Etsy does support rotations for engineers -- even our CEO does his share: https://twitter.com/chaddickerson/status/545313526626385920

This is what Trello organizations are designed for. An org is a collection of boards and a group of people, with permission control.
This is Fog Creek's org: https://trello.com/fogcreek
You'll just see our public boards, but we also have boards that are visible only to org members. Granting or restricting access to all of them is as simple as adding or removing a user. You can create and be a member of as many orgs as you want.

The team wrote a blog post describing their tech stack last year: http://blog.fogcreek.com/the-trello-tech-stack/
The biggest change since then is that Trello now runs on AWS, rather than colocated servers in NYC. But the software is the same.

Fog Creek Software, New York, NY (on-site)
INTERNS
We're looking for interns to join the Trello, Kiln, and FogBugz dev teams here at the Creek in summer 2013. Our internship is paid ($5000/month) and includes private housing and awesome NYC experiences. You'll be working on shipping code alongside Fog Creek's fulltime developers. You will almost certainly not be required to carry buckets of diesel fuel.
Learn more and apply at http://www.fogcreek.com/Jobs/SummerIntern.html

And we're back! All Fog Creek services are back on line. Our datacenter has enough fuel for several hours and is working on getting a delivery of more. We are hoping that Kiln, FogBugz, Trello, and all our services will remain up, though things are still a bit dicey.
The details are all here: http://status.fogcreek.com/2012/10/fog-creek-services-update...
Thanks everyone for your patience!

We've shut down all of our servers to protect data, except some of the outermost infrastructure and gateways. That 503 is coming from HAProxy, our load balancer -- it's unable to send your traffic to any of the (powered-down) servers.

Yes, we have multiple off-site backups (cloud as well as an offsite storage DC) for all customer data. All data is still safe in NYC -- we've just brought down service to prevent problems in case of an abrupt power failure.

We are beginning to bring down all Fog Creek services (FogBugz, Kiln, Trello, etc.) as our datacenter is shutting down.
fogcreekstatus.typepad.com and @fogcreekstatus on twitter will continue to have updates.
edit: All Fog Creek services have been shut down ahead of power failure. We'll update the status blog as we know more from our DC.

16 megapixels packed into a 1/2.3" sensor? Ouch. That's the smallest sensor size on this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sensor_sizes_overlaid_ins...
I hope DPReview does a review on this camera -- I suspect it's going to produce extremely poor photos.
