Programming Team

• The main contributors to the code base can be seen here:

  • https://github.com/tansaku/LocalSupport/contributors

• Although various others have contributed in ways that haven't yet involved committing code to the code base. A larger community has forked the project:

  • https://github.com/tansaku/LocalSupport/network/members

• The majority of the people involved are current students or alumni of the EdX Software as a Service online class provided by Dave Patterson and Armando Fox of UC Berkeley.

• In the face to face class at UC Berkeley students collaborate on projects with non-profit organizations. Here are some of the results of their work:

  • Customer interview: Nurse vacation scheduler for Children's Hospital Oakland
  • Nurse Vacation Scheduler (Children's Hospital Oakland)
  • Foster-a-Pet app (Berkeley East Bay Humane Society)

• In the Berkeley course the non-profit organizations were vetted by Dave, Armando and their staff for those where the organization had some technical need that might be met by Ruby on Rails, could spend time with the students and so forth.

• Unfortunately these projects have not yet made it into the online EdX class, so the the online students banded together to run their own unofficial "Agile Projects"
