Hi All
In Oakland, I knocked up a quick web application to help with two proposed
areas of effort - Local Mentors and Local Speakers.
On one side, there's a web application that people can use to find either
a local mentor (eg someone to go to the pub with who won't know about your
project, but will know about apache in general + any local/language things
to be aware of with involvement in apache), or someone local who's
willingg to talk about the ASF. Behind the scenes, ASFers just need to pop
the appropriate doap:Project tags in their foaf files, and it shows them.
The code for this is now in our svn (it was elsewhere before, as it was
written before the pmc was set up...). My plan is to have a chat with
Infra about hosting the dynamic bits under the main website (probably via
a proxy to another box), and put all the static bits (eg welcome
information, how to list yourself etc) under the main site itself. Does
that sound sensible to everyone?
If you're interested in having a play, it's a Django (python) web app.
Just check it out [1], plus the committers foaf files [2] and our sub
project doap files [3]. Copy local_settings.py.example to
local_settings.py and tell it where the checkouts are. Finally, do
./manage.py runserver and then http://localhost:8000/ will be it.
I intend to style the dynamic pages to look like the main site before
go-live, but anyone with 20 minutes to spare who's a dab hand with css is
most welcome to beat me to it! :)
Otherwise, I'll also aim to get some information on the local mentor
program from my barcamp notes in confluence site, so we've got something
as a starting point.
