New Website Brainstorm & Planning Meeting for Urbanedibles.org When: Sunday July 12th, 3pm Where: Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave)
We have been envisioning a new website for a long while and it's time to make it happen. The current site is was built using Rails 3 years ago, but since then I have become a full-time Pythoneer and am leaning towards Django for the next urbanedibles.org We have lots of ideas for new features, including opening it up to all cities, searching for what's ripe now, submitting sources via SMS/Twitter, an API, iPhone app, etc. (Many at: http://wiki.urbanedibles.org/index.php?title=New_Feature_Ideas) This will be a very open meeting, but I would like to come out of it with some specific problems and tasks that need to be tackled. I think this could be a great community coding project that could follow in the foot steps of Calagator and their development process (http://code.google.com/p/calagator/w/list). Urban Edibles has gained a lot of momentum and international press over the last few years and I would love to see it fulfill the many requests we've had for expansion. If you are interested in collaborating but can't make it to the meeting, please send me an email. I have been the only C.S. focused person on the team thus far (others work on education, leading plant walks, publishing, etc.) There are needs for graphic design, interaction design, mapping/GIS, javascript, scaling, API design, social media integration, clustering...the list can be as long as we are willing to make it. Some dated info can be found on our recently revived wiki: http://wiki.urbanedibles.org Best, Michael Bunsen 503-928-4124 _______________________________________________ Portland mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/portland
