The Rocket Hatch Creative Community Web app
Our Open source prototype project is now on Heroku
[RocketHatchers.us] (http://rockethatchers.us)
This open source project for creative communities is looking for project team members.
While this project in its present state is specific to the Huntsville Metropolitan area, the larger goal of this project is to provide template source code for communities of all kinds to share the Faces, Places, Ideas and Events that make each community special. To do that we need developers. We are specifically interested in attracting developers who would like to contribute in the following areas:
- Programming APIs so this project can be part of custom software solutions
- CSS abstraction for allowing designers to create their own design and interfaces
- Architects to help design modular components for building community Web Applications
The general philosophy, though not in much in evidence currently, is to build (and refactor towards) "simple functions" that work together to provide a lot of functionality - Watch this video! ["Simple Made Easy"] (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy)
This project is the brainchild of [Antonio Montoya] (http://antoniomontoya.com) and Tarra Anzalone of [Modern & Smart] (http://www.modernandsmart.com), and the initial graphic design was a creation by Tarra Anzalone, Amanda Blanton, and Lexa Kennen, all designers at Modern and Smart. Larry Mason has been doing full stack development. But mostly like all projects of this nature we stand on the shoulders of giants and have borrowed heavily from previous efforts specifically in:
- [Portland OR] (http://prtlnd.com/)
- [Nashville TN] (http://nshvll.org/)
- [Omaha NE] (http://omawho.com/)
