Hey AJUGers how about working on a cool open source project? inBloom www.inbloom.org is an independent nonprofit organization that provides efficient and cost-effective means for school districts to give teachers the information and tools necessary to strengthen their connection with each student. *The Project* We have built a disruptive middleware platform for education using most of the Spring stack (on JEE 6 right now but we will be on JEE 7 in two weeks),REST, ActiveMQ, MongoDB, Maven and a bunch of Apache technologies. All deployed on AWS. This technology enables widely varied educational tools to work together so that teachers can more easily tailor education to the needs, skill level and learning pace of each individual student. It can also engage parents more deeply in their children's learning, and save teachers time and schools money. In addition, inBloom offers a substantial security upgrade to the common resources being used, including paper records or disconnected and antiquated databases with few security features. A good use case can be seen in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neS3Lylfp8o#t=0 *How can you help?* This is an open source project and we are looking for contributions to our core platform, documentation or a good old critique of the dev site for ease of use and relevance. Below are some important links * https://dev.inbloom.org/join-open-source-project - developer site with links to all code, content and documentation * https://inbloom.org/for-developers/sandbox - to sign up for a developer account * https://github.com/inbloom - source tree * https://github.com/inbloom/secure-data-service - the heart of the platform * https://github.com/inbloom/ldap_in_memory - used for local development Why not get involved and contribute to a technology that is going to make a difference in the world of education. Here is our Pubic Backlog on JIRA https://support.inbloom.org/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa#10002 Happy to discuss this with you so please reach out to me cheers Vincent Mayers Open Source Community Manager inBloom _______________________________________________ ajug-members mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ajug.org/mailman/listinfo/ajug-members
