Radiant CMS Sprint

Red Hat Headquarters (map)

Selected By: Nathaniel Talbott

A day-long hackfest to help finish some features for the 0.7 release of Radiant CMS. The official goals are?refactoring the admin controllers toward REST, continuing work on the new UI, adding blogging features, improving the extension registry, and writing more documentation.

THIS IS NOT A CONFERENCE! The focus is on hacking out a lot of code/design/documentation in a short amount of time. We encourage anyone who can contribute their code, web design, or writing skills to attend. If you’ll be coding, it would be good to have a working knowledge of Rails, RSpec, and Git — bonus points if you’ve worked on Radiant before, built extensions, or have experience with RESTful controller design and web-services. If you are interested in helping with the design, it would be good to have a working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image manipulation. If you want to do documentation, we expect you to be able to write clearly and use the Radiant wiki.

After the hackfest a group of us will probably go out to one of the nearby restaurants for some local food and drink.

    Trent, we can definitely do something along those lines.

    Please note, the "RESTful refactoring" goal was completed this past weekend. But we have plenty of other development tasks to be done, so bring your "A" game!

    Anyone who has a WiFi router to spare, please bring it! The more the better.

    I can bring a router. I just won an AirPort Express in a raffle at the last TMUG meeting.
