Jack,

Even after graduating from NC State, I've been volunteering regularly with a few others working on Dr. Geheringer's Expertiza project. It's a peer-review web app written in Ruby on Rails that is used at a handfull of universities. We open-sourced it on Github ( http://github.com/expertiza/expertiza ) to encourage open participation, both with reporting issues and getting developers to contribute. Switching to git has been great for integrating the contributions we get. We have a variety of people contributing to the project now, including volunteers who have since graduated, Dr. Gehringer and a few core developers, and contributors from his object oriented design class. In the past several months, we've made a lot of progress modernizing the project - getting it on a newer version of the Rails framework, automating deploys, automating acceptance testing (cucumber), and getting off subversion. We're focusing now on expanding our test coverage and refactoring a lot of old Rails 1.x code. We'd love to have others volunteer with the project. Let me know if you have any other questions you'd like me to expand on.

LUGers,

I've been asked to do a 30 minute presentation at an IEC conference
about Open Source happenings at NCSU.

I'd like to be able to talk about some of the larger projects as well as
the smaller projects.  So if you are interested in having the NCSU
project that you contribute to or that you think is cool mentioned,
please let me know.  A project name, URL, and one or two brief details
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack
