Greetings!
Lance
We're slowly making progress with making Corvalligator a reality in
Corvallis and I wanted to just introduce some of you since some of you
don't know each other.
Bryan Stearns (@bryanstearns): PDX ruby guy that has offered to help
us code in his free time
Jillian Burrows (@jburrows) : Corvallis coder getting paid to work on
corvalligator for a special program
Sheri Dover (@sheri_dover): Corvallis Artistians Market lead
Lance Albertson (@ramereth) : Well, you all know me :)
I pasted the email I originally sent to Bryan months ago here [1]
detailing some of the important features we need to get this going
initially. I plan to get my hosting sorted out by the end of this
week/weekend so that we have something online to at least see. I'd
rather not publicly announce this until we've gotten most of the
bugs/etc worked out but I don't mind a trail run. It'd be nice to get
a logo or something created too.
Jillian: I recommend you subscribe to the calgator development mailing
list [2] and check the archives if you encounter any issues.
Additionally, you should look over the documentation they have online
[3] and if you can create a login to github [4] and create a fork of
the main calagator tree that will make pushing fixes to upstream a lot
easier. If you need help understanding github, just let me know but I
think the calagator project has more details on how to setup github.
Add me as a friend on github (my username is ramereth) that way I can
watch your commits easier and pull those changes into production
eventually.
I imagine they will have a code sprint in Portland in the next month
or so, we should try to make a trip up there when they do that. If you
have any more questions, please use this list as a primary means to
communicate updates/etc!
Cheers!

I'm very excited to be working with you guys on this project. Having a comprehensive calendar for Corvallis has been a cause of pain in Corvallis for as long as I've lived here. Like many others, I've always hoped to do something about it. It's an honor to work with the team that will once and for all create the solution.
I would like to host a gathering for us to meet and casually group out thoughts and energy together for this.
1.How would Monday July 27 or Tuesday July 28 work for everyone? Maybe in the evening? I'll even feed you.
2.Would you prefer to meet out at the BEC or at one of the beer and Blog haunts?
Cheers,
Sheri
