github repo

[John D'Orazio]

Is the github repo supposed to be a way of pooling some open source projects? I would be willing to pool some of my projects into the opensourcecatholic github repo if that can be done by forking perhaps. Until now I've been a lone programmer on my projects, but I would like to be able to open some projects to collaboration, perhaps the "opensourcecatholic" organization on github could be the way to go. Can we be added to the organization? My github profile is https://github.com/JohnRDOrazio .

We generally need some organization.

Lately Mike Kasberg (https://github.com/mkasberg) has been helping to clean up the repo for the site; it would be great if we could get a group of us to help add new and interesting projects and blog posts again. I just have kinda lost the appetite (at least for now) with all the things I've seen tearing apart much of the online Catholic community that I was part of in the earlier 2010s :(

I've been trying to get a network going, and Henrique Derosa (https://github.com/HenriqueDerosa) joined me on the idea. We started a slack channel "Catholic Devs" where we've been inviting people and sharing ideas:

https://join.slack.com/t/catholicdevs/shared_invite/zt-dz50teya-019q4Zake3JdmsWiTxRBBg

Collaboration is not always easy, I'm not sure what the situation was in the online Catholic community in the early 2010s... But I'm willing to help network and share ideas. I'm not a professional programmer but I've learned a few languages and have launched a few projects (https://www.bibleget.io, https://johnromanodorazio.com/LiturgicalCalendar/, https://seminaverbi.bibleget.io ). I have gotten some support for usage of Biblical texts from the USCCB and the Italian Episcopal Conference, and I've been in touch with those responsible for the Vatican website... I believe that in networking and collaborating only more good can come from Catholic Open Source projects. With patience and good will!

I saw for example an interesting idea on this group, someone wrote about using Elastic search I believe it was for searching Bible texts. I have a simple MySQL fulltext search functioning in the BibleGet addins, which is working fairly well, search is pretty fast, but I think Elastic search would add some great possiblities with stemming and all (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/stemming.html), if anyone has any experience with that it would be a great addition to the project

I'm seeing now that Mike Kasberg is behind the Strava app, kudos! I've used the app myself on a few occasions. Being a tour guide for pilgrimage groups, I've found it useful to trace certain itineraries using the app.

Hi all,

This is very timely. I'm a Catholic teacher who programs as a hobby. I've been working on https://cathnet.org/ which is a project to apply Natural Language Programming tools to the Catechism, which I have permission to host on the site. My focus has been an opensource Catholic faith formation website https://opencat.org/ for the last few years. I now have long service leave (started yesterday, and except for a week I don't go back till the end of Jan) and am starting to work on that website. It's built in Drupal 8 and I've created a framework to help build the site called pleasy. https://github.com/rjzaar/pleasy The idea of pleasy is to make it really easy for anyone to contribute to the code side of the site. The site itself is all opensource and all the content is opensource. One aim is for anyone to be able to use pleasy to recreate the whole site with a few lines of code. I'd be happy for any guidance or help. Please feel free to be blunt I'm interested in the goal and I'm not attached to anything. I just want to do the best I can for the Lord.

Probably more importantly, I was thinking of updating the cathnet.org site as a community portal for anyone faithful to the Church to share their projects. Or better still it would be great to see https://www.opensourcecatholic.com/ (OSC) become a community portal again. One new initiative that could help provide more personnel in this area is https://smartcatholics.com/ They seem to be open to lots of ideas. In terms of the technology powering a communuity portal version of OSC there is opensocial in the drupal sphere. But maybe there's a better FOSS community portal that could be used? I'm happy to put some work into it since it's one of the aims for my LSL. I think a OSC github is a great way to go and I'd be happy to put some projects there. Is there a nice front end website that plays well with github as a backend that could be used for OSC? I'm thinking of how the drupal.org site can have a project page: https://www.drupal.org/project/honeypot that is a nice front end for the repo https://git.drupalcode.org/project/honeypot. If there isn't a current easy solution, then we need to pool our wisdom to work out the best solution.  I'm open to all ideas. I'm also aware simple can be better.

God Bless

Hi all. My name is Burke Ingraffia.  By day I am a VueJS and Django front-end developer for a financial advising company in the Washington DC area.  I'm interested in helping on any project that aims to give glory to God.

My GitHub account is https://github.com/burkeingraffia . It's not filled with a lot of stuff as I mostly use it for my employer's repos.

I'm also a musician and very interested in the Web Audio API and how to create music within the DOM.  My songwriting can be found at https://burkeingraffia.com. 

Please let me know if I can help anyone with front-end-y stuff.
