Rails - May 2010 - SUMO, GSoC like project, to create sustainable software

Hi,
I am Jean-christophe Kermagoret from SIDE-Labs.

SIDE-Labs, founded by BlueXML, is an open source project which created a 
sustainable IDE, SIDE, based on MDA (Model Driven Architecture), to 
quickly develop sustainable software application. Moreover, thanks to 
the use of models, development can be achieved by domain specialist. 
 From a technological point of view, a generation process enables to 
build the corresponding application on available frameworks. Alfresco 
ECM is already available as a final technical target, and more 
frameworks should be available soon. I think it could be a good 
opportunity for RoR to provide its own implementation.

I know, if I want something, just "write the code" :-)

But I only have 2 hands. So, SIDE-Labs created the SUMO project, GSoC 
like, which stipends students to develop models and code. A SUMO project 
could be, for example, to develop this alternate generator. It could be 
interested for Django community to have access to Alfresco or other one. 
Moreover, all the available applications could be available in the 
future on the RoR platform. In fact, we are trying to build the next 
Babel Tower.

If you think you can be interested by such a project, have a look at 
http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php/SUMO:Home, read FAQ, browse 
projects'' list and create a page for your ideas as a mentor 
organization, or a student.

Feel free to ask for information on the forums and/or subscribe mailing 
lists.

Thanks for your time and your interest,

JC
