Bridge Troll

This is a Rails app that helps RailsBridge workshop organizers plan their events. We also use it as a teaching tool and an open-source community testbed.

The feature set is currently pretty minimal - definitely pre-alpha. Eventually, we'd like to fill out the organizer feature set, as well as incorporate ways for organizers follow up with students and volunteers.

• The running app
• The staging server
• Continuous integration on travis-ci.org
• Pivotal Tracker project

Setting up for development

You'll need rvm. We're using Ruby 1.9.2, and there's an .rvmrc file which should help make sure you are using the right Ruby version.

Quickstart

git clone git@github.com:railsbridge/bridge_troll
cd bridge_troll
bundle install
rake db:create:all
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
rails s

Note: we're using sass, so if you need to change stylesheets, you can make them automatically re-compile if you keep this running in another terminal window:

sass --watch public/stylesheets/sass/ public/stylesheets/
