MakerCafe on GitHub

03 Oct 2010

It's been nearly two months since I've had the chance to work on MakerCafe and I'm pleased to finally get back to my favorite project.  When I last worked on code for the project I thought I'd brought it to a critical point where I could release the code and start doing some of my work more openly.  Then my attention was drawn away to some more immediate projects and I never got the chance to do what I'd intended, release the code. Well I'm back on track now and today I took the plunge and put my code out there on GitHub.  You can see it if you'd like at http://github.com/chrisgilmerproj/MakerCafe.  I'd intended to submit my code in the form of a python package, but I only got partway to that goal today.  I've got to finish attaching the appropriate license information and to add some management commands for the buildout, but I can get that done later this week. My next goal following the packaging of MakerCafe is to put up a real website with documentation and examples for others to see and use.  I currently host a working copy of a MakerCafe website at http://www.makercafe.com for people to see.  I intend to move that over to http://www.makercafe.org and to use the .com address as a platform for hosting makercafe sites for the public.  That's probably a far reaching goal, but I see myself getting there in a couple months. All-in-all I'm pretty pleased.  The transition from my personal svn repository to git hasn't been hard at all.  And I look forward to inviting other developers to help out on my project.
