Kathi Fletcher | Kathi's Shuttleworth Fellowship is supporting this work and she manages the project | Marvin Reimer | Marvin wrote a Google Docs to CNXML converter as part of Google Summer of Code and now is the lead developer of the Connexions Importer. |
Daniel Williamson | Daniel leads the test, documentation, and user training team, in addition to his day job managing research projects and Connexions projects at Rice University. | Ryan Stickney | Ryan does extensive testing of all aspects of the OERPub API |
Max Starkenburg | Max is a visual designer working on designs and mockups for the importer. He has a new set for the importer that allows editing existing modules that have at least one version published. | Sebastian Thomas | Sebastian is a graduate student in Human Computer Interaction studies and did initial designs for the importer and user testing |
Max Grossman | Max is a Rice senior that joined the project in January 2012. He started by fixing bugs and is now working on a testing framework for each of the document conversion pipelines. | Gbenga Badipe | Gbenga is a Rice University student who also started in January by fixing outstanding bugs. He is now enhancing the word/open office converter so that it can handle multiple conversions at once, efficiently. |
Carl Scheffler | Carl wrote the first client that used OERPub and is now busy at work with Siyavula changing education in South Africa | Johan Beyers | Johan developed the build system that we are using, helped with development of the first version of the uploader and often helps orient new developers. |
Roché Compaan | Roché's company [www.upfrontsystems.co.za Upfront Systems] is based in Stellenbosch, South Africa. His team implemented the OERPub service in Connexions and is helping with the OERPub client importer. | Rijk Stofberg | Rijk works for [www.upfrontsystems.co.za Upfront Systems] and implemented the current user interface for us (in a week!) |
Ying Jin | Ying joined us for the Connexions 2012 sprints and contributed code on the Google Docs CSS import fixes and better failure handling. She has experience with DSpace, Fedora and EPrints so we are hoping to lure her into adding more repositories to the list of places to publish from the importer. | JP Slavinsky | JP also joined in the Connexions 2012 sprints and contributed code so that Google Docs can be converted by URL |
Chuck Bearden | Chuck is an XML guru and former Connexions employee who still contributes at sprints and occasionally on special projects. He did some sprint day XSLT fixes to allow authors to include fancier semantic features even while using Word/OpenOffice/GoogleDocs. (They were breaking the importer before the sprint). He also did some work creating unit tests. | Manpreet Kaur | Manpreet is a User Experience expert and former Connexions UI Manager. She helped out at the sprint with a new design for advanced features (coming soon) and with a more usable workflow for creating new versions of modules. |
| Your name here | Join us! | David Lippman | David is faculty at Pierce College and developer of Internet Math Assessment System. He came down to Houston to talk about assessment systems and spent a day sprinting with us on how to edit structured documents. He worked on TinyMCE with Roché and experimented with plugins to allow element extensions to create simple tools for building CNXML/HTML5 semantic markup in TinyMCE. They managed to get an exercise plugin working, and he later added a “section” tag plugin. |
