Wow! I want to publicly thank everybody who came out to the tutorial today. You guys had a lot of great questions, and stuck with us for two hours and forty five minutes. Just awesome. Thanks again!
Also, thanks to Luis and Matthew who helped out and kept me on track. Nice job, fellas.
We spoke with some folks in the audience who showed us interested modifications to Streamlined, and we encouraged them to submit them to us as patches. If they do it, we have some great new features to release soon.
One of the most important criticisms we received from a couple of people is that the blog here at streamlinedframework.org doesn’t mention the team behind Streamlined at all, which can give the impression that perhaps the framework is being written by some guy in a basement somewhere. So, to allay that, we’ve just added a link to our corporate website, but I’ll outline who we are here, as well.
Streamlined is managed by Relevance. We’re a consulting, training and development shop located in Chapel Hill, NC. Currently, the committers on Streamlined are:
- Stuart Halloway and Justin Gehtland, co-founders of Relevance
- Matthew Bass, developer of Teascript
- Luis de la Rosa, consultant, programmer, all-around good guy
- Glenn Vanderburg, luminary of programming languages, long-time speaker and suuuuuuper geeeeeenius
- Venkat Subramaniam, agile process guru, CS professor, and not Ramnivas
We’d love to add more. Come on by!
