RGSoC 2020

This project is part of Rails of Girls Summer of Code 2020. The offical page for this project is at the RGSoC Teams App.

Description

The "Go Working Map" started as a web form to aid the control of the desks at Fábrica do Futuro's Go Working. Then it evolved to a system where all inhabitants of Fábrica do Futuro could find information on each other's startup and business, effectively providing a virtual place as a means for exchanges.

Because the project wasn't meant for this purpose, the code - originally a simple collection of Flask-WTF html forms - needs refactoring. The current code base is not suited for the stakeholder's demands on the project.

Ideally the website should be able to include more information about Fábrica do Futuro's inhabitants. People should be able to update their own information and share it with others, pretty much like a regular social network. End users should be able to request additional functionality and the scope of the project shall be easily expanded on demand.

Since this is a Libre Software project, the team shall bear in mind that contributions to this project could and ideally would improve other co-workings worldwide. So that should be taken into account in the development process.

Fábrica do Futuro has infrastructure at Porto Alegre - Brasil to house the team working on the project so the team will be directly affected by this project, at least temporarily - but you're welcome to stay here after the SoC! ;) - and we would expect from the team much feedback on the system and that you participate on defining it's scope and suggest new functionalities, even if they will have to be implemented by others.

Team will have full access to the Fábrica do Futuro's Go Working as if they were inhabitants. This includes but is not limited to electrical and caffeine power, access to high speed wireless internet (and by July gigabit ethernet on all desks), bathrooms, showers, meditation room, call booths, meeting rooms, living spaces, a retro games emulator and happy smiles everywhere.

Tasks and features

Things that should be done:

• The project needs someone who can research and implement a proper ACL which will be responsible to enforce the business rules to display information to logged in users;
  
• Personal information of companies and individuals should be stored and used respecting the Brazilian pertinent legislation the LGPD. We have mentoring on that, you don't need to do legal research;
  
• We currently only have a web interface built on Flask itself. It would be nice to have an Android/iOS application that we could provide to people who prefer that interface, but that's not the main goal;
  
• Users requested some sort of job board so startups could advertise to each other (or maybe externally?) with what and how they need help. Perhaps you could help to make the very code that will help you find your next contractor or business partner ;)
  

Don't worry about taking care of all these tasks. You may freely select which ones you feel more comfortable working on. You may even propose other tasks and if they make sense, we can change the scope of the project accordingly.

Requirements

The programming language of the project is Python since it's already written using the Flask framework.

For the optional Android/iOS app, you are free to choose the technology used.

Tags

Python, Flask, LGPD, Jinja, Bootstrap, MySQL, SQLAlchemy
