Beer && Coder Mini-Profiles

[TheDahv]

What

A small profile on the Beer && Code site to represent my presence in the Beer && Code Seattle community

Why

Mapping email addresses to nicknames/handles to real names and faces can be hard. This could also be a good way to cultivate community among Seattle Beer && Coders and provide some means to figure out how to get a hold of each other. And, if you happen to think Beer && Code is cool and you like the idea of showing your association with the community, a B&&C profile could help with that.

How

A profile should be simple. We're not reinventing Facebook. It could contain

• A picture (maaaaybe)
• Communication info (email, phone, IRC nick, etc)
• Links to personal sites, blogs, GitHub profile, etc
• Projects you are working on (possibly solved by the GitHub link, assuming everybody on Earth uses GitHub)

How do you feel about Gravatar for profile pics?

GitHub API is pretty nice if it is desired to standardize on GitHub. Would be pretty easy to list projects from users and organizations.

• curl https://github.com/api/v2/json/organizations/dflydev/public_repositories
• curl https://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/show/simensen

We can also tie into specific projects if people want to just list specific projects as opposed to their entire set of things they've forked.
