Customising GitLab as a basis for modhub.io #96

Closed tomjrob closed 9 years ago

tomjrob commented 9 years ago

Hi all,

It has been suggested to me (thanks @ghiculescu) that people here might be interested in a talk on how we customised (are are continuing to customise) the GitLab open source project to form the basis for modhub.io (my brisbane based start-up).

What is ModHub?

The idea behind ModHub is basically to bring distributed software engineering workflow (inspired by git) to engineers (and financial modellers) who use spreadsheets. Currently, we've developed an excel add-in using c# which integrates with our web platform (the custom GitLab - built in RoR) and abstracts away the git commands.

What would I talk about?

As I've never done this before or attended the meetup, I guess I'd welcome some guidance. Firstly though, would people here be interested in a talk about this?

ghiculescu commented 9 years ago

Sounds like an interesting talk @tomjrob. Can you do it this month (Tues 24th)?

tomjrob commented 9 years ago

I sure can. How long do you normally want the talks to run for? And what kind of content is expected?

davekinkead commented 9 years ago

Sweet. You have about 20-30 mins to talk followed by Q&A.

As to content...what problem were you trying to solve & how did you solve it (or didn't). Tech or ruby content is a must but feel free to cover anything else you think is interesting like business/customer challenges.

davekinkead commented 9 years ago

All good for tomorrow @tomjrob?

tomjrob commented 9 years ago

Yep, yep. Should be fine. Will I need a slide deck, or is the go to just talk more conversationally?

davekinkead commented 9 years ago

Conversation is fine but a deck would be great - even if it's a readme in markdown we can turn it into some like this http://brisruby.org/intercom/

thanks for the talk @tomjrob
