RailsBridge Volunteer Opportunities

Coding things:

• BridgeTroll is our workshop and volunteer event registration system. Our fun open source event management software project is chugging along, and we could use help with coding, documentation, bug testing, and UX! See the bridge_troll github repo for more info
• RailsBridge website: https://github.com/railsbridge/railsbridge_dot_org We have a Tracker backlog of lots of things that would make the RailsBridge web presence better: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/710609. Some of them are easy, some are harder, any would be a huge help.

Communication things:

• Blogging. Please write a guest blog post. Write about your experience as a student, TA, teacher or organizer. Interview someone else about their experience. Share tips for leveling up!
• We always need help improving our workshop organizing and code contributor documentation. Please edit errors you find or add pages to improve current materials.
• It would be fantastic to have a topic/skills roadmap for the RoR ecosystem (and the Railsbridge curricula in particular). Ping the mailing list if you’re interested in working on that!

Curriculum things:

• There are JavaScript, Git, and iOS curricula in the works. Want to help with those, or write a new one? Join the workshop Google group and introduce yourself!
• Some folks have discussed merging the Boston RailsBridge repo with the main RailsBridge repo. If you’d like to help with that, ping the Google group.
• We need to rename our various curricula, because “Intro Rails” and “Intermediate Rails” gets really confusing when you have class levels that include the word Intermediate.
• Add more exercises to the Ruby curriculum! [Inspiration here](Ruby Exercise Links)!

Curriculum Communications things:

• We don't have good feedback loops for students or people who don't know how to make pull requests. We need to make a way for those people to make suggestions for the curriculum.
