Scem is a complete application to manage events happening in a defined area. (for example a city or a region)
The home page of the application presents the list of the nexts events.
The main point is that events are managed by organisms. An organism can be a company or an association. They got a complete control and can publish an event at any time in any category.
The second point is that users can interact between each other and over the events and organisms.
This application has been designed prior to its main user, the non lucrative French association LeBounce (Loi 1901). LeBounce will be the first organization to use this application and provide a customize distribution for the city of Angers, France. Regarding to the fact that they constitute our main user, they command and give the direction of the software’s development.
However any external contribution is welcome. It could be issue report, writing documentation, suggesting improvements and so on.

This application is currently under development and is not considered stable.
Ergonomic, style and navigability improvements as well as intense tests session will start in October 2009.
We are in the hope to release a stable and usable application for mid October 2009.
This application has been written with Ruby On Rails. Ruby is a programming language and Rails its Web Framework.
The application tries to respect the DRY philosophy: Don’t Repeat Yourself. By so we do a lot of reutilization of code by using or designing modules.
Also, this app uses a database server called Mysql. To run this application you need a rail server.
The way we develop this software is driven by the open source project development methods. To be more precise, we apply an Agile method, close to Scrum, but adapted to our constraints. We do short iterations (2 to 3 weeks).
At the moment we held backlog and planing meeting in Angers. Daily meetings are more or less informal and are held between breaks at an Engineering School in Saint Barthélémy d’Anjou (close to Angers, France).
In the future, if any external contributor joins the project, we might change this by distributed meetings through this Internet.
