Description:
An assignment while employed at the UCLA Office of Information Technology. This "Research Collaborative Environment" allows college faculty and industry professionals to exchange ideas about and promote smart process manufacturing technologies. The site is built with the Plone content management system. Phase 1, launched in September 2010, is a basic brochure site with a roadmap for the processing industry and materials for the 2010 workshop. Phase 2, launched in June 2011, includes customizable user profiles, discussion and email tools, and a collaboration area where researchers can post work and share feedback. Heather was the lead developer on most of these features, which are created as add-on packages for Plone (using Python and Zope technologies).
