<a href="http://concerto-signage.com">Concerto</a> is an open source digital signage network that is taking the RPI advertising scene by storm. With over 1,000 users over its 14 month life at RPI, Concerto had made the process of sharing graphical and text-based announcements, notices, and alerts on flat panel television screens across campus easy, simple, and fun. Concerto employs innovative, creative methods that differentiate it from most other digital signage software in the world.  Designed to get everyone involved in community-wide communication, Concerto groups digital messages into feeds, content categories that are based on context.  Moderation is handled not by a single group of moderators, but many.  And each Concerto display - whether a physical flat panel television or a virtual screensaver on a laptop - can look completely different, pull a very different mix of feeds that is most applicable to the person or people looking at it, and receive notifications that are based on location and audience.  Concerto was implemented in PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and jQuery Javascript by a completely volunteer team.  The next step in Summer 2009 is to jumpstart the development community through <a href="http://concerto-signage.com">Concerto-Signage.com</a>, a website at the core of the design efforts, support resources, and greater vision of the open source project.  For now, until that site launches, the code is distributed freely under the GNU Public License (v2.0).

For the first time since joining the rest of the World Wide Web in 1996, the Rensselaer Union received a brand new, state-of-the-art website.  The new Union website acts as a front door for the Union community, providing a dynamic window into current events via the Concerto API and plenty of links and information about building services and the many student organizations affiliated with the Union.

The Web Tech Group has created some rather impressive looking sites and applications over the years.  Now, in an effort to ensure that these great designs live on, we're releasing all of the markup, graphics, and stylesheets behind them! New layout sets will be added periodically and are organized by project.  We'll start with some of our more recent designs, such as the look and feel for this website, and pick off some "low hanging fruit."  Then we'll gradually move back in history to pull out some of our older gems.

This new Web Tech Group website sprang up at the beginning of Summer 2009.  It was designed by Brian Zaik, with Rails support from other members of the team.  The whole purpose of the new site and how it works is to present the Web Tech Group, its resident nerds, and its colorful assortment of projects to the world.  The WTG site is primarily coded in Ruby on Rails and running a MySQL database, with special effects done by jQuery and plugins.  The major exception is the Offive Blog, which is implemented in a heavily tricked out version of Wordpress.  But the two parts of the site are well integrated in look and feel, and everything uses RPI's Central Authentication Service (CAS) for login.  You can thank Mike DiTore for that one.
