2. Atlrug4 Web Site History
● In April 2013, I started merging atlrug2, atlrug3, and atlrug-
website repos into https://github.com/atlrug/atlrug4 .
● I wrote cucumber “touch” test suite with coverage. Added
TravisCI. Improved README file. Added Contributing section.
Added License file. Deployed to Heroku free plan.
● Worked with Patrick Van Stee to get web domain.
● Jennifer Mann added new Look-and-feel.
● Have 17 committers for 746 commits.
●
Recently Patrick upgraded Heroku to 1st
tier paid dyno plan.
● In the last month, I deleted most of the commented code.

6. Latest: Rails 5 Upgrade
● Minimum upgrade approach (7 files changed)
– Upgraded .rvmrc, README and 7 gems (2 betas, 5 edge versions)
in Gemfile file.
– Upgraded development (1 line) and test (2 lines changed; 1 line
added) config/environments files.
– Fixed spec/controllers post commands.
● EXAMPLE:
– From: post :create, provider: 'github'
– To: post :create, params: { provider: 'github' }
● Okay locally, but newest features catch me on TravisCI so
unrolled the changes.

7. Questions
