What is this project?

The OMS-project at its heart has the aim, as the name implies, to create an Online Membership System (OMS) system for the student organization AEGEE-Europe (including all of its bodies), replacing the system that is currently in use in favour to the platform called MyAEGEE. A secondary aim of the project is to succeed in this using an open source approach, allowing other (similar) organizations to benefit from the software outcomes from this project as well. A tertiary objective could be considered to be providing a way for contributors, mainly (technical) students from within AEGEE, to work together on an international large-scale project in order to grow their skills in the related areas.

It is a prime example of web engineering

While Web Engineering uses software engineering principles, it encompasses new approaches, methodologies, tools, techniques, and guidelines to meet the unique requirements of Web-based systems. As previously stated, development of Web-based systems is much more than traditional software development. There are subtle differences in the nature and lifecycle of Web-based and software systems, as well as the way in which they’re developed and maintained.

“Web development is a mixture between print publishing and software development, between marketing and computing, between internal communications and external relations, and between art and technology”

“Contrary to the perception of some professionals, Web Engineering is not a clone of software engineering, although both involve programming and software development”.

Multidisciplinary

See the people involved with the project

Building a large, complex Web-based system calls for knowledge and expertise from many different disciplines and requires a diverse team of people with expertise in different areas. Web engineering is multidisciplinary and encompasses contributions from diverse areas:

Systems analysis and design
Software engineering
Hypermedia/hypertext engineering
Requirements engineering
Human-computer interaction
User interface
Information engineering
Information indexing and retrieval
Testing
Modelling and simulation
Project management
Graphic design and presentation.

The project combines all these areas into one big project full of everything, full of different people with different skill sets and lots of freedom to explore your interests and find new ones. It is a fantastic learning experience and a perfect hands-on, practical, real-world project.

What is.... ?

Confluence is the online wiki we use to store, categorize and order our documents to create and maintain an understandable overview of our project, its design philosophies, and its goals. You are on it right now.

JIRA is the online issue tracker we use to set (small) goals, report bugs, suggest new features and much more! JIRA is more for the technical side of things, beware of this when browsing.

AEGEE is one of Europe’s biggest interdisciplinary student organisations, striving for a democratic, diverse and borderless Europe. As a non-governmental, politically independent, and non-profit organisation AEGEE is open to students and young people from all faculties and disciplines.
