About
what this is
Welcome to GetBPM.org, the BPM community's package hosting service. The purpose of this project is three-fold:
- Provide a better API for dealing with packages
- Create more transparent and accessible project pages
- Enable the community to improve and enhance the site
The project was started in August 2011 by Charles Jolley, and is now developed by Peter Wagenet.
BPM is currently maintained by Strobe.
Some insights into the technical aspects of the site: It's 100% Ruby. The main site is a Rails application, and the package serving is done through Sinatra. Packages are hosted on Amazon S3, and the time between publishing a new package and having it ready for installation is minimal. For more info, please check out the code, which is MIT licensed over at GitHub.
