GroupCollect provides a platform that lets tour operators manage participants in group travel experiences—such as school organizations—to collect registration payments. Founder and CEO Corey Black saw an opportunity to grow the business into a stem-to-stern solution that would manage the entire process for group travel, from creating the original quote and collecting registration to making payments and executing tour operations. To achieve this goal, however, GroupCollect would need to build three new applications.

A People’s History of Tech is the first in a hoped-for series of projects overseen by The Tech We Want. It provides an online home for open source, collective storytelling focused on the history of the mobile phone. The site captures the full spectrum of the technology by enabling the general public to share significant moments in their own lives involving a mobile phone. Flagrant was enlisted by its frequent collaborator and partner, Fly Media Productions, to support the site’s development and technical build.

A lot of work, time, and — yes — money goes into building a website, but for small business owners, there are far too many benefits to ignore having an online presence. From driving your business’ success through searchability to curating and maintaining control over how the business is perceived by customers, it is nearly impossible to operate a successful enterprise without a website. Unfortunately for many small business owners, the necessary expenditure of the aforementioned resources is simply not practical. This is where Jute comes in.

Jute Pages, born in 2021, is a website building platform that hopes to alleviate the burden of creating a simple-yet-beautiful website for companies that require an online presence but lack the time, money, or skill-set required to create one on their own. Like any greenfield software product, a totally new software environment requires development from a clean slate and, therefore, getting it off the ground was no easy task. That’s why the Jute team called upon Flagrant to make their back-of-the-napkin idea a reality.

Ruby Central is a nonprofit organization that serves the Ruby programming language community. Ruby — and its popular web framework, Rails — are used by thousands of developers every day to build many of the most popular sites on earth.

Two major events per year form the backbone of their support for the community — RubyConf and RailsConf. These conferences have played a major role in furthering the dialogue around Ruby and Rails, as well as providing support for the existing members of the community while fostering an environment for new developers to find success in the industry.

Alongside Ruby Central staff and board members, many volunteers participate in making these events happen both on and offline. As a nonprofit with large numbers of volunteers, a top priority is respecting everyone’s time by assigning meaningful tasks that further the mission of the organization.
