CATS is a new open source project that I have been working on since summer. I run an IT staffing shop in Minnetonka and needed an affordable system to manage my business. Couldn't find a decent commercial solution or an open source alternative, so I decided to write one.....:-) CATS is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) primarily used by recruiters and HR professionals to manage candidates/gigs etc. Its built on LAMP platform ( I must admit though that all development is in Linux, but we have hosted it on a FreeBSD box....don't ask, one of my developers is a big freebsd fan). Anyways, we are looking for volunteers for the project. Our current challenges are: - Mysql replication and high availability issues. (Advice on moving up to Mysql 5....any benefits on using stored procs?) - PHP coding (have a growing list of features) - Advanced Bash scripting - Graphic Designer (nice to have dhtml./css wizardry and a bit of AJAX wont hurt either) Because it is the first ever open source ATS system out there, we have received great response from recruiters from all over since announcing it on Jan 10. The project is not ready for prime time yet and we need help (its really a 3 legged 1 eyed dog at this point) If anyone is interested in joining our project, please send me an email at asim at catsone.com and tell us how you can help us. The project is hosted online so you can check it out on http://www.catsone.com (Demo available) Regards, -- Asim Baig CATS Dev Team Lead asim at catsone.com 952-417-0067
