We are a society associated with Bath University's Student Union and are focused on building an open source community in the University. We develop multiple projects to improve the student experience at Bath, as well as providing development services to other student initiatives.

All our projects are managed and hosted by us, through a mixture of static pages and our own on-premis infrastructure, donated by the Computer Science Department. This has allowed us to host more complex applications, requiring a backend, storage and university authentication for free.

Get Involved

A wide range of students are encouraged to join and take part. You do not need any programming ability, and you can take part as a stakeholder or designer to make sure the systems developed are right for you. Additionally, if any students finds issues with some software, they are free to submit any bug reports via the project repos or our WhatsApp.

Once you've joined our WhatsApp group through the SU page you can join in on conversations about future apps, features for existing apps or other design decisions. If you know a bit of coding you can also gain experience by exploring our GitLab organisation, where we track all issues and merge requests. Please note that you will have to log in with your university credentials to the GitLab organisation.

Please see our Wiki for general information about the systems we use and common development practices.

Projects

These are a few of our active projects, please join our WhatsApp to get involved! We also develop one-off web applications for specific events, such as Bath Hack and Witathon.

Future Project Ideas

We have many ideas for future projects, for the full list and development status see our planning board. Here are a few examples.

Other Computer Science SLIs

As we are apart of the Computer Science Department, we would like to highlight other societies within Computer Science students may be interested in joining.
