What's inside west2-online

  1. Overview of Fu UU (formerly Fuzhou University Helper)

    Fu UU is a student-developed utility for Fuzhou University, launched in 2015 by the West2 Online Studio. It prioritizes simplicity and local data storage (data is not uploaded to the cloud). Both the client and server implementations are open-sourced under the west2-online organization.

  2. Understand west2-online organizational principles

    The west2-online organization operates on four core pillars to maintain a high-quality, agile, and technically advanced team:

    1. Equality and Flat Hierarchy: The organization rejects traditional 'presidium-member' structures in favor of a completely flat architecture. Every member is a decision-maker. Team operations are managed via a non-100% voting mechanism, and financial expenditures are subject to multi-party oversight. While specific modules have designated 'responsible persons,' their role is limited to signing and maintaining minimum operations; they do not hold unilateral decision-making power.
    2. Continuous Communication: To avoid project failure (analogous to the Tower of Babel), the team emphasizes frank, harmonious, and inclusive communication. It is required that all members participate in the communication process rather than relying on a single leader.
    3. Focus on Effective Action: The team prioritizes doing 'right and effective things' and starting them quickly. They avoid KPI-driven tasks and forced labor, focusing instead on releasing projects (documentation or engineering) that provide genuine improvement and industry recognition, combining theoretical study with practical application.
    4. Embracing Change: The organization actively pursues cutting-edge technical designs, architectural systems, and development tools, explicitly rejecting outdated technologies (e.g., legacy versions of JDK or Go).

  5. Find physical locations for West2

    West2 maintains several physical presence locations at Fuzhou University, although online communication is preferred. Available locations include:

    • Student Living Area District 3, Building 31, 2nd Floor Activity Room
    • Student Living Area District 3, Building 32, 5th Floor Activity Room
    • School of Computer and Big Data, Building 3, Room 206
    • National University Science and Technology Park, Building 7, Room 106

  6. Member focus area classification

    Members are categorized by their focus area (e.g., Go, Java, Frontend, AI, Unity, Product, Android, Art) based on the direction they focused on when becoming a formal member. If a member has multiple focus areas, the one with the highest priority is used for classification.

  8. Understanding academic year membership classification

    Membership years (e.g., '2023') include all students who successfully joined the studio during that academic year. This encompasses both students who joined in September after a full year of assessment and those who joined early during the year.

  9. Member list sorting and display rules

    The member list is sorted based on the availability of their online presence and alphabetical order. The priority for display is as follows:

    1. Members with both a GitHub ID and a blog are shown first.
    2. Members with only one of the two are shown next, prioritizing those with a GitHub ID over those with only a blog.
    3. Members with neither are sorted alphabetically by name.

    When comparing GitHub IDs or blogs for sorting, alphabetical (dictionary) order is used.
