FLOSS Weekly 368
Bridge Designer Contest
Steve Ressler and Gene Ressler join us to discuss the Bridge Design Contest
Gene Ressler is the software guy for the Bridge Design Contest. That's full stack designer and developer plus system operating engineer. He has a couple of other, more limited open source offerings: Sketch, a processor for a small 3d modeling language that emits LaTeX for simple but beautiful diagrams and figures. Steve Ressler is a civil engineer with specialized expertise in structural analysis and design. Back in 1995, while serving as a CE faculty member at West Point, Steve developed the original concept for the Bridge Designer software and wrote the original source code for this stand-alone Windows application.
