Featured Item: Oracle.mix
“Mix” is a Ruby on Rails application developed for Oracle that facilitates social networking between Oracle customers and developers. Oracle requires several new features to enhance the Mix user experience and to allow users to leverage their connections and group memberships in a functional manner. ENTP was contracted for an extensible period of 4 weeks to deliver the set of new features to bridge the gap between similar applications used by Oracle.
Featured Item: Client Z
redacted wanted to rewrite their redacted. ENTP were brought in and implemented redacted.
Featured Item: Client X
Transcribing the redacted from the client supplied redacted, working with a completely foreign redacted - these were only a few of the unique challenges we faced working with redacted to create their redacted. We implemented their redacted as a stateless service with full test suite to give redacted flexibility.

Rick Olson is one of the most prominent members of the Ruby on Rails community. In addition to being a Rails core-committer, Rick is the author of several of the most popular Rails plugins such as acts_as_authenticated, attachment_fu, acts_as_paranoid, as well as popular open source applications like the Beast forum and Mephisto blogging engine.
Matt has mostly been content to contribute to other people's open source projects. Thanks to the ease of github, however, he is beginning to scratch his own itches in pubic beginning with Hpreserve: a humane eval-safe template library that a designer can use without needing any interpretation software.
Justin is currently experimenting with writing OS X apps using Objective-C and RubyCocoa. One of his popular applications, GitNub, is a GUI for the git DSCM. He also has an archive of JavaScript code he's written over the years.
While Jeremy's open source efforts are fairly eclectic, they tend to center on documentation and web frameworks. He contributes extensively to the Rails documentation and continues to develop tools for developers to aid them with documentation. He has recently taken on an interest in researching and developing web frameworks, hopefully working towards implementation of better mechanisms within existing frameworks and new efforts.
Kyle learns best by example, and following that philosophy, tries to share his code as much as possible. His projects range from Wordpress themes (such as the highly popular Hemingway) to small hobby projects he uses to manage his workflow.

Beautifully Simple Issue Tracking
Lighthouse is used by teams big and small to collaborate and manage projects of all sizes. It is unique in that it allows you to open your projects up to the public. Whether you’re working on an Open Source project or running a public beta of your very own product, public projects allow you to collect valuable feedback from the people involved. Lighthouse was created to be simple to use, with nothing to install. It was born out of a real need, and is something we’ve been using for our own development for several months.
