Mentor + Room + Project Automation

[Apexal]

If we have the list of projects, users, mentors, and rooms, we should be able to automate the formation of Small Groups to provide a first draft that can be edited. Manually doing this is very tedious and automating it could save a lot of time and energy and make it less error-prone. However, it really depends on having complete and valid data in the database.

Database requirements:

• room model with location and capacity
• mentor proposals
• small group model
• small group mentors many-to-many field
• small group projects field

Algorithm that creates a rough draft of Small Group assignments needs to take into account the following:

• mentor skillsets <> project tags
• mentors who are on projects (lead or otherwise)
• room capacities
• similar project tags
