About the Name
STRawberry crEEK bisects the Berkeley campus from east to west; at several points on campus a short detour to the creek provides a bucolic, peaceful environment for interludes of rest, contemplation, and the like.
On the other hand, software development at Berkeley has traditionally taken place in isolated computing organizations with little knowledge or technology transfer. This platform, then can also be seen as a a STovepie REengineering and Elimination Kit ;-).
What's on this site
In addition to a wealth of information about the core components of the Streek software platform, this site includes a collection of standards, guidelines, best practices, samples, cookbooks, and templates for the utilization of those technologies throughout the life cycle of a software project.
