Pronetos Professor's Network

Pronetos founders Chris Blanchard and Wyatt Werner came to OpenSourcery with the idea of giving academics a network that went beyond mere socializing. They wanted the ability for members to share and review academic papers. Pronetos makes it easy for scholars to stay connected with their colleagues, wherever they may be. Pronetos is a place for scholars to network, and build and share ideas with the greatest minds in their field.

Pronetos is also a content repository that allows readers and authors to interact and build new ideas. Scholars connect as they would at a conference, except this conference is attended by scholars from across the globe. They make interdisciplinary contacts. Exchange ideas. Collaborate. Gain exposure for their research. Stay current on trends in your field. In short, it is THE professor's network.

OpenSourcery built custom features for Pronetos.com with Ruby on Rails, an open source framework designed for rapid web development.
