<p>FAST is an initiative to bring together developers from various University of Waterloo Computing groups.</p>

<p>These small teams have generally provided internal application development for their individual departments, but as we move forward in the modern technilogical era we will work together to bring out the best that each dev team has to offer, and actively share with one another.

<p>Through this team we will provide the University of Waterloo even better support of our locally-developed academic tools, without sacrificing the agility afforded by our traditional local development techniques.</p>
