"We made too many wrong mistakes!" was a quote from Yogi Bera - Looks like it is applicable to me. (from the manner I have to answer various questions regarding what I have been doing). We are going on a stretch run with half of the semester is over. This week is the beginning of second round of talks. We had four talks this week.
1) Ben Boeckel, Joe Werther and Rob Escriva
2) John McMaster
3) Android group (Zachary Alberico, Brendan Ashby,Baran Bagcilar,Matthew Gerrior, Lindsey Kennard, Maria Montenegro, Zhenzheng Zhou)
4) Brain Zaik (Web tech Group)
All the groups are updating their blog and code base in Dashboard.
Ben, Joe and Rob's work on CHASM has been going strong - they have their own dash board and build and unit tests. That group says they lost time in getting their unit tests in order - To me, they seem to be doing great. I have to look at their code and dashboard and educate myself - learn a few tricks and tips.
John continues to be our embedded system expert. He has refined his goal and his plan to make a universal decompiler for static library seems plausible (given the expertise of John). John has also taken some time to deal with various copy right and licencing issues.
Android group learned a lot of new things this semester - git, java, android simulator. Since they have a large group, they have added communication overhead. They have more modest goals now - Their presentation provoked anumber of questions and helpful suggestions.
Brian gave his experiences with open source software in a historical and philosophical perspective. He also provided a number of helpful suggestions about how to promote open source software. (Brian and the web tech group has been very successful with designing, developing and promoting Concerto, RPITV streaming media and Flagship).
UPE, ACM and RCOS is running a programming competition this Saturday (3/27/2010). Rob, Ryan, Ben and Evan are some of the leaders with a a lot of volunteers helping them in this excellent undertaking.
