Beginning of GM (Great Minds) Week

Week 10: (4/9/2010)

RCOS projects are going in a cruise control. Students are doing/completing their projects and updating blogs and codes.

We had four excellent talks. The students are organizing along with RPI-LUG (RPI linux Group) a hack festival on Saturday evening (4/10) to Sunday Morning (4/11). As usual, students are accomplishing great things - I should soon take time to list them in the Accomplishments section.



The four talks are by

1) Jonathan Rosenberg and Justin Lipton

2) Sean Austin, Richmund Fries, Diana Mazzola and Griffin Milsap

3) Robert Carr and Amy Wielizcka

4) Timothy McMullan and Tom Rozanski


Please look at the dashboard http://dashboard.rcos.cs.rpi.edu/groups/dashboard/1
to see the students' progress.

Jonathan and Justin have made a substantial progress with their medialist project. Their demo was impressive.

Sean, Diana, Griffin and Richmund's group have made fantastic strides with open source Android Visualization. Their touch-screen demo was impressive with fast display.

Rob and Amy's presentation software has been coming along. Rob wanted to show a demo but could not because of hardware issues - we hope to see that on 4/16.

Timothy and Tom's group on hiding text in a wave file have been amazing. Their demo perked the interests of many.

Hope all of these useful software find the laptops/desktops of interested users. We hope that and many willing users will share and contribute code.


Due date for RCOS summer (2010) URP projects is this Thursday (4/15/2010). Please submit your completed application forms to me or to Prof. Badri Roysam.


On May 7, 2010 (Friday) we will have poster presentation of RCOS projects.
