Graduation Week and First Week of Summer 2010

Week 1 : (5/28/2010)

We had our meeting on Friday (5/28/2010) at noon in our usual place JEC 3117. Many students working on RCOS had taken a well earned break after the classes and exam. We have an enthusiastic bunch of students (some old timers and few new faces including 4 or so rising Sophomore students). It is also great to have them use the dashboard already. There are already 17 contributors. Hope we have a repeat performance (like Spring 21010) of the students' performance and achievements.

This week we had two speakers.
1) Mukkai S. Krishnamoorthy
2) Roberst Escriva.


I talked about forming community, sharing codes and knowledge. More importantly it is perfectly a valid thing to request for help. My slides can be found here.



As usual Rob's talk is articulate and gave lots of useful links. More improtantly he has created an IRC channel for rcos in freenode irc://irc.freenode.net
and there is channel called rcos. Please visit there and hang around for sharing information.

Rob will post his slides soon to the group.

Nate is mentoring a GSOC intern this summer (Summer 2010) on his past RCOS project.

On Saturday (5/29/2010), RPI had his graduation and many of the past RCOS alumni graduated. Even though I am sad that I will have less interaction with them, I am terribly happy for their past accomplishments and future contributions.

Congratulations to all seniors.
