Week 4: Student Presentations

Week 4: (6/18/2010)

We are continuing with the (first) presentations by students. This week, we had less number of students attending the meeting this week (Hope this is a minor anomaly!)
We had talks by

1) Jason Zallinger
2) Sean Austin, Diana Mazzola and Griffin Milsap
3) Ben Shippee
4) Stephen Trombelli and James McMillan
5) Ryan Dignard

Jason talked about his research agenda to get a narrative story from gmail archives. The preliminary implementations are done and Jason is in the process of collecting data and writing research paper.

Sean, Diana and Griffin are continuing their work android visualization with open GL. They have a schedule to include Shaders and demo to show the power of their open source visualization for android.

Ben talked about his open Math game - a game developed for educational purposes - Ben and Ryan have started their core implementation (at least text based) and are on track for doing a release of their game toward beginning of August.

Stephen and James are working on HFOSS project on Sahana. They are working from a large code base - and they are in touch with the developer from across the world. They are developing some features for the python version of Sahana (Sahana Eden) - They have picked up momentum.

Ryan is working on Donor Data Base in PHP. He has a schedule for the rest of the summer.

Please check out our dashboard and blog aggregates for details.

I am hoping most of these projects will be successful making every one happy.
