Week 12 - Final Day of the Final Presentations

Week 12: (8/13/2010)

One of the cool things for me to be associated with RCOS (http://rcos.rpi.edu ), is the helpful attitude of many people (students, fellow faculty members and staff members). As I was recovering from a bad case of cold, I could not attend our last meeting. Two outstanding people one student (Brian Michalski) and one faculty member (Dr. Robert Ingalls) came to my rescue. Both of them are superb in not only on technical things that they do, but also know how to manage and how to help in a gentle manner. I am extremely thankful to both of them.

I will be remiss if I do not acknowledge the excellent work of summer 2010 RCOS students. They rose to the challenge and did an outstanding work.

This week, we had talks by

1) Graylin Kim
2) Matthew O'Brien
3) Anthony Loven and Brittany Jason
4) Sean Austin, Diana Mazzola and Griffin Milsap
5) Jacob Katz

Jason Zallinger could not attend. His talk may be found in
Final talk (powerpoint with audio)

Joe Dougherty could not attend. He is making pitch for his system to various fire departments. He promises to be present during our Fall Poster presentation.

Brian Michalski has given a succinct summary of the talks in his blog. Thanks Brian.

Thanks to Rob Escriva for creating IRC for RCOS - That provided a fertile ground for speedy technical exchanges. Thanks to Eric Allen for keeping our dashboard alive and thriving from California!

Hoping to see many of you for the Fall RCOS projects! Keep coding and producing excellent open source software.
