We are doing stretch run before the spring break. All of us are busy with classes, exams and homework (and our life gets further interrupted by computer downtimes).
Despite all of these, students are making fantastic progress.
We had six talks this week (inclduing a guest talk by Dr. Jason Kuruzovich of Management and IT.)
1) Dr. Jason Kuruzovich on Foundry spoke about Foundry (originally developed at Utah) for peer mentoring and sharing ideas and spaces. This youtube link is worth listening to http://www.youtube.com/user/usparkfoundrytv He has a number od ideas. Many of these RCOS has been following - still we can learn something new and useful.
2) Rob Carr on Go Visualization using Android - Rob carr is wrking on two different projects (one on Ease plugin architecture with Nate and the other is on Go strategies and games). Rob has written a python program to recognize go board and mark the positions. Here are his talk slides
