We are approaching the half way point of the spring semester. With the spring break being next week, and IPad launching this Friday, our seminar was attended by the die-hards! We have a good group of attentive listeners. Continuing our last weeks trend, no laptops were opened during the talks.
We had six talks this week.
1) Deon Robinson - Android Gaming http://appmunki.com/andengineblog
2) Thomas Buttner - LaForge http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/laforge/
3) Brendan A, Andrew B - PLANner http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/planer/
4) Beth T and Bet W -ScoreBoard http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/scoreboard/
5) Nate Stedman-Ease http://git.gnome.org/browse/ease http://nate.xen.prgmr.com/
6) Ben Shippe - Jumpstart http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/jumpstart/
These are their first presentations - Considering that the projects are doing well. Since RCOS is going to go one notch up, we all have to push harder and accomplish greater things (such as pushing code, documentation, blogging etc). Our lead peer mentor is actively helping this efforts.
Deon has been coding examples to understand the Andengine , an open source gaming engine (using open GL) fr Androids. Deon has developed some expertise. He is doing more this semester.

5) Nate talked about development of Ease. Currently he is planning to port his sytem to python. Since Nate is also involved with Observatory, he is not able to develop much time to Ease.
