Week 5 (6/24/2011) Summer 2011
Week 5 (6/24/2011) Summer 2011:
The summer solstice is behind us - that means the days will be becoming shorter.But RCOS students are going in full steam. The students's talks are on the youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/rcosrpi1 (Thanks to Riley Hamilton.)We have decided to watch one TED video a week after our regular talks to get further inspiration.
This week we had talks by
1) Dina Jacobsen on IdeaBank http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/ideabank/
2) Sean Austin on RCOSUIR http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/user-interface-research-app/
3) Peter Wakefield and Anthony Onwuasoanya on AutoScheduler
http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/autoscheduler/
Dina is progressing well according to her schedule. She has built up a data model and demo of her basic system (IdeaBank) is almost there. She is also making her extensible to store pictures, audio of the ideas. She is currently exploring the visualization of ideas (like what time ideas originated etc). Her talk slides may be found here.
Sean is researching on the user interfaces and what makes user interfaces tick. He plans to write a summary of user interface research and what are some of the ideas behind these research. Sean plans to make a weather prototype for Android using his user interface research. His talk slides may be found here.
Peter and Anthony talked about a firefox plugin to do auto-scheduling of tasks. They plan to use SQLite data base and makes the scheduler. Their motivation came from their own desire not to procrastinate work. They are well on towards their goal. Their talk slides may be found here.
These lectures are followed by us watching an inspirational TED video by Sal Khan

We are coasting along this semester. Three speakers seem to finish fast (experience so far) and Four speakers (experience last semester) take too long. If only I can get fractional speakers (such as 3.5 or 3.14159!), then we will be in good shape. Joking aside, we had three speakers thsi week. They were:
1) Geoffrey Wright - RPI Planner http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/rpi-planner/
2) Zach Rowe - Flagship Safety http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/flagship-safety/
3) Asher Glick and Gabe Malveaux Olympus http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/olympus/
Geoffrey is continuing a project (planner) led by Eric Allen '10. Eric had done an excellent job to map RPI students to plan out their schedule for their entire study. Geoffrey plan to extend this to include plan of study (requirements for all departments), CAPP report, dual major, minor, co-terminal. Doing this will be mind boggling . Only experts like late Dr. Ingalls (CS department) can do this with ease. A computer aided system that Geoffrey proposes will be awesome. Luckily he is sitting on the shoulders of a giant (like Eric Allen)! The implementation language is Java. Geoffrey's talk slides may be found here:
Zach has been continuing the work of Brian Michalski on Flagship Geo. Zach is interested in campus safety (emergency call location and status) and crime reports. Zach is planning to work on visualization of crimes over a period time. This is an ideal HFOSS project - helping the community. His project si written on Ruby on Rails.
Zach's talk slides may be found here:
Asher and Gabe are working on ease of sever side management. They are using plugin architecture. They are AJAX, CSS, HTML 5, JQuery to accomplish this. They even showed a small demo with a server running from their apartment. I am looking forward to seeing more of their project. Asher and Gabe's talk slides may be found here in this link (need flash support)

Week 3 (6/10/2011) - Summer 2011
Week 3 (6/10/2011) Summer 2011
Summer RCOS sessions are coming along smoothly - Students are slowly getting to speed with their projects. To see what the students are up to please chehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifck out our dashboard:
http://rcos.rpi.edu/ and http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/.
This weeks speakers include
1) Ben Shippee and Jeff Farrell - Observatory http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/observatory-/
2) Amy Wieliczka - Concert http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/concert/
3) Don Gillespie - Mobile Studio for Linux http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/mobile-studio-for-linux/
Ben and Jeff have made considerable progress (forgetting password, archiving old projects, tracking, timeline of contribution) with observatory. Right now, they are doing their contributions on a separate branch. They plan to merge when things are more stable. Their talk slides may be found here.
Next Amy talked out her work with GUI on Concert - web-based application for collaboratively organizing audio. She has a mock up of her user interface - She is doing most of her coding in Javascript. Her talk slides may be found here.
Finally Don talked about making mobile studio work under linux systems. Don has to write kernel level software (writing device drivers) and he has been up to the challenges they pose. Don is building on the existing (partially developed) software for this. His talk slides may be found here:
All in all the students presented their talks well. I wish there were more questions from students attending these talks (to make the talks lively and interesting) - I am sure that my wish will be granted in future!

Week 2 (6/3/2011) Summer 2011
We had a near perfect attendance last Friday - So we decided to take our group photo of our energetic summer rcos students. All of them are enthusiastic and energetic about open source efforts and have already started their projects. For the lack of Pizza during our last weeks meeting, the students had a special trehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifat of cake!
Riley Hamilton has taken over the reins of video taping the talks! Thanks Riley.
We had talks by three groups. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
1)Matt McMullen, Jorel Lalicki - Adaptive Math Game Library http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/adaptive-game-math-library/
2) Lee Sharma and Reilly Hamilton on nexus (Downtown Business Improvement (HFOSS project)) http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/community-based-project-management-system/ -
3) Kenley Cheung - Concerto Motion http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/concerto-motion/
All of them have blogged about their projects. Not only all these three projects were near the top 3 in our competitive Dashboard!
Matt and Jorel have started their implementation. They have broken their project into a number of submodules and slowly chiseling away their project. Both of them gave a wonderful presentation. Their talk slides may be found here.
Lee and Riley gave an excellent presentation. They are in the design of their system and they are talking with downtown team to chart out the design goals. They are planning to make their system more extendible. Lee and Riley did a good research on previous management systems for this task. Their talk slides may be found here:
Kenley presented Concerto Motion to make digital signage system (an earlier rcos/webtech project) more interactive using kinect. Kenley plans to make some modifications (different browser) to existing Concerto so that it is possible to test his kinect gesture software. Kenley also made a good research on existing open source gesture recognition software for kinect. Kenely's talk slides may be found here.
Please try to attend our talks on Fridays ta noon (in Lally 104) and learn and share. You will thoroughly enjoy this out of the world experience.
