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!
