Week 10 (11/6/2012) Fall 2012
The Fall semester is speeding along. RCOS students had participated so many activities this semester (RPI Medalists Day, Admissions Open House, RCOS Hackathon, UPE Open Source Festival, NYState Hackathon, UPE Programming Competition, Entrepreneur of the year poster presentation) - a near burnt out feeling. Projects are coming along.
This week we had four presentations:
1) Deon Robinson FreakAPI http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
Deon has been progressing along. His project identifies the images and makes a semantic tags. He is working on the back end as of now. He is planning to test with a large number of images.
2) Jorge Jiminez (Guest Speaker) Ithos Global
Jorge works at a company on Government regulation for food suppliers and his company uses Open Source Software. His talk was to inform/educate the students of potential uses of their projects and to recruit bright students for their company.

3) Colin Rice David Vorrick BitHopper http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
Colin and David briefly talked about their BitHopper project. David is working on the front end and Colin is working on the back end. Their project is coming along.
Ian talked about CSTools a helpful interactive guide for students to familiarize with programming, unix tools and other helpful hints. Ian is working on this project by himself. It is a noble project with an intention to help the students. He has made an initial dent in the project. He also talked about his summer project Big (an easy method to reinstall the system). He has completed most of it at least for some versions of linux That needs a bit more testing and extension to other OS.
It is yet another hectic week and I am barely keeping my head above water!
