I am back from my hiatus. We have a lot of students working this summer (thanks to the efforts of Dr. Goldschmidt). In terms of Pizza order, it is almost doubled! We have able lead mentors Jorel and Robert and a team of mentors to help guide the process. We are in a pressure to get more funding and make this summer a success. Hope things will turn out to be good.
This week we had four presentations.
1) Robert Rouhani GIT tutorial http://slides.com/
2) Aaron Gunderson and John Yannou 4xB http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
3) Jake Weiss and Roland Judd MilkyWay@home http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
4) Alexander White Avi Weinstock Hayleigh SCM related to http://rcos.rpi.edu/
Robert gave a nice and detailed instructions on how to use Git. He has posted his slides to the group.
Aaron and John talked 4xB (or a whiteboard as against Blackboard) for a co-operative (crowd sourced) platform for sharing data on homeworks, tests, duedates and efforts needed. They are building using Django and python. They showed a demo of their mockup system.
Jake and Roland talked about their current work on Milkyway@home project. The two tasks they were handling are on workflow assignments and improving the threading library. Since this project has a well established code base, they are onto a good start. Jake and Roland gave the motivation (and the ultimate goal of n body simulation)behind their project.
Alexander, Avi and Hayleigh presented their SCM/MGI project. They are working on "A markov chain based grammatical checker which works by deciding likelihood of words occurring in certain contexts." They have started some preliminary implementation. Hope they post their slides on line (There was technical difficulty with their computer).
All the talks have been uploaded in RCOS youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/rcosrpi1
Please continue the good work and be role models for others to follow!
