Week 9 (7/15/2014) Summer 2014
Summer session is speeding along. We have only three more meetings left. Hope most of the projects have been progressing well. With the upcoming hackathon (sign up link http://goo.gl/ePkBDe ) this coming Saturday, I do hope that there will be greater progress with the projects.
We had six talks this week. The following groups presented their progress with their projects.
2) Theodore Tenedorio, Tommy Fang, Aman Zargapur - Pokemon RPI http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/pokemon-rpi/ (mentor Jim Boulter)
3) Courtney Lang, Brandon McLear, Kirk Smith - Kitchen Assistant http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/kitchen-assistant/ (mentor Aaron Gunderson)
4) Aaron Gunderson and John Yannou - Whiteboard http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/4xb/ (menotr Aaron Gunderson) 2nd Talk (great job)

6) Ravi Panse and Henry Choi - RPHub http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/rphub/ (mentor Andy Kakkaramadam) -
Ezra and Tahsin are progressing along with RPI Walk as they gave their second talk. Icons are up and the routing algorithm works and handicapped access information is also there. They are using Open Street Map now. (They are also investigating the use of Google Maps). They showed a nice demo.
Theodore and Tommy talked about PokemanRPI. They have adapted Pokeman to RPI campus setting and the dialog uses RPI jargon. They have done the game mechanics, created their own tile editor. Even though much remains, they plan to have a simplified working version by the end of the summer. They also showed a demo.
Courtney and Brandon talked about Kitchen Assistant. They use Django framework, sql and python for development. They are making good progress in their project. Showed a sdemo of the current version. They have implemented a preliminary registration and logging and a database schema. Their system will have a shopping list (units is a problem) recipes and recipe filtering. They have more work left to do - but they hope to have a version by the end of Summer.
Aaron and John gave their second talk on Whiteboard. John is concentrating on the rankings of which home works to be done and when so as to get the best possible GPA for the semester. Aaron is geeting the assignments and start tie working. This is their second talk. They have made great progress. They are currently not doing the section related work. Their talk slides are here http://slides.com/aarongunderson/whiteboard#/
Andy and Stephen talked about the room scheduler project (central place to serve as amap for RPI). They have collected various data and put them in a data base. (mongo db) They are yet to do the front end. Their talk slides can be found here http://prezi.com/1oqqxnmu8mla/roomscheduler/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy
Ravi and Henry talked about their project RPIHub. Their idea is to collect research projects from various faculty members so that searching for a URP is much simpler. They are doing it as a webservice. They have done preliminary implementation. They hope to complete their project before the end of summer.

As usual there were a lot of useful questions and suggestions from the students. That make the whole thing very pleasant and a learning experience. An afternoon well spent.
