We had a group photo taken on Tuesday a well as the photo of the mentors (see at the bottom of thi blog). As you can see from the photo, the group has grown by leaps and bounds. Alo Jorel made sure that all the students had mentors and all the projects appear on the dashboard. Robert made sure that the remaining projects with no mentors have been taken care. The attendence during Tuesday wasrather strong (most students showed) - however the attendence during the Friday session was rather sparse (I do not know why).
On Tueday (9/16/2014) we had two talks:
1) Aaron Gunderson- Whiteboard http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
2) Jim Boulter, Josh Makinen, and Justin Etzine MeNext http://rcos.rpi.edu/
On Friday (9/19/2014) we had two more talks
1) Paul Revere, Emmett Hitz - Vest http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/
2) Gabe Perez (WebTech) - WebTech Projects and Flagship
The white board group has become a group of six. So they have split the work . Some are working on the back end, some are working on the mobile version and some are working on cheduling and the front end. Aaron alo showed a demo of his project/. This project looks quite promising. Their presentation elicited a lot of questions and suggestions.
Jim, Josh and Jutine talked about their project MeNext - video/song selection . They have implemented IPhone version and a web version (Android version is also on the works). They demoed a version of their system. MeNext is also a promiing project (they have scheduled to release it during November Hackathon at RPI). Their presentation also aroused a number of questions and suggestions.
On Friday we have two presentations.
Paul presnted his project on Vest (emmett was absent). They are planning to scrape friends of victins. They are testug the hypothesis that friends of victims are more probable victims (froma theory proposed by an Yale Psychologist). They are planing to construct a database and then construct a graph. They are planning to use Python and C++/ They are not planning to use Django as it is not a web-based systm.
Gabe talked about his project of Flagship project (and the changing of Concerto version 1 to Concerto version 2) -- Both of them are based on Ruby on Rails. He also talked about other WebTech Projects, myrpi, shuttle trackeer concerto and Rules and Elections website. Gabe gave a demo of all the systems. It was a very fine presentation..
All in all it was a week well worth spent listening to these talks and learning from them. Her e is a group photo of the mentors.
