Week 8 (7/13/2012) Summer 2012
Thanks to Dr. Goldschmidt for holding the fort last week. RCOS projects are progressing along fine. Most of the projects are going to their original plans. Thanks to Asher Glick (mentor), RCOS will be having a Hackathon on (7/18/2012) to move the rest of the projects along.
This week we had four talks.
Ed's project is on building a lightweight window manager for X windows. This window manager will be specifically be useful for programmers. Ed has implemented a skeleton of that window manager and gave a demo of his project.
Alex and Ian talked about GlowUR -a flow chart making program. They are re-implementing in Javascript and in HTML 5 (they had originally implemented in Flash) They are making a slow but a steady progress.
Jeongmin is planning to apply his datacube browser to disease tracking ( using twitter feeds). He is making a very good progress and we hope to see the results.
Jorel and Tim have been making an excellent progress. Unfortunately they could not show their demo because of a mishap just minutes before their talk. They will post a link to their talk slides in their
blog.
As usual students asked many interesting questions and suggestions. I feel fortunate to be associated with RCOS.
