Week 2: Weekly Wrap-up

It is now the end of the second week. I’m tired of having to constantly deal with these technical problems. They are seriously becoming a problem. Hopefully I’ve seen the end of them or else I’ll be nothing but dead weight to team Lemonade Stand. This week team Lemonade Stand was working on planning out the project for the summer. We have an idea about what we want to do. The problem, though, is that to do the open badges there was a lot that we had to learn about the school servers and how the XOs communicate with the school servers. This turned out to be a large maze full of misdirection that led to a lot of not very helpful information. Eventually we met some very helpful people on an irc channel for the sugar school servers. They provided us with some very helpful information. Since Friday was Lemonade day at an elementary school, team Lemonade Stand got permission to use that event to do some preliminary play testing done on Lemonade Stand. We also spent some of this week learning how to use git and vim. The plans for next week are to actually get started on working on the code for Lemonade Stand. Even though there are a few things we don’t fully understand how things work between the XOs and the school servers, we have to get started or we won’t have enough time. So we are going to split into groups and start working on the different parts so that even though some of us might still be researching the school servers we can still get some progress made.
