There once was a game called SkyTime. SkyTime was created by a group of brave and super attractive RIT students. This game, being of humanitarian purpose and just cause, was honored by the White House in Washington DC. (You know, the one that is the center of American politics and all of that :D) It is the night before the event, and our fantastic heroine (me) is preparing to leave for the airport. I make a call to check the flight status, but to everyone’s dismay: THE FLIGHT IS CANCELLED. (Cue ...

I went shopping for a business formal outfit for the White House yesterday, I left at 2:00. I thought I would be back in time for debrief, in time to write up a lovely wrap up blog. I got back at 8:00 pm. -___- I mean seriously? Seriously?!?? Well I found something so now I will be dressed appropriately. It didn’t even occur to me that I was missing debrief until I got back home and looked at the clock. (So sorry Remy!!) So anyway, I got some good stuff done yesterday. Finally finished the 1 ...

Today is my 21st Birthday :D I got some good stuff done today. I got the printing process started for the decals on the new ELF Bike. I got two hundred fliers printed. I also worked on some logos and made a noodle girl to run the noodle stand. (attached) AttachmentSize noodleStand.png 12.21 KB ...

Today was a productive day! I made a bunch of phone calls about printing decals for SJ’s new bike, and got the logo files almost complete for printing. I am currently working on a new logo for mobile zone. It still needs work but I attached my first go at it. I think I got a decent start… I committed a bunch of Lemonade-Stand Files for DAWacker to start implementing. I will have a bunch more for him tomorrow. (My Birthday btw :D 21 woot) I also improve on the software freedom day flier. Looki ...

Howdy, Today I laid out some pages that I plan to print out for the White House. (Once approved by the important people :D) I also emailed with Mizmo the badges I have created for Fedora. I think a lot of them will be put in place before FLOCK, and many will be awarded by then. I will have finish up the last two 10 Bulls badges to complete the set. I found this news clip abut SkyTime: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us30Q5aHT7U&feature=share&list=UUvsAa96Ez...]( http://www.youtube.com/watch? ...

Today was no artwork, and a lot of preparation Washington DC. Running around, picking things up, and discussing printing… nothing too exciting to show. SJ has the very interesting idea that we should give Obama a few copies of our Hagaddah since he is the first president to celebrate Passover in the White House. Next week I plan to be super productive, including getting the printing process started for the stickers for the labs new bike, more badges and assets for lemonade stand. I’ll also be p ...

Good stuff is happening! Thanks to the wonderful David Wilson, Sky Time is now translated into 4 different languages: English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I made a new language screen for Sky Time, and I am revising some screens for Lemonade Stand. I had the very important duty of picking up our huge Buffalo Wild Wings order with Suzanne, which may have included a stop to 7-11 for a free icee. :D Travel plans were made for me to go to DC. Visiting the White House will be a pretty intense ...

AWESOME NEWS!!! Sky Time was accepted to be represented in the White House Champions of Change Event! http://www.whitehouse.gov/champions “White House Champions of Change events feature groups of Americans – individuals, businesses, and organizations – who are doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities.” I spent a very long time on the application, and I hoped a lot, but I did not expect it to actually happen. Even af ...

I was at my friend’s birthday party this past weekend. I was watching the fire pit to the sounds of bouncing Ping-Pong balls and sloshing beverages when, wouldn't yah know it, I got sucked into a conversation about Free and Open Source Software. At this point I am decently comfortable with FOSS things. I know how stuff gets done, I understand the mentality and culture behind it, I have been working at FOSS@RIT a while now. I don’t necessarily participate in it all, but I like its academia, its ...

Another lovely week of FOSS has ended… Take a look at the highlights of what I worked on this week (including a scribbly brainstorm sheet ): :D AttachmentSize blog.gif 223.67 KB ...
