A large goal of the Gourciferous project is to create a GUI that will make processing GIT logs and rendering Gource videos a lot easier. For the past few days I have been working on creating some mock-ups for the GUI in Glade. The benefit of using Glade is that the mock-up can easily become a functional GUI by adding a Python program to create functionality. However, using Glade hasn't been a picnic. Originally the software seemed incredibly intuitive. The buttons are simple, and it truly on ta ...

Yesterday was crazy....between losing power and a freak hail/thunderstorm which turned my car seats into sponges, getting things done was difficult. We came into work with a beautiful day above our heads and a readiness to tackle the day. I started the day by digging into the activity I found over the weekend as well as tearing apart the code for the mock journal application. A similarity i noticed strait off was that bot acvities mentioned "logging" as in the standard library. I didn't know wh ...

This concludes our third week working with FOSS@RIT for our summer Co-op. It was a week of mostly planning and course laying for the rest of our summer. We exploited Github and it's wonderful ticket feature to add milestones and tickets for our goals. Since we now have our goals clearly outlined on Github, we can finally get to work on the purpose of our summer Co-op. These tickets are an open feature and I thoroughly encourage you all to create some of your own when to start working on a projec ...

Last Friday was our first real "Work From Home Friday". I woke up that morning with confidence in finding the way the OLPC journal talks to each activity and vice versa. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. I spent the greater part of the day unsuccessfully pinging Google and the interwebz for some information on this ticket of mine. Having another day where I felt like I made no progress whatsoever isn't very encouraging....As a last ditch effort, I pinged sugar in IRC hoping that they would ...

Today was a mess of a day. Halfway through the day the power went out and it didn't come back until about two hours later. This combined with the amount of hours we worked meant that this wasn't the most productive day ever. What I did work on was trying to clean up some of my past blogs to make the seem more official. I also looked through the code getting a better feel of how everything fits together and trying to clean up some of the user interface in spots. ...

More School Server Stupidity Hai! Today I started the McNair scholars program, and now have to run off to a class every monday and wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 this summer. It's a refreshing change of pace, but I feel like I'm missing out on glorious FOSSbox time. I'll just have to make the most of the time that I do spend there from now on. I will no longer play lemonade stand during my breaks! After all, I already have a screenshot of [$1,000,000,000,000+](http://www.elsolet.net/wp- content/ ...

This week I have been working on Gourciferous, which will become the our GUI of the combination of RIT FOSS Multi-Gource and, of course, Gource itself. Gourciferous will be written entirely in Python and the GUI will be built using Glade. The goal will be to create the most simple way to run Gource and combine GIT logs. Another feature that Gourciferous is going to bring to the table are Templates that will act as ...

It is now the end of the third week of this summer research program. Team Lemonade Stand is now ready to start working on our different assignments in parallel. This week we had finished deciding on what our different tickets are going to be and what the milestones for them are going to be. We then split up the tickets for the first milestone between each of us. The ticket I got for this milestone happens to overlap with DAWacker’s milestone and the work he had been doing for the last few weeks. ...

Today was WFHF. I spent the full work hours on irc. I worked on my ticket that I was assigned, looking through the code to see any place that I could improve the logs that hadn't already been taken care of by DAWacker. I also helped work on the submission video for SkyTime. ...

Team Lemonade Stand has begun to work in parallel and have each been given a ticket to work on. My ticket was to clean up the logs so it wouldn't seem to overwhelming. My ticket overlaps with DAWacker's ticket, and since he knew the code better since he had been working on it for the past few weeks I was helping make suggestions and tips on what he was working while I was trying to get a handle on the code myself. ...
