Today had a bunch of unexpected happenings. We began the day working on our own this time because our mentor was busy with meetings and the such, so we set up our own EtherPad, which is essentially what we do every morning with various different online text editors. This gives the teams a place to jot down their roles for the day and allow us that amazing feeling of literally crossing a task off of your list of todo's. We then took a specific ticket that needed a little m ...

We got around to assigning team roles as well as milestone 1 tickets to people. As for me, I will be assuming the Tech lead role in the group. My responsibilities include working on both ends of the project, the game development as well as the open badges integration. I will be focusing on creating a bridge between the two. For tickets, I was assigned with working on UI cleanup and creating a new screen for the profit guessing mini game that the kids must complete. We threw together some ideas ...

We did a lot more research into Open Badges, School Servers, and the XO journal. We cracked a lot more unanswer questions about the journal and how Lemonade Stand can write and talk to the journal. On the side, I worked on implementing Lemonade Stand into the new version of the XO. It may have taken me almost all day, but it was a huge success! With Lemonade Stand working on the XO, we are now able to start hacking away at the game and see how it l ...

Today we sat around and discussed what we were going to put into tickets and things that we could combine or separate. We spent most of the day doing this as well as some heavy research into the school servers. I was digging for information about adding code to have Lemonade Stand talk to the Jounral in the XO so the information about Lemonade Stand could be backed on the school server. I found a handy dandy [notebook](http://en.flossmanuals.net/ma ...

The day I had been waiting for, Lemonade Day! The team and myself travelled to Henry Hudson Elementary School in Rochester. There we set up a table for us to display the four XOs that we had, two of which we playing Lemonade Stand and the other two Sky Time. The day was a great success! We were able to go around and see other Lemonade tables around the school and try some of their delicious ...

Today we had a lot of busy work in Lemonade world. We finished creating our github tickets, and just need to assign these tickets to our team members. With this done, I turned my focus to researching Mozilla Open Badges. My first search into Mozilla brought me to the OpenBadges.org Site which is the poster site for Open Badges. It gives new users a new summary and explains what Open Badges is. I learned, that to be able to receive badges, you need to have a backpac ...

I didn't do much research, have any troubles, or work on a wide variety of things today, so this will be short. Team Lemonade Stand selected our roles in the project and we worked on finishing up planning the tickets, creating the milestones, and assigning the tickets to milestones. ...

Here's a link on how to use the github issue tab to its fullest extent: github issues tab ...
