So what I was working on was trying to merge my feature branch into the develop branch on github so I could close my last ticket. After that I was planning on working on the presentation that team Lemonade Stand will be giving at flock in our Mozilla Badges in Sugar. However merging turned out to be a nightmare. It was awe full. Then in the middle of the merge other members of team Lemonade Stand made a large number of large commits to develop. So now I have to do a second merge after repairing ...

Today was the local Rochester Python group meet up was today. Us representative of Team SkyTime who could make this time went to present on the changes to SkyTime and how SkyTime is going to the White House. We then listened to others as they gave talks on the projects they worked on. What I worked on for today was cleaning up all the work I did for adding in new ingredients, selecting recipes, and creating a custom rec ...

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 ...

A guest from Sugar came to visit today. He had a lot of interesting things to say and was very interested in our work with the open badges for the Sugar Environment. When he was talking to me about learning python I showed him Learn Python The Hard Way which is how I learned python. He said he might consider it when he is teaching kids python. What I worked on was finishing a way to allow players to create their own custom recipes. That is finished. However, ...

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? ...

This week Gourciferous paper GUI Templates were mocked up, I contacted Upstream about presenting them to the Gource community, began working on short videos to send to Red Hat as examples, and I updated avatar_generator to work without log_generator. Currently, there are two different paper mock ups for Gourciferous. One takes a the approach of a few tabs with lots of options and the other takes the approach of a lot of tabs with few options in each. I am not sure which one will be used, howeve ...

Now that the paper mock-ups have been made for Gourciferous I am starting to port some of them to Glade to get an idea of how they will look once built. I am also starting to look for feedback from Gource users so that we can create the most intuitive GUI possible. I have looked into the Gource Google Code page and Github page and there is no real forum or for general discussion. I would really like feedback from the Gour ...

It is now the end of the seventh week of this summer research program. I can’t believe that seven weeks have gone by since this research project began for the summer. This was a very interesting week. We found out that SkyTime, a pet project that I started with a small group of people for a Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software class, will be going to Washington D.C. as part of the National Day of Civic Hacking projects. During the week I helped the person who ...

Well it has been quite some time since my last blog post and there has been a BOAT load of happenings going on in FOSSLAND. SkyTime, Lemonade Stand, are all on their way to become solid-fantastic things! SkyTime: We in the SkyTime Team were recently accepted to the White House in Washington DC because of our activity at the National Civic Hack-a-thon a couple weeks ago. We originally planned on working with SkyTime because we weren't happy with how it performed on the XO laptop. We needed to u ...

I was working on my custom recipe creator for most of the morning and afternoon. What I had left to work on was proving to take much longer that I thought it would. I'm not really running into problems working on it but every time I go to do something I realize that I would have to do three things before that to make it work which created an almost fractal like pattern to the work I had to do to get my idea to work. Then Jenneh, her irc nic not her real name, asked me to stop by and help her go ...
