First, the lab/office requires keycard access, so either someone will have to stay there and administer the pizza, we'll have to leave the lab open and unmonitored, or nobody will be able to get in to get the pizza. The second problem is that our lab is in Caldwell Lab, which strictly forbids food and drink. While I like the usage of the lab, I think we may need to re-work this idea, perhaps another location, or maybe get an exception to the rules? -Brian Swaney NOTE: If you respond to this e-mail, please use your OSU-provided address, unless otherwise specified.

I posted a message on Opensource email list and it also appeared on the Opensource newsgroup in Dec '15, 07. I have not received any reply to my question. I understand nobody is obligated to answer my question. Since it is public (within the subscribers) and I asked serious questions that seem to be something that people might be wondering about, don't you think it would serve better to the purpose and mission of Opensource group that my posting deserves at least a reply, either a helpful answer, some sorts of concern, or just putting out some empty words? I think anything would be better than ignorance. I don't see why getting new equipments or free pizza is interesting at all. I don't see how you have peace when you are not responding to posted questions. In other words, I don't see how you carry on everyday without any doubts that you did not do, did not say, did not respond, and that those are missing, and we can't move on. What do you think?

That is I have no rules, no agreements to follow when I have questions to ask and I have no way to know what is considered to be acceptable questions, what is not, and how to conduct myself and what to comply with. Under such circumstances, there are no hopes for fixes, no work-arounds to the forbidden territory, no communications are possible, except for heading toward the uncurable, the unsolvable, the dead end. That is truly "god forbidden", and it is dragging the entire human structure down, that would take the unimaginable to rebuild. Yes I mean civilization! I mean we need a civilized regualtions to follow in our daily life. I would recommend reading our constitution http://opensource.cse.ohio-state.edu/about/constitution which loosely states that "It is important to recognize the danger that bureaucracy can get in the way of doing cool things. ", which is why we do not have rules or posted standards for posting to the group. As the Open Source club, we might work to build up a better civilization, but it would be through building better software tools, which will hopefully provide a better technological infrastructure for the "entire human structure". In addition, our club makes no promises and has no service-level-agreements, so responses will be hit-or-miss. Relevant topics that are of wide interest (some great new technology...) to everyone have a high chance of response, and postings that might be outside the scope of most people's specialty and especially postings during finals week or during breaks have lesser chances of a response.

Tonight's Schedule ********************* I'd like to actually (online) purchase some new equipment for our lab, pc and/or notebook, which we would lead to next weeks meeting where we would install Ubuntu, sell back Windows (if it comes preloaded), and then use that money for food/coffee/t-shirt/pack of gum/stamp-for-letter-to-bill-gates. But additionally I think it would be cool if we created a project/app for the Android platform, and then weekly meetings we would work on developing that app. So... come with a head full of ideas, and we might work towards one or so. Theres prize money and some good experience to be made from that. ******************** We typically follow a weekly schedule where we meet every Thursday @ 7pm.

Message-ID: <4794D3D3.1000101@cse.ohio-state.edu> Hi Everybody, In response to Peter's solicitation for presentations I'd like to suggest a presentation on up-and-coming file system developments in the open source world. I'm pretty busy myself so I'm going to be totally lame and suggest this topic for someone else. Do we have any kernel hackers or FS junkies who'd be interested in tackling this? I was just reading about BTRFS on kerneltrap and it looks really interesting: http://kerneltrap.org/Btrfs http://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/ Another interesting topic would be the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM, not to be confused with LLVM -- a separate but really interesting topic). Today I was reading about LatencyTop on kerneltrap which is a kernel patch plus userland utility for identifying the sources of kernel latency/overhead incurred by a running application. Yet another great presentation topic! :) I think we still have several open slots this quarter so volunteer if any of this stuff sounds interesting or if you have some ideas of your own! For those who haven't lead a club meeting before, we'd love to hear from you! Presentations are pretty informal and we like to have lots of discussion. The format is up to you: slides, demos, or just an open discussion. And it's always lots of fun! Best, ~jim.

Also, I thought I should let everyone know that today is the FCC Spectrum Auction day. As in, the frequency used to broadcast analog television over the air will be shut off in February 2009, and afterwards, those who win todays auction will be able to pump data over that for mobile devices. Meeting #3: Android and FCC Spectrum Auction When: January 24, 2008 @ 7pm Where: Dreese Labs room 266 Agenda: Discuss the results of the 700Mhz spectrum auction, work on making an Android app, and not spending our money on an iPhone. == feel free to reply to this post with any spectrum announcement discussions you may have.

There are two rounds of bidding today and three rounds each subsequent weekday until the auction closes, which probably won't be for at least a week. That's just a random guess though. - Evan From powers.161 at osu.edu Thu Jan 24 11:54:00 2008 From: powers.161 at osu.edu (Evan Powers) Date: Thu Jan 24 11:54:10 2008 Subject: [opensource] Meeting #3: Android and FCC Spectrum Auction In-Reply-To: <6682cfcf0801240848x6a522ee1w848d62c5afe9c92e@mail.gmail.com> References: <240a31830801240715x6854e4f6m360e72d34857fb32@mail.gmail.com> <6682cfcf0801240848x6a522ee1w848d62c5afe9c92e@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <6682cfcf0801240854p725d3a16w76ed468dd276b649@mail.gmail.com> By the way, anyone who finds this spectrum stuff interesting should take a look at arstechnica.com; their coverage of the subject has been both detailed and of high quality. - Evan From swaney.29 at osu.edu Thu Jan 24 16:41:51 2008 From: swaney.29 at osu.edu (Brian Swaney) Date: Thu Jan 24 16:41:58 2008 Subject: [opensource] Meeting #3: Android and FCC Spectrum Auction In-Reply-To: <240a31830801240715x6854e4f6m360e72d34857fb32@mail.gmail.com> References: <240a31830801240715x6854e4f6m360e72d34857fb32@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4799061F.3090004@osu.edu> / Peter Dietz wrote:/ > and not spending our money on an iPhone. I hope not... That is almost as pointless as Farhad's idea of the giant cheese wheel, and it's not restrictive enough. Maybe the GPhone whenever that comes out, but I still see no need for a club cell phone. -Brian Swaney NOTE: If you respond to this e-mail, please use your OSU-provided address, unless otherwise specified.

Message-ID: <3977537a0801301524g31ce9f09kd2dc09064786b205@mail.gmail.com> Hello Open Source Club, I've been put in charge of creating a library application so people can easily checkout, view, review, rate, tag, categories and manage books in The Open Source Club Office. I'm am nearing the finishing stages of developing the API for this application and looking for something that has a good taste for UI because I suck at that. I was hoping that someone could come up with a decent template for this application and I would help them integrate it in. This would be a good for someone that is good with other languages and such but wants to drip there fingers into Python and Django. So if you want to Design something SWEET! and have people look at this and say WOW!!! then shoot me an email. I would love to have multiply people work on this but I will strictly enforce design consistently throughout the process of building the site. I am also looking for any recommendations or comments about how some stuff should be implemented. This is a brief information what I have and what I would like to see this application evolve into. Right now I was thinking once you go to library.opensource.cse.ohio-state.edu then you would be presented with a dashboard. The Dashboard: Would have your recent books out, recent books added to the system, new reviews, and highest/lowest rated books. Also Links to the other parts of the site such as Browse, Search, etc. Browser: The browser would be a place that you can view tags and category of books. Both tags and categories would be user generated. For tags I was thinking about doing a Tag Cloud. I was also thinking that you could sort by highest and lowest rated books, how many reviews, what's available, and most checked out book. There are many possibilities here and things are likely to change. Search: Pretty much a neat AJAX search dialog. I was thinking if a user searches for a book via ISBN number then it returns a row of information. Such as Title, Publisher, Author, and Availability. Then if the user clicks one any area on the row then it will slide down showing a description of the book and possibly reviews and stuff. I might be explaining this wrong but think of Google Reader list view for an idea of what I am thinking. Book Detail View: This view would show the most about the book. This would also be a hard link to any book. It would have a URL of something like http://library.opensource.cse.ohio-state.edu/book/0123456789/ The number being the ISBN number but it could also be a book-id number which is just a index number in the database. But in this view it would show a Review which would then show Who reviewed it, When, the actually review, reviewers rating, and then a link for people viewing the review if they thought this review was helpful or not. Also you could Tag a book with a good tag that hasn't been put in yet. (GTK, c, XML, c++, etc.) That is all I have for right now. So if anyone really wants to help just let me know. Also a plus with working with me is that I will be teaching Python and Django to the user. I am also looking for people that will help me with some manual labor of going through each booking and typing the ISBN number on a web page. I was also thinking about a way to get a description of each book. I was thinking about tapping into Amazons DB for this but I'm not sure yet. So any ideas on that would also be helpful. Don't be afraid to comment on anything I said either. Things will likely change so any ideas will be greatly be helpful. Also remember that this is a Open Source Project which means that I or TOSC will NOT pay you for any services done, but you get FREE pizza and pop on Thursdays and hear sweet people talk about Open Source Software.
