• Etherpad: http://62.220.136.218:9001/p/codingnight1
• Git depot: ssh://gitolite@foo.fixme.ch:1337/pastebin (ask for the access to nemen or gcmalloc

The proposed projects are:

• Merge patches and release new version of wiki2beamer
• Pastebin application like sprung but based on flask
• Adding patch to xchat otr.
• Soundcloud plugin for mpd, should similar to the lastFM plugin.

• Android app:
  • Record time slept.
  • Ssh remote (multimedia key, slide remote)
  • read only for etherpad formats
  • LDAP search

• little game:
  • little to no graphic at all (sound driven game, or touch driven game)
  • platform game with open source sprite

• Create a minimal pastebin

• A pastebin app which has the following component
  • a [cabinet] database.
  • a api that can be easily adapted for quite any databases.
  • A webinterface using flask (python 2.7), and another using the http.server module
  • A very raw socket interface with direct access trough telnet.

• We learnt alot about:
  • esc
    • Python3 -- How to target this platform, available libraries and frameworks
    • Crazy high-performance Japanese database applications
    • Raw socket programming
    • Web-frameworks programming
    • Group dynamics during a coding-night
    • Also, adding more french vocab to my arsenal
    • Summary: although we didn't produce any production ready code, we never the less came up with multiple proof of concepts
    • Success: ✓
  • gcmalloc
    • Easy merging for git branches.
    • Two japanese brothers with funny names.
    • Refreshing my socket programming fu.
    • A new way to check my code trough pylint.
    • Definition of the project and definition of a simple api.
  • Rorist
    • Python 3 library still hard to find, some changes are kind of tricky (strings/bytes)
    • It's hard to incorporate everyone in the coding process with different level of programming (Oliv felt a little bit left over)
    • We had very good ideas, but we should have limited our self to the basics
    • I'm a slow thinker, sometimes hard to follow speedy gcmalloc and esc :)
    • Met a nice guy (coming from techup.ch) who had nice ideas and acted as some sort of complement project manager
    • ...

1Goal 
Developing an easy to install and maintain distributed server for pasting contents.
GRADING:
1 to 3 
Rate features 1-3: 3 is must, 2 is nice to have, 1 is meh
2Interfaces
111231- Irc hook, irc bot
3233333 - Put paste with curl, retrieve them with netcat or curl , possibility to retrieve metadata with the paste.
2312203 - Nice webinterface
3Features
111331- FUCKING ALPHA TECHNOLOGIES !! (languages: D, lua, bash, haskell; storage: rdf; constraints: single source-file)
333333- KISS
333333- Simple installation
333333- Simple configuration, and maintenance.
121111- expandable with modules ?
3333333- utf-8 for the crowd for !!!! 
232333- Write once pastes (no future modifications) with expiration
132331- Metadata, link paste to each other
1112011- General Data storage (Image Vids ...)
311111- Programming language detection
3113121- Searchable pastebin
2323323- Simple API
112121- Easy remembered paste
133033- Named paste
12202- Private material (protected to a range of user)
2332323- One time access pastebin
3333333 - No guarantees on data
333313 - default expiration time
111121 - General stats
1131 - Similarity detection
1212023 - Automatic and easy testing (Jenkins)

Api :
Git repository:
git clone ssh://gitolite@foo.fixme.ch:1337/pastebin
PASTEBINLIB:
api
// Option 1 (with soft meta)
retrieve(uid[, with_metadata]) -> content, [meta]
post(utf8-text, [[timeout], **meta_dict]) -> uid
make_paste_link(uid_list[, meta_dict]) -> meta_dict
// Alternative (no soft meta)
post(utf8-text, [**expiry_policy], [**timeout], [**prefered_uid], [**linked_uid_list]) -> uid
'(expiry_policy is one of NEVER, AFTER_READ)
Example: post("def foo(): print 'hello'", expriry_policy=AFTER_READ, timeout=5, prefered_uid="foo", linked_uid_list=["bar", "baz"])
retrieve(uid) -> utf8-text
get_creation_timestamp(uid) -> timestamp
get_linked(uid) -> uids
web client
- WSGI is a apparently a nogo with Python 3, spec is ready but not implemented
Syntax rule
module name all lower case, no underscore all appended
example 
in 
caca.py
class GrosCacaca(Process): #camel 

    def __init__(self): #4 space indentation all lowercase

    #all variable are lowercase

    self.kaka = "I love string anyway" #string should be as the C defined it '

    def _poo(self, today=True): #defined as private method (no obligation to do this)

    pass
