• 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

Projects Proposition

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

Goal

• Create a minimal pastebin

Result

• 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) Counting Votes Script http://sprunge.us/agCI http://sprunge.us/ejMV 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
