• 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
