I will be today's meeting host, who wants to give the initial kick? keep in mind I don't know all the details of your projects, so please include a brief description so I know who I am talking to |
| 17:54 |
|
aneeshdogra, curiousguy13 puneet_kaur anyone :)? |
| 17:54 |
curiousguy13 |
ok, can i start? |
| 17:55 |
tch |
go ahead ! |
| 17:55 |
curiousguy13 |
so my name is kunal arora and my project is porting sugar to python3 |
| 17:55 |
|
this week, i worked more on sugar-build , initially i worked on some osbuild issues but got stuck on a chroot error (which i still can't find solution to) |
| 17:56 |
|
then i cloned and ported the broot,osbuild,gwebsockets and plog modules from the site-packages and i am still trying to figure out a way to link my cloned repositories with sugar-build. |
| 17:56 |
|
also went through the code of sugar module and made the necessary changes that were visible on first inspection but i haven't tested it yet , so all the non-trivial changes will appear when i start testing it. |

| 17:57 |
tch |
curiousguy13, did you asked walterbender or dnarvaez for help? regarding the chroot |
| 17:58 |

| 18:00 |
puneet_kaur |
tch, hi |
| 18:01 |
tch |
curiousguy13, ok! |
| 18:01 |
|
native93 <native93!~native14.98.102.211> has joined #sugar-meeting |
| 18:01 |
tch |
curiousguy13, anything you want to add? |
| 18:01 |
curiousguy13 |
tch: next week i'll try to resolve the sugar-build issues and continue porting sugar module |
| 18:02 |
|
and if possible try to increase it's test coverage too |
| 18:02 |
tch |
curiousguy13, I never counted the modules, how many are there? and how many did you ported? :) |
| 18:03 |
curiousguy13 |
well, there's mainly sugar-build, sugar and sugar-toolkit some of which do have submodules |
| 18:03 |
|
until now i have mostly ported sugar-build except a few issues remain |
| 18:03 |
|
and this week i also worked on sugar |
| 18:04 |
tch |
curiousguy13, did you try running sugar-build without chroot? (not sure if this helps) |
| 18:04 |
curiousguy13 |
tch: how can i do that? |
| 18:05 |
tch |
curiousguy13, is in the sugar-build docs, 1 sec will should you how |
| 18:06 |
|
curiousguy13, http://www.fpaste.org/111568/28755814/ |
| 18:06 |
|
just drop that prefs.json file in your sugar-build root dir |
| 18:06 |
|
curiousguy13, do it a separate clone, just incase |
| 18:06 |
|
gonzalo_ has quit IRC |
| 18:07 |
curiousguy13 |
ok, this might temporarily surpass the problem but i will need a permanent solution |
| 18:08 |
|
so until i find a solution a can try disabling chroot |
| 18:08 |
tch |
curiousguy13, well, it worth trying :) |
| 18:08 |
|
curiousguy13, anything else? |
| 18:08 |
curiousguy13 |
tch: yeah thanks :) |
| 18:09 |
|
nah, i think that's it |
| 18:09 |
tch |
alright! |
| 18:09 |
|
who wants to step in? |
| 18:10 |
|
curiousguy13, thanks for the update btw |
| 18:10 |
prasoon2211_ |
I guess I'll report in |
| 18:10 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, please do! |
| 18:11 |
prasoon2211_ |
Just a reminder - I'm working on social help |
| 18:11 |
|
integrating discourse with sugar |
| 18:11 |
|
anyway |
| 18:11 |
|
this week, I finished adding a login time popup |
| 18:11 |
|
to discourse |
| 18:11 |
|
(this i disucssed with paul) |
| 18:12 |
|
Also, I've cut down on the browse activity to make it lighter for out purposes |
| 18:12 |
|
just removing bookmarks |
| 18:12 |
|
also, I'm done with the CSS stylings |
| 18:12 |
|
nothing much, really |
| 18:13 |
|
just made the whole thing a bit more colourful |
| 18:13 |
|
then |
| 18:13 |
|
next week is the midterm eval so I wanted to deploy the customized version of discourse |
| 18:13 |
|
before then |
| 18:14 |
|
I have asked the disocurse devs on how do I make a docker image for the customized discourse |
| 18:14 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, sounds good, usually is good to see something before judging :) |
| 18:14 |
prasoon2211_ |
here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/c[…]discourse/16683/2 |
| 18:14 |
|
I'm waiting for the answer |
| 18:14 |
|
tch, well, my project was kinda small really |
| 18:15 |
|
I'm mostly donw |
| 18:15 |
|
I'll need to make some DB migration scripts though |
| 18:15 |
|
which I'll work on after midterm eval |
| 18:15 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, what did you decide regarding the integration with Sugar? |
| 18:15 |
prasoon2211_ |
A shortcut that opens up into the proper category in discourse |
| 18:15 |
|
it's working |
| 18:16 |
|
I also tried doing some JS injection in the webkit view |
| 18:16 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, and the auth part? you just leave it to the browser? |
| 18:16 |
prasoon2211_ |
for registration purposes |
| 18:16 |
|
yes |
| 18:16 |
|
the thing is |
| 18:17 |
|
there are total of 6 different auth systems |
| 18:17 |
|
which we can use for login with doscourse |
| 18:17 |
|
plus |
| 18:17 |
|
discourse does not provide auth tokens like fb |
| 18:17 |
|
so, I didn't really see the point of makiing it into a webservice |
| 18:18 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, not sure you read my reply, but the webservice only makes sense if you want to integrate things like the journal with discourse |
| 18:19 |
prasoon2211_ |
yes I read that |
| 18:19 |
|
in fact |
| 18:19 |
|
I was just typing the same thing as you (integration) |
| 18:19 |
|
So, I can't see what we'd like to integrate the social help activity with |
| 18:20 |
|
Maybe the write activity? |
| 18:20 |
|
but the discourse editor is *so* much better than simple plaintext, so... |
| 18:20 |
|
Can't think of any other activity that we'd like to integrate with discourse |
| 18:21 |
|
so, I didn't go forward with creating a webservice |
| 18:21 |
tch |
I think it depends on how you designed the usage of discourse within sugar, |
| 18:21 |
prasoon2211_ |
exactly |
| 18:21 |
|
the usage is: press a shorcut and you're launched into discussion about the topic |
| 18:22 |
|
no point in connecting other activities in the middle, really |
| 18:22 |
tch |
I can only imagine two cases: |
| 18:23 |
|
* you are working with actiivity X, then you press the shortcut and you see posts that are related to the activity X |
| 18:23 |
prasoon2211_ |
okay |
| 18:23 |
tch |
* this one is kind of blurry, but maybe people can upload thing directly from the journal... but not sure it makes much sense |
| 18:24 |
|
these are just ideas though, |
| 18:24 |
|
something you could discuss with your mentor |
| 18:24 |
prasoon2211_ |
hmm |
| 18:24 |
|
the second case isn't really clear, as you say |
| 18:24 |
|
I guess I'll ask paul then |
| 18:24 |
|
oh, one more thing |
| 18:25 |
|
do we have a smtp mail server for sugarlabs.org? |
| 18:25 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, I think so, but better ask bernie |
| 18:25 |
prasoon2211_ |
okay |
| 18:26 |
|
discourse will require it for sending mails |
| 18:26 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, if this becomes a blocker, just create a gmal account |
| 18:26 |
|
for your testing purposes |
| 18:26 |
prasoon2211_ |
I did |
| 18:26 |
tch |
ok :) |
| 18:27 |
|
anything else? |
| 18:27 |
prasoon2211_ |
but, gmail isn't working - it's not letting the application 'log in |
| 18:27 |
|
and it sends me an email saying 'suspicious log in attempted' |
| 18:27 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, weird, I have used it extensively even with custom python script thats handle smtp |
| 18:27 |
prasoon2211_ |
so, I guess I'll change it to some other host |
| 18:28 |
|
I too have done that before |
| 18:28 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, yeah, don't block |
| 18:28 |
prasoon2211_ |
I guess it's because the aws servers are sitting halfway across the owrld |
| 18:28 |
|
*world |
| 18:28 |
|
anyway, I'll look for a solution to this |
| 18:28 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, good! |
| 18:28 |
prasoon2211_ |
The next few days I'll be trying to create a docker image of the custom discourse and run it on the EC2 instance |
| 18:29 |
|
that's it, I guess |
| 18:29 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, that sounds like an interesting blog post ;) |
| 18:29 |
|
rparra <rparra!~rparra186.0.191.17> has joined #sugar-meeting |
| 18:29 |
prasoon2211_ |
yeah |
| 18:29 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, thanks for the updates |
| 18:29 |
|
who is next :)? |
| 18:29 |
native93 |
I will get in |
| 18:29 |
aneeshdogra |
Me/ |
| 18:29 |
|
? |
| 18:29 |
prasoon2211_ |
logging off then. good day/night everyone |
| 18:30 |
tch |
native93, go ahead! |
| 18:30 |
|
prasoon2211_ has quit IRC |
| 18:30 |
tch |
prasoon2211_, take care |
| 18:30 |
native93 |
yeah... so after the chat channel this week i was supposed to plan out for shared clipboard which was scheduled for the second half of the program |
| 18:31 |
|
I went through the clipboard codebase ... |
| 18:31 |
tch |
native93, can you give a brief summary of you work :) and your name too! |
| 18:32 |
native93 |
ohh.. sure, Nazrul .. |
| 18:32 |
|
so two things majorly - |
| 18:33 |
|
first one was to plan out the sharing of files .. |
| 18:33 |
|
well, |
| 18:33 |
|
unlike the chat channel I coded .. |
| 18:33 |
|
this involves transfer of files and not sure whether it's done somewhere in the codebase .. |
| 18:34 |
|
so I thought to discuss it with walter in today's meeting .. |
| 18:34 |
|
secondly .. |
| 18:34 |
|
the tagging of cb objects .. |
| 18:35 |
tch |
native93, there is a functionality to transfer journal entries between users, |
| 18:36 |
|
native93, not sure if that is what you meant |
| 18:36 |
|
can you define "cb"? |
| 18:36 |
native93 |
tch, yeah .. something similar .. can you give a pointer to it ? |
| 18:36 |
|
cb - clipboard object .. |
| 18:37 |
tch |
native93, https://github.com/sugarlabs/s[…]l/filetransfer.py |
| 18:37 |
native93 |
since the clipboard needs to be universal so only those objects need to be shared which comes from shared activities .. |
| 18:37 |
tch |
native93, ah, that makes sense |
| 18:37 |
native93 |
so this was the tagging part .. |
| 18:38 |
|
and yeah .. something related to the code . |
| 18:38 |
|
if I want to get current activity .. |
| 18:39 |
tch |
you can do that too, |
| 18:39 |
native93 |
I used the function in sugar3.presence.buddy |
| 18:39 |
|
get_current_activity .. |
| 18:39 |
tch |
how did that work? |
| 18:39 |
native93 |
not satisfactory .. |
| 18:39 |
tch |
you need it remotely or locally? |
| 18:39 |
aneeshdogra |
brb in 2 mins |
| 18:39 |
native93 |
locally for now |
| 18:39 |
tch |
aneeshdogra, (alright) |
| 18:40 |
|
native93, ok, 1 sec |
| 18:40 |
native93 |
sure .. |
| 18:40 |
tch |
native93, https://github.com/sugarlabs/s[…]be/model/shell.py |
| 18:42 |
native93 |
hmm .. got it .. |
| 18:42 |
tch |
native93, use get_active_activity |
| 18:42 |
|
from shell model |
| 18:42 |
native93 |
yeah . thnx .. |
| 18:42 |
|
so upcoming week |
| 18:42 |
tch |
ie., from jarabe.model.shell import get_model; model = get_model(); model.get_active_activity() |
| 18:42 |
|
something like that |
| 18:43 |
native93 |
yeah . . just have to replace this with the older one in my code .. |
| 18:43 |
tch |
native93, good |
| 18:43 |
native93 |
so upcoming week . . I wld start implementing the file tranfer |
| 18:43 |
|
*transfer |
| 18:45 |
tch |
ok, let Walter know ;) |
| 18:45 |
native93 |
yeah .. sure .. I though he would be here today :/ |
| 18:46 |
tch |
native93, he was unexpectedly taken by superior obligations hehe |
| 18:46 |
|
native93, he should be available via email though, |
| 18:46 |
|
native93, just spam him ;) |
| 18:46 |
native93 |
tch, :P ... yeah .. I will add another mail to his inbox :) .. |
| 18:47 |
tch |
native93, ok, is there anything else? |
| 18:48 |
native93 |
tch, this was for the week |
| 18:48 |
|
except .. discussion with walter :/ |
| 18:49 |
puneet_kaur |
hi tch :) |
| 18:49 |
tch |
native93, alright, |
| 18:49 |
|
aneeshdogra, your turn |
| 18:49 |
aneeshdogra |
tch: Thanks. |
| 18:50 |
rparra |
hello tch, put me in the line, please :) |
| 18:50 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, hey! |
| 18:50 |
aneeshdogra |
So yeah. I had an interesting week :) |
| 18:50 |
tch |
alright, aneeshdogra -> puneet_kaur -> rparra |
| 18:50 |
aneeshdogra |
Some context first: |
| 18:50 |
|
Name: Aneesh Dogra |
| 18:50 |
|
Project: Enhancements to the Music Keyboard Activity |
| 18:50 |
tch |
sounds fun |
| 18:51 |
aneeshdogra |
Yeah it is, trust me :) |
| 18:51 |
|
Anyway, so this week I worked on adding rhythms to the keyboard |
| 18:51 |
native93 |
tch, also gp94 is traveling .. so wasn't able to make it .. |
| 18:51 |
aneeshdogra |
like in TamTamMini activity |
| 18:51 |
|
seen that? |
| 18:52 |
|
So, yeah I added rhythms to the music keyboard now, with a simple UI. |
| 18:52 |
tch |
aneeshdogra, yeah I have an idea |
| 18:52 |
aneeshdogra |
You could now accompany your keyboard plays with a beat. |
| 18:52 |
tch |
aneeshdogra, I mean, I can imagine |
| 18:52 |
aneeshdogra |
tch: The code is constantly uploaded to my pubic fork of the activity on github. |
| 18:53 |
tch |
aneeshdogra, cool, like the typical yamaha keybaord |
| 18:53 |
aneeshdogra |
I was supposed to have a meeting with Gonzalo and Walter regarding the UI fixes |
| 18:53 |
|
but they couldn't make it |
| 18:53 |
|
tch: yeah exactly :) |
| 18:53 |
|
tch: we just made it into a sugar activity man. :) |
| 18:53 |
|
loved working on it :D |
| 18:53 |
tch |
haha, nice |
| 18:54 |
|
what are the top features you are plannig to add? |
| 18:54 |
aneeshdogra |
tch: that's it for the week I guess. I am gonna work on adding percussions, recording, playback and export |
| 18:54 |
tch |
thats answers my question |
| 18:54 |
aneeshdogra |
so percussions is also gonna be inspired from TamTamMini |
| 18:55 |
|
and yeah |
| 18:55 |
|
networking |
| 18:55 |
|
how could i forget the networking |
| 18:55 |
tch |
ok, oh that would be interesting |
| 18:55 |
aneeshdogra |
We'd be adding some network features too |
| 18:55 |
|
Yeah it will be |
| 18:55 |
tch |
chaotic and loudy |
| 18:55 |
aneeshdogra |
Students collaborating on music :D |
| 18:55 |
tch |
I like it |
| 18:55 |
aneeshdogra |
I am sure they'd make it sound better than Justin Bieber :D |
| 18:55 |
|
No offense :P |
| 18:55 |
tch |
not hard... |
| 18:56 |
aneeshdogra |
Definitely. |
| 18:56 |
tch |
aneeshdogra, ok, anything else you want to mention? |
| 18:56 |
aneeshdogra |
tch: I guess that's it. Short and sweet :) |
| 18:56 |
tch |
aneeshdogra, good, thanks for the updates :) |
| 18:56 |
aneeshdogra |
tch: Thanks for talking. |
| 18:57 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, your turn! |
| 18:57 |
aneeshdogra |
I'll stick around to listen more about other projects :) |
| 18:57 |
|
Thanks for waiting guys :) |
| 18:57 |
puneet_kaur |
Hi, so I worked on cordova cli |
| 18:58 |
|
got through its code |
| 18:58 |
|
oh sorry , should I give a description of prjct first ? |
| 18:58 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, yes please |
| 18:58 |
puneet_kaur |
ok |
| 18:58 |
tch |
just briefly |
| 18:58 |
puneet_kaur |
yeah sure |
| 18:59 |
|
so the project is adding a cordova container to sugar |
| 18:59 |
|
cordova helps us to access all the device features using the web languages |
| 18:59 |
|
so basically we code in html,css and js |
| 18:59 |
|
and get a native app |
| 19:00 |
|
thats what it does |
| 19:00 |
|
to get our application working on different platforms |
| 19:00 |
|
we design our app keepiing in mind its logic |
| 19:00 |
|
and not in a native languages |
| 19:01 |
|
the cordova middle layer takes care of the underlying native support |
| 19:01 |
|
tch, did u get that ? |
| 19:01 |
|
native93 has quit IRC |
| 19:01 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, yes, sounds good ;) |
| 19:01 |
|
native93 <native93!~native14.98.102.211> has joined #sugar-meeting |
| 19:01 |
puneet_kaur |
cool :-) |
| 19:01 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, did you get to run it yet from an XO? |
| 19:01 |
puneet_kaur |
not yet |
| 19:02 |
|
I am still on it cli |
| 19:02 |
|
whereby it can convert an html stuff to an xo |
| 19:02 |
|
through the cordova commands |
| 19:02 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, oh ok |
| 19:02 |
puneet_kaur |
so basically there are various commands of cordova |
| 19:02 |
|
which makes things easy for us |
| 19:02 |
|
like |
| 19:03 |
|
if u say create |
| 19:03 |
|
it will create a new prj |
| 19:03 |
|
and if u say add <platform> |
| 19:03 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, great, and how is your project going? what's done what in the TODO? :) |
| 19:03 |
puneet_kaur |
yeah |
| 19:03 |
|
so build a briidge from cordova to native side |
| 19:03 |
|
using apisocket.py |
| 19:04 |
|
now currently focussing on cli |
| 19:04 |
|
got list,add commands working |
| 19:04 |
bernie |
tch: yes we do |

tch |
bernie, (thanks!) |
| 19:05 |
puneet_kaur |
once the build works we shall be able to convert html stuff to .xo |
| 19:05 |
|
and install |
| 19:05 |
|
also |
| 19:05 |
|
once this is done |
| 19:05 |
|
I need to work upon plugins |
| 19:05 |
|
there's a plugman |
| 19:06 |
|
which helps and take care of all plugins |
| 19:06 |
|
so need to insert our platform to that |
| 19:06 |
|
too |
| 19:06 |
|
and |
| 19:06 |
|
try out |
| 19:06 |
|
various plugins |
| 19:06 |
|
code up front and back end |
| 19:06 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, I see, lots of fun :) |
| 19:06 |
puneet_kaur |
yes :-) |
| 19:06 |
|
there's a lot to do here |
| 19:07 |
|
and best would be |
| 19:07 |
|
to commit the changes to the cordova repo |
| 19:07 |
|
so that the developers |
| 19:07 |
|
can generate .xo from there web apps |
| 19:08 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, +1, and getting your patches there will do great for your oss profile too :) hehe |
| 19:08 |
puneet_kaur |
:D |
| 19:09 |
tch |
puneet_kaur, alright :), anything else? whats for the next week (specifically)? |
| 19:09 |
puneet_kaur |
oh yeah |
| 19:09 |
|
and I also need to make a schema of the cli code |
| 19:09 |
|
Lionel asked for that |
| 19:10 |
|
and for next week |
| 19:10 |
|
I hope build command should be through |
| 19:10 |

hi Jade_ |
| 19:16 |
tch |
rparra, go ahead! |
| 19:16 |
walterbender |
watched a few of your videos this morning |
| 19:17 |
Jade_ |
They have not been edited and I still need to get the fritzing images - |
| 19:17 |
rparra |
tch, sure, should I describe my project briefly first? |
| 19:17 |
|
or straight to the updates? |
| 19:18 |
tch |
rparra, just a brief summary, I already know though ;) |
| 19:18 |
rparra |
that's why I asked haha. |
| 19:19 |
|
Ok, basically I'm defining a method to integrate speech recognition to Sugar Activities |
| 19:19 |
|
under the hood, I'm using Pocketsphinx speech recognition engine and gstreamer |
| 19:20 |
|
A single Pocketsphinx process is run, and results are sent to interested "clients" (Activities) |
| 19:20 |
|
in a very pubsub manner |
| 19:20 |
|
results are sent through D-Bus |
| 19:21 |
|
what I'm aiming for is allowing Activity developers to add voice based interfaces |
| 19:21 |
|
which could be useful for a lot of people |
| 19:22 |
tch |
rparra, great :), so whats new? |
| 19:23 |
rparra |
this week, in the first place, I modified the recognizer to consider current user locale to search for models defined by the Activity |
| 19:23 |
|
now, if there is a model available for your current language it'll be picked by the recognizer code, and passed to Pocketsphinx |
| 19:24 |
tch |
rparra, does it take consideration for localization? |
| 19:25 |
rparra |
yes, current language is obtained by calling locale.getlocale(), and it follows some rules of preference |
| 19:26 |
|
first, it seeks for models for the full language, ie 'es_Es' |
| 19:26 |
|
if that's not defined, it searches models for 'es' |
| 19:26 |
tch |
rparra, good, and last one is en? |
| 19:26 |
rparra |
if that isn't found, it looks for 'en' models |
| 19:27 |
tch |
or goes to the back-end default? |
| 19:27 |
rparra |
yes, exactly |
| 19:27 |
tch |
ok |
| 19:27 |
rparra |
it looks for a local en model, and after that goes to the default models |
| 19:27 |
walterbender |
how do app developers use this? |
| 19:27 |
|
an API yet? |
| 19:28 |
rparra |
yes, actually, I've used it with Maze already (pushing very soon) |
| 19:28 |
|
I'll upload my fork of the Activity |
| 19:28 |
|
and I've also fiddled with FavoritesView, to allow users to run Activities with voice commands |
| 19:29 |
|
the last bit is still a bit rough, but I'm working on it |
| 19:31 |
tch |
rparra, nice, something interesting to review today ;) |
| 19:31 |
quidam |
rparra: does it need extra libs or changes to the sugar packages? |
| 19:32 |
rparra |
walterbender, there is also a (very) simple demo Activity here https://github.com/rparrapy/sugarlistens-livedemo |
| 19:33 |
|
quidam, it needs Pocketsphinx and some other dependiencies |
| 19:34 |
tch |
rparra, make sure to add the dependencies in the README |
| 19:35 |
rparra |
tch, ok I will |
| 19:35 |
tch |
rparra, quidam the spirit is to have something plugin-able |
| 19:35 |
quidam |
rparra: I have some lag. I meant the web activities stuff |
| 19:36 |
tch |
quidam, oh, that is a another topic :) |
| 19:36 |
walterbender |
rparra, I will try it. |
| 19:36 |
tch |
rparra, I guess you can show these bits later, anything else you want to mention? |
| 19:38 |
rparra |
yes, we'll talk very soon |
| 19:39 |
|
nothing else in particular, I think |
| 19:40 |
tch |
rparra, ok! thanks for the updates |
| 19:41 |
|
who next? |
| 19:41 |
Jade_ |
I can go |
| 19:41 |
tch |
Jade_, hello! please do |
| 19:42 |
Jade_ |
I am working on the Hack a Stuffed animal project - where I am building devices that will help kids who have non verbal communication challenges better interact with computers |
| 19:43 |
|
I have filmed and documented over 3 hours of building the first demo - I am editiing it and adding images and making it much easier to follow |
| 19:44 |
tch |
Jade_, awesome, where are you documenting all this :)? links? |
| 19:45 |
Jade_ |
I have it all on my slack folder and I was going to post the website that I created for all the docs |
| 19:46 |
|
It should be ready by next week |
| 19:46 |
|
I am also working on another prototype where I am using conductive paint and kids can use it instead of a mouse |
| 19:47 |
tch |
Jade_, alright, make sure to share that website once its working |
| 19:48 |
|
Jade_, so, what the TODO for the rest of the project? |
| 19:50 |
Jade_ |
Finish the editing for the video and make another demo of the Conductive Paint Prototype. I am going to demo how kids can use it for Etoys and help with Non verbal communication issues. |
| 19:51 |
|
I have a meeting with a lady I worked with previously at the NIH to demo it with kids with autism- but she has been out. |
| 19:51 |
tch |
Jade_, I know some people from Teleton foundation that will definitely be interested in seeing this |
| 19:51 |
Jade_ |
Awesome! |
| 19:52 |
|
Please send me the info - I really want to try to find the right software to pair it with |
| 19:54 |
|
My email is positiveDeviancygmail.com |
| 19:54 |
tch |
Jade_, I will put you in contact someone I know who works in augmentative communication, with kids from South America |
| 19:55 |
Jade_ |
Thank you so much! |
| 19:55 |
tch |
Jade_, anything else you want to mention? :) |
| 19:56 |
Jade_ |
That is it - Thanks |
| 19:56 |
|
I have a lot more work to do |
| 19:57 |
tch |
Jade_, thanks for the updates |
| 19:57 |
|
Anyone else? :) |
| 19:57 |
martian_ |
tch, yes |
| 19:57 |
tch |
m_anish, go ahead! |
| 19:58 |
m_anish |
? |
| 19:58 |
martian_ |
Hi ! my name is Anubhav |
| 19:58 |
|
I'm working on Turtle Art 3D |
| 19:59 |
tch |
m_anish, (sorry! typo-completion) |
| 19:59 |
m_anish |
tch, np, carry on. |
| 19:59 |
martian_ |
i.e. adding 3D drawing capabilities to turtle art |
| 19:59 |
tch |
martian_, sounds fun :), using GL? |
| 20:00 |
martian_ |
tch, had planned to use it initially |
| 20:00 |
|
but there were lots of issues with it |
| 20:01 |
|
would have entirely disturbed the existing TA which uses cairo |
| 20:01 |
tch |
martian_, ok, what are you using then? |
| 20:01 |
martian_ |
so I'm basically writing a simple package to project 3D points to 2D |
| 20:02 |
|
and use existing drawing functions of TA to draw on the canvas |
| 20:02 |
walterbender |
martian_, BTW, you need to use a different internal name for the pitch block because there is a sensor block with that name (audio pitch) |
| 20:03 |
|
tch, the idea is to export models to OpenGL |
| 20:03 |
martian_ |
walterbender, i see |
| 20:03 |
walterbender |
martian_, that is why the color comes out red |
| 20:03 |
|
and why it doesn't work correctly :) |
| 20:04 |
martian_ |
walterbender, oh |
| 20:04 |
|
I'll look |
| 20:04 |
|
aneeshdogra has quit IRC |
| 20:04 |
martian_ |
tch, till now, I have added basic blocks using which you can start drawing in 3D |
| 20:05 |
tch |
martian_, cool, anything screenshot or videos? or even better code :) |
| 20:05 |
martian_ |
such as: setxyz - sets position to (x,y,z) |
| 20:05 |
|
tch, yes |
| 20:06 |
|
link to my repo: |
| 20:06 |
|
https://github.com/Anubhav-J/turtleart |
| 20:06 |
|
blog: http://anubhavjaiswal.wordpress.com/ |
| 20:06 |
|
you can find some screens there |
| 20:06 |
tch |
martian_, looks awesome |
| 20:06 |
martian_ |
although it needs updation, sorry for the delay :/ |
| 20:07 |
tch |
martian_, next-gen minecraft ;) |
| 20:07 |
martian_ |
whats not mentioned in blog is there are rotation blocks |
| 20:07 |
|
which rotate a point about coordinate axes |
| 20:07 |
|
and I have modified forward accordingly |
| 20:08 |
tch |
walterbender, the API is consistent with TAs |
| 20:08 |
|
martian_, |
| 20:08 |
walterbender |
yes |
| 20:08 |
|
an extension |
| 20:09 |
|
but not a plug in as it needs some changes to how turtles work |
| 20:09 |
|
so it is a fork |
| 20:09 |
tch |
walterbender, ok, a good fork :) |
| 20:09 |
walterbender |
yes |
| 20:10 |
martian_ |
:) |
| 20:10 |
|
this week, I added some more necessary blocks |
| 20:10 |
|
and created some examples |
| 20:10 |
|
puneet_kaur has quit IRC |
| 20:10 |
martian_ |
to analyze what do we need further |
| 20:10 |
tch |
martian_, would be great if the next post includes a summary of the new blocks |
| 20:11 |
martian_ |
tch, sure :) |
| 20:11 |
|
some more screens: |
| 20:11 |

| 20:11 |
tch |
yes, to see the individual effects |

| 20:12 |
tch |
very cool |
| 20:13 |
martian_ |
haha .. i agree :) |
| 20:13 |
|
rparra has quit IRC |
| 20:13 |
tch |
martian_, are you planing to support textures too? ie., planes with images in 3d |
| 20:13 |
martian_ |
tch, yes, it is included in our goals |
| 20:14 |
|
though i haven't looked into it yet |
| 20:14 |
tch |
martian_, alright, anything else you want to mention? |
| 20:15 |
|
whats in the immediate TODO? |
| 20:15 |
walterbender |
we'll probably do hidden line only in opengl in the short term |
| 20:15 |
|
because turtle draws everything as it goes along rather than rendering a database |
| 20:16 |
|
but eventually we 'll add the concept of defining objects and rendering |
| 20:17 |
tch |
walterbender, ok |
| 20:18 |
walterbender |
anything else for today? |
| 20:19 |
|
needs to go in 10 minutes |
| 20:19 |
