Day 14/Week in Review

by fortnight on Mon 17 June 2013 // Posted in legacy // under

WOOOO!!!! This was our first full week at FOSSbox, exciting stuff!! Here's a recap of what I've done:

Day 10:

-> Days got mixed up, monday's entry was added into last week's week in review post

Day 11:

Marking Milestones

-> Issues on GitHub
-->> I transferred over our list of "Core Requirements" and"Would be Nice-ties"
-->> I also added in issues about or project with badges, adding info the XO Journals, and researching and implementing school servers
-> TIL how to plan out projects on GitHub, and work on parts in separate branches

Day 12:

Assignments and Ouya

-> Today we actually organized our issues on GitHub
-->> We organized our issues into three trimesters
-->> We allotted the issues from the first trimester out
-> We discussed changes to the UI of Lemonade-Stand
-> We also got to playtest the OUYA android gaming system
-> TIL Kickstarter funds many incredible projects, funding them will get you cool things for cheap!

Day 13:

School Server Problems

-> In addition to our allotment of work on GIthub, we also got team roles
-->> I'll be Community Lead - in charge of keeping good records of what we do
-->> Other jobs are "Development Lead", "Tech lead" and "Game lead"
-> We told the developers of school servers what we plan on doing with the software
-> TIL It's quite frustrating to read up and try to work on something you don't physically have yet

Day 14:

Work From Home Friday!

-> I rented out an XO from FOSSbox as well as an ethernet usb adapter.
-> My plan was to Install sugar onto my tower and make it into an XO school server
-->> My tower apparently thinks it's internal hard drives are external
-->> Fedora can't be installed on external drives
-> My hastily created backup plan was to make my Laptop into an XO school server
-> I followed this to the letter
-->> My Laptop, whilst running sugar, only gave me a message saying, "Not an XO, please run 'xs-config'"
-->> No other method calls including 'xs-config' existed, according to the terminal
-> I didn't want to try doing it on the XO laptop without the FOSSbox's permission
-> TIL Even with instructions, it's easy to bite off more than you can chew

P.S. I was going to add memes again, but quickmeme is down, but I'll start making them daily as soon as it's back up! Day 14 would've had a FWP about not getting free software to work on three different computers! sigh
