Today we were more comfortable with our program on running Eucalyptus after we spoke with the speaker last week. Once again professor Wurst ask as were do we stand on our assignment for Eu Tester, do we cover all the issues and if we are able to run the Eucalyptus cloud yet. well we were not able to run the Eucalyptus yet however we where getting close on what where the issues and where they were coming from. At this point i was very close on what i had to do and what was my team design to accomplish.

Some of the issues we found was on how to run or Eu Tester however we went back to to the same system on what programs where needed to run it or what version of Linux works with the system. my choice was learn a little bit more with github to understand if that would get the Eu tester running at least once before the semester is over.

Today was something special we had a guess speaker from Eucalyptus project and also the one who focus us to work on Eucalyptus it self. today everyone gave there own opinion on Eucalyptus, our troubles, our success and what have we learn so far. she explain most of the issues we were having on running Eucalyptus, what system was compatible and what wasn’t. the latest Cent OS was 6, however we came with the conclusion that Cent OS 6 had a lot of non compatible issues that couldn’t be solve. Thus we came to the conclusion of using Cent OS 5 instead for as a Linux distribution.

It was great having a person who can point us on the right direction so we can get our self on the right track and accomplish our goals. right before she left she say if we had any question to let her know on IRC channel, she will be available when necessary.

This week professor Karl Wurst, wanted to know how far we have gotten on our assignment with Eu Tester. Most student work with the Eu Tester were mostly stuck on running the program well, others didn’t know what team where in. Not even mention what they were doing at all. My biggest problem was communicating with my team to see where we are living off. Somehow we where all over the place, all i kept was working on my normal assignment about continuing the acronyms from Eu Tester hoping that something would change. nothing much done that day just read and learn as I go. Trying to figure out if i can not only install Eu Tester, but also get it running…

Last week I discuss what my input where for the Eu Tester. I was working on how to identify some of the acronyms for the Eu Tester. However even though I’m a computer science student doesn’t mean that I’m fluent on html. so I ask some of the student for help on the subject. some people where stock but some help me out and i corrected a few acronyms connecting them to the glossary. Before doing this I had to ask permission to the student working on the glossary to make sure there where no problems down the line. Amazing everything turn out just fine, i got lucky that my assignment was not such a big deal that i might ruin others people previous jobs.

I was also trying to also run Eucalyptus cloud however on my Linux Ubuntu but somehow its almost impossible to even install some of the files. I keep thinking that it was because of the version of Ubuntu I had but some student it works with the same Linux version. well now i had more homework to do besides reading chapter 5 and chapter 6. At least I’m learning more and more everyday…

This is the day most student started to volunteer to work for the Eucalyptus project, since i never work with python programming language before i thought i would just probably be in the way. Instead i volunteer on vocabularies Eu tester, since most people didn’t know the abbreviation of some of the glossary. I even read a little about python to see what would be the difference between that and java programming which is the one i know a little about… Sadly its very different. However i had to catch up with the reading so that knight i read through chapter 3 and also chapter 4. Most of the student told me to read chapter 5 also because it explain building the code of eucalyptus. In the end is hard to try to learn a new programming language when your even rusty on the original. I realize i have to learn how to crawl before i can walk or in this case run… This doesn’t mean that in the future I’m not going to try and learn it I am an computer science major non the less.

The third week is was very exciting for me because this is the day we find out what program we are going to be working on whether is VLC, Mozilla, Libre Office or Eucalyptus. We had an debate on which people would like to work on between this programs. We couldn’t just agree with one because most students wanted to do different things. The only way to solve this problem was for everybody to write down on a peace of paper what do they want to in order for favorite to least favorite program. In the end the highest program that received the most votes was Eucalyptus. Its kind of wear because i never heard of that program before and i never though the programming code that works with this is Python. Kind of confusing but exciting in a scary way. looking forward to this exercise.

This is week 2, second time we meet for CS401. Today was a little more complicated day because this time we focus on IRC/WIKI in class assignment. with IRC we can chat with other members in the class, however with WIKI you made not edit your own webpage just somebody else in the class. Always remember to register your nickname in order for the professor to know who you are. our assignment also is to right about FOSS Project and to think we should consider for the class to work on for this semester. there where many programs to search for. To my standard I wanted to get some of the files that i had work on before and where comfortable with that includes VLC media player, Mozilla, etc… Let’s hope we choose something good between the class.

This is week one for CS401. Today we are suppose to read and learn about Free and Open Source System (FOSS) and Source Code. Also create this Blog to write our class event either with WordPress or Blogger. This was just a small view for us to get the ball rolling finding out what are we going to be dealing with and get confortable with it. Whether your just learning about Open Source or you been using it for years its a perfect way to put your knowledge to work.
