Douglas Densmore - Out of the lab (Peru salt pools)

Yesterday was the first official day for Berkeley's 2009 iGEM computational team. In the morning we had an introductory meeting and the students filled out forms so that they had key access to Cory Hall, the DOP Center, and their office space. It was great that we were able to get this taken care of so quickly!

After the short time together in the morning, they went to safety training from 10-noon. This was followed by a meeting of both teams over pizza lunch in Stanley Hall. This was a good chance to meet everyone and get some logistics out of the way (stipends, photo release forms, etc).

In the afternoon we did the following:

Watched a short video on EDA
I gave an overview of the two web pages related to Clotho
- http://biocad-server.eecs.berkeley.edu/wiki
- https://2008.igem.org/Team:UC_Berkeley_Tools
Everyone signed up for Bugzilla and got a quick little overview
- http://biocad-server.eecs.berkeley.edu/bugzilla
I gave an overview of the 6 different project areas available for this summer
- Visualization tools
- Language development
- Plug-in and community development
- Workflow development (Kepler)
- Data Model revamp
- Robot/Automation
Everyone configured Netbeans and set up CVS so that they could download Clotho

At the end of the meeting the students were given tasks for the week. The first tasks for the team are as follows:

Think about which project(s) you would like to be involved in.
Add an entry to your notebook with the following:
- Introductory paragraph
- Picture
- Short description of their first short project
- Short description of their first long project (with a bulleted list of tasks they are going to need to take)
Play with Clotho
- Take notes on all the bugs they find
  - Prize for the most/best bugs found
Give feedback on the help files
Meet with Doug before the week is out to talk about their role on the team

Today we:

Discussed how to edit the wiki
Went through a quick Clotho tutorial
Talked about the coding standards for the project
- http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptIIlatest/ptII/doc/coding/style.htm
Decided on the owners for the help files. They are:

Today I met with Nina, Joanna, and Adam (or at least I will by the end of the day) to assign them each to projects and to explain to them more about what they are doing. Here are the project assignments so far:

Project Assignments
Project	PI One	PI Two
Data Model	Bing	Evan
Visualization	Richard	Joanna
Robot Automation	Nina	Bing
Workflows (Kepler)	Thien	?
Language Dev.	Adam	Lesia
Plug-In/Community	Lesia	Richard

The projects have both a PI One (Principle Investigator One) and a PI Two (yes I understand that it is strange to have two "principle" investigators). On Thursday each project will be assigned a day of the week for the weekly meeting. These meetings will be between 2-3 hours long each
