Douglas Densmore - Out of the lab

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.

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
  • Everyone signed up for Bugzilla and got a quick little overview
  • 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:

  1. Think about which project(s) you would like to be involved in.
  2. 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)
  1. Play with Clotho
    • Take notes on all the bugs they find
      • Prize for the most/best bugs found
  1. Give feedback on the help files
  2. Meet with Doug before the week is out to talk about their role on the team


Today we decided on the owners for the help files. They are:

Richard

  • Main Toolbar
  • Clotho mySQL Connection

Joanna

  • Features Library

Adam
