Beta Hack 2006

A three-day gnowsis hack where the whole team gathers to finish all the features for beta0.9. The specifications and designs are made beforehand.

Date & Place

• Thursday 16, Friday 17, Saturday 18 February 2006.
• Zeit: 10:00 (MUST) bis 21:00 (danach: Bier + Glockencafe)
• Ort: Leo Sauermann, Pirmasenser Str 18, 67655 Kaiserslautern

Thursday, 16th: special evening event: Lars Zapf gibt einen aus. @Cameo ~21:30

Place

• Leo's Appartment. Pirmasenser Strasse 18, 67655 Kaiserslautern. 0631/8924761. Near Havanna pub.

Bring and think of:

• food. We will try to order pizza and go to the chinese takeaway, but bring some basic food with you (apples, bread, chips)
• Notebook(s)
• power-adapter for your notebook
• mouse + mousepad
• Lan Cable (optional)
• Lan repeater (optional, if you have one)
• a complete workspace, checked out and ready. see GnowsisDevelopingBeta
• Beer is sponsored by Leo (served either when serious tickets are solved or after 18:00)

Leo does not have a coffee-making device (only an inferiour) so Gunnar brings a press-cafetier and we should invest in a few kilos of good coffee. Gunnar volunteered to sponsor this.

Setup your computer for this

• Eclipse running
• Java 1.5 running
• Local copies of any javadoc you need (since bandwidth is limited)
• Download the following if you think you need the source to hack/trace. (binary libraries are already in gnowsis):
  • Jena 2.3
  • ARQ 1.2
  • Sesame2-alpha3
  • Sparql for sesame (sparql.sourceforge.net)

Check out the following from gnowsis.opendfki.de: NO Exceptions, we will stop doing dependencies through jars during the hack - and you need the projects to run anything.

• gnowsis-server
• gnowsis-util
• gnowsis
• enquire2006
• gnogo-comp
• Jena2Sesame
• lucenesail
• DFKIUtils2

Agenda

We try thing after thing to get a service running, so that it answers. It does not necessarily have to work well, just do something.

Thursday

• wiki:Gunnar : ConfigurationStorage
• DanielBurkhart: ConfigurationWindow
• DominikHeim: MiniquireGui
• FlorianMittag: PimoService (full impl)
• BenjaminHorak: TaggingApi

Friday

• wiki:Gunnar : ApertureConfigurationService, ApertureSynchroniser
• FlorianMittag: PimoService and searching it
• DominikHeim: MiniquireGui
• BenjaminHorak: TaggingApi

Saturday

• FlorianMittag: PimoService + UseCaseShowThing
• DominikHeim: UseCasePersonalBlog
• BenjaminHorak: UseCaseTagging

Results

• MiniquireGui: 60% - creation of classes, things and deletion work
• PimoThingEditor - UseCaseShowThing: 10% - Gui shows and we know howto query.
• PimoService: 80% - most inference works, all functions do something
• PimoStorage 90%
• ResourceStorage 90%
• ConfigurationWindow: 50% - buggy but the most important stuff is here
• TaggingApi + webinterface: 50% - they work but have to be tested
• UseCasePersonalBlog: 10% - the basic gui is there. combined with ThingEditor, it is low effort.

not done:

• UseCaseTagging
• UseCasePersonalBlog
