Photos from our welcome back party and Software Freedom Day.
Software Freedom Day was a bit too soon for us to organize a big event. Classes just started and the student organization hadn't yet to have their first meeting. There was also the welcome back party sponsored by the school of engineering. We simply combined Software Freedom Day with the party. Our plan was to have some freebies from SUN to give out to students. My Software Freedom Day kit didn't get to me in time. We ended up distributing some of the older Netbeans and Solaris CDs left over from last year. We also distributed some Ubuntu CDs the club made.
The IEEECS have bought a SunSPOT kit from last year. One of their goal was to develop a wireless game controller. Here, we are letting students play the game Echoes from Binary Zoo. We had wanted to created a controller for a first person shooter game, but decided it was perhaps easier to go with the game Echoes. Jeremy brought his own projector and a white board to be used as the screen. Jason Koranda also brought his 32 inches HD TV to show SunSPOT and open source videos. Unfortunatelly, the computer had no wifi card. Jonathan helped set up the game and the SunSPOT.
