- [20:11] <@tboat> *begin
- [20:11] <indylarry> I have dabbled in C and Python, but would say I am still a beginner.
- [20:11] <FRodrigues_> BrotherGA2: boas!
- [20:11] <nitrosage> being=begin
- [20:11] <ArexBawrin> if we can't do python i wouldn't mind trying a functional language
- [20:11] <mdonova33> I'd like to learn Java
- [20:11] <neTTos> Hello Everyone!
- [20:11] <OJL> if the ocean is the knowledge of python, i have only a drops worth of experience.
- [20:11] <Fast_Absorbing> ArexBawrin: Not a bad idea, Haskell?
- [20:11] <miyako> ArexBawrin: haskell :)
- [20:11] <nitrosage> hello neTTos
- [20:11] <OJL> but i'm supar interested.
- [20:11] <ArexBawrin> That's what I was thinking:)
- [20:11] <Kennythehitman> Haskell is amazing
- [20:11] <camel_Snake> i'd be okay with a functional language
- [20:11] <Justin_> I have to learn OCaml next year for school

- [20:12] <boe> well you know what they say, to iterate is human, to recurse divine
- [20:12] <Fast_Absorbing> Cormophyte: I know the feeling :P
- [20:12] <Cormophyte> Just never had a use for it after I learned syntax and structure, currently getting back into the swing with ObjC
- [20:12] <@tboat> Is there anyone who hasn't introduced themselves that would like to?
- [20:12] <Rosur> Haskell would be interesting to learn
- [20:12] <theiris> What are we talking about now? My internet died
- [20:12] <centigrade233_> still intros
- [20:13] <camel_Snake> boe haha i like that
- [20:13] <Kennythehitman> I would love to dive deeper into Haskell
- [20:13] <theiris> Did you get my intro?
- [20:13] <@tboat> Well if there are no more introductions...
- [20:13] <@tboat> dont believe so theiris, think you logged
- [20:13] <Marshall_H> Lets start the real discussion if there's no more intros. I'm super excited there's such an array (haa) of people here
- [20:13] <theiris> Hs senior interested inCS, currently writing web app in python. and pulling hair out over web scraping
- [20:13] <theiris> there xD
- [20:14] <@tboat> Haha welcome iris!
- [20:14] <Daniel110> My name is daniel and i am a college student. I have been programming for over a year mostly in python. I love building web applications ( with Django ) but i don't really mind what am i building or with what tool, i just like hacking stuff around and seeing a result. I am also fairly proficient in Javascript and Java.
- [20:14] <Kennythehitman> theiris: Which framework are you using, if any?
- [20:14] <@tboat> Hey daniel!
- [20:14] <Kennythehitman> Daniel110: Django brofist
- [20:14] <Seve> Hs Senior, lot
- [20:14] <Seve> 's of web stuff
- [20:14] <Seve> woops
- [20:14] <OJL> premature enter-ation.
- [20:15] <neTTos> Kennythehitman: I'm running Drupal, compare with Django?
- [20:15] <Rosur> I do want to learn django go well with my html and css skills
- [20:15] <ArexBawrin> i would be interested in web dev with python as well
- [20:16] <Kennythehitman> neTTos: Personally I hate Drupal, more specifically I hate the templating system in Drupal
- [20:16] <neTTos> Python > PHP
- [20:16] <@tboat> Well it was good meeting everyone :) First off, thank you for coming, and I have to say, impressed with the turnout! So from being here in chat the last couple hours, and the current survey results, show python and C++ are the two most sought after languages
- [20:16] <Kennythehitman> I dont know if it's improved since I've used it though
- [20:16] <OJL> anyone for artificial intelligence / machine learning / natural language processing?
- [20:16] <Kennythehitman> I believe they are now using some components from symfony2
- 03[20:16] * Bradford (~Bradford@169.237.188.89) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative

- 06[20:16] * OJL waves to Bradford
- [20:16] <BrotherGA2> Hello Bradford, welcome!
- [20:16] <Bradford> I JUST found this on reddit
- [20:17] <Kennythehitman> Drupal sites usually fit a certain mould though, so it depends on your particular project
- [20:17] <bti> OJL: would love to learn about natural language processing. so many ideas for uses but no idea how it works
- 01[20:17] <gabe1118> tboat: should probably use a different color if thats possible for announcements
- [20:17] <Bradford> i really want to learn to program better
- [20:17] <Marshall_H> Hey guys, lets keep it related to the main topic defined by tboat, don't want to be a dick about it but lets try to keep it on topic for now :]
- [20:17] <neTTos> OJL: Yeah NLP!
- [20:17] <Marshall_H> The faster we define the project etc, the quicker we can get to programming :]
- [20:17] <Bradford> i jsut joined what did tboat talk about?
- [20:18] <ArexBawrin> Bradford: just introductions
- [20:18] <bti> introductions, go ahead
- [20:18] <Daniel110> Are we working on one single project? or do you want to divide in groups?
- [20:18] <Kennythehitman> I thought we were still letting introductions be posted?
- [20:18] <miyako> tboat: I would put forth for consideration that in addition to what people want to learn, we should consider what skills people already have. It seems like it would be best to pick technologies that at least one or two people are comfortable with so that they can mentor.
- [20:18] <OJL> please introduce
- [20:19] <Fast_Absorbing> Daniel110: We still haven't decided :S
- [20:19] <neTTos> tboat: Also technologies that are freeish...
- [20:19] <Justin_> ^
- [20:19] <Kennythehitman> If Python and C++ are the top 2, what about breaking off into 2 groups and developing 2 different projects initially?
- [20:19] <OJL> if its alright with the group i would like to snowball the idea of dividing into groups. I'm terribly interested in learning python and AI/ML/NLP. if anyone else is interested throw me a PM..
- [20:19] <Fast_Absorbing> neTTos: This this this, we should start out promoting Free as in Freedom in our software
- [20:19] <Kennythehitman> OJL: Exactly
- [20:20] <neTTos> OJL: Have you looked at the Stanford NLP libraries?
- [20:20] <OJL> neTTos i'm working throw the andrew ng lectures and another set of lectures i found online
- [20:20] <neTTos> Fast_Absorbing: not even that, but just something that we can all access, which is usually free as in free beer software

- 03[20:21] * tboat changes topic to 'Ok So Meeting Updates are going to come through here, so pay attention! Some quick info from the survey: Three Way tie between Computer Program, Web App, and Other. People want to learn Python, C++, ASM, C# and Java. I believe we have enough interests/people to have multiple projects. Thoughts?'
- [20:21] <baffler> everything is free on the internet
- [20:21] <Marshall_H> Seve: most of us
- [20:21] <Kennythehitman> I like Linux
- [20:21] <mdonova33> Are we ready to start?
- [20:21] <theiris> OJL: I'm with you on python & AI
- [20:21] <neTTos> Lets all get Macs and become Mac guys
- [20:21] <Kennythehitman> I'm running Debian w/ awesomewm
- [20:21] <Fast_Absorbing> BSD here
- [20:21] <nitrosage> I think with the amazing turnout, it would make most sense to split up
- [20:21] <camel_Snake> i like the multiple projects idea
- 01[20:21] <gabe1118> split into three groups?
- [20:21] <OJL> Seve, crunchbang and ubuntu
- [20:21] <Daniel110> I think we should break into 3 groups (web, desktop, mobile) for web we can use (python, javascript, and html/css) for desktop(c++) and mobile(java, objc) what do you think?
- [20:22] <nitrosage> I agree Daniel
- [20:22] <Marshall_H> Re Topic: I'd like to write a Web App with Python and some data-base aspect; alternative also Ruby Rails with SQL/Heroku
- [20:22] <nitrosage> thats an awesome idea
- [20:22] <Kennythehitman> Daniel110: actually, web/desktop/mobile is even better
- [20:22] <Kennythehitman> Nic
- 02[20:22] * thearrowflies (~thearrowf@unaffiliated/thearrowflies) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
- [20:22] <miyako> I think that splitting into separate projects should be a last resort. Depending on the architecture of the application we could easily have some people working on a C/C++/whatever backend application that is used by a python webapp frontend

- [20:22] <Bradford> What about people that are completely new to programming? I have some experience but it seems to me that you guys simply have more
- [20:22] <neTTos> Webapp/Scientific Software/Mobile Game?
- [20:22] <@tboat> For people who came late, here is the survey: http://goo.gl/M9zMq
- [20:22] <Filter_> We have an awesome turn out now, but who will actually stick with the project longterm? We need to stay on one project until we prove that we can complete something.
- [20:22] <Marshall_H> Bradford: don't worry, a lot of us are noobs.
- [20:22] <OJL> Bradford I think a good idea is setting up a mentor system.
- [20:22] <Kennythehitman> hmm
- [20:23] <ArexBawrin> Overall, I just want to learn how to work with other programmers. I've never done that before.
- [20:23] <nitrosage> @Bradform, yea we are all noobs. If I was you I would start with Python
- [20:23] <@tboat> Good point Filter
- [20:23] <Kennythehitman> Filter_: true
- [20:23] <OJL> Bradford, why not piggy back on the back of a project that is starting and ask one of the seniors to help out.
- [20:23] <Bradford> So should we have "group leaders" that have the most experience
- [20:23] <Rosur> I plan to stick this out be good experince i think
- [20:23] <@tboat> nitrosage not all noobs!
- [20:23] <nitrosage> lol

- [20:25] <OJL> Re Topic: Yes!
- [20:25] <Withremote> Sure
- [20:25] <miyako> I like the idea of an ice breaker project
- [20:25] <Fast_Absorbing> That does sound good
- [20:25] <neTTos> something to get used to versioning
- [20:25] <bti> sure
- [20:25] <nitrosage> noob here agrees
- [20:25] <TheDuceCat> YEP
- [20:25] <Fast_Absorbing> But, we don't all write the same language
- [20:25] <Filter_> Ice breaker is a very good way to put it
- [20:25] <nitrosage> We could just do a website, for our project
- [20:26] <Kennythehitman> What was the top language, Python?
- [20:26] <theiris> yesyes
- [20:26] <Bradford> i like the idea of a website
- 03[20:26] * baffler|2 (~kvirc@aw-193-145-68-199.appalachianwireless.com) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative
- [20:26] <indylarry> Would be a good warm up to see how we will function
- [20:26] <@tboat> Yes the top language is python
- [20:26] <OJL> so far, python is winning.
- [20:26] <TheDuceCat> py is easy
- [20:26] <Kennythehitman> I recommend Flask, it's a great microframework.
- [20:26] <theiris> who doesnt know python here?
- [20:26] <nitrosage> have profiles for all of us
- [20:26] <Withremote> No experice in python , only php
- 06[20:26] * OJL raises hand.
- [20:26] <Bradford> i dont know pyhton

- [20:26] <Fast_Absorbing> Python backend, javascript w/ jquery frontend?
- [20:26] <@tboat> welcome baffler!
- [20:26] <TheDuceCat> i picked up python in a day
- [20:26] <TheDuceCat> it's really easy to learn
- [20:26] <Kennythehitman> Django is full stack which isn't exactly what our site would need

- 03[20:26] * baffler|2 is now known as baffler
- [20:26] <theiris> i picked up python pretty quickly too
- [20:26] <ArexBawrin> yay python!
- [20:26] <miyako> I'm not great with python, but I don't really want to work with it
- [20:26] <boe> well a little bit, only the learn python the hard way stuff
- [20:27] <theiris> do we want to start this project after a few days or so
- [20:27] <camel_Snake> i don't know python
- [20:27] <theiris> so that the non pythonic people
- [20:27] <Marshall_H> I think python is the best since it's widely used, not too hard to pick up, and quite powerful
- [20:27] <Fast_Absorbing> miyako: you could maybe concentrate more on backend?
- [20:27] <Justin_> teaching myself python now...but if you know another language its extremely easy to pick up
- [20:27] <baffler> er, got disconnected, not sure if you saw this:
- [20:27] <baffler> I was thinking something like 3 projects, 1 will be super easy (with easy to pick up language) just for learning, 2 will be more advanced (language could be whatevcer is most desired), 3 is hardcore for really advanced stuff, like very OOP and such
- [20:27] <TheDuceCat> python weakness is its deployment
- [20:27] <Fast_Absorbing> Although, why would it need a backend? surely it would just be a static site with news etc?
- [20:27] <ArexBawrin> side question: why is php so much easier to pick up for webdev than python? Or is that just a noob opinion?
- [20:27] <TheDuceCat> but it's not too terrible
- [20:27] <TheDuceCat> i don't like php
- [20:27] <theiris> i found python easier than php
- [20:27] <TheDuceCat> just a weird syntax (for me)
- [20:27] <bti> ArexBawrin: super easy to deploy
- [20:28] <BrotherGA2> We could work on similar projects but have different groups work in different languages, so then we could compare the approaches at the end, perhaps?
- [20:28] <nitrosage> I havent really tried Python for webdev

- [20:28] <TheDuceCat> ehhh
- [20:28] <camel_Snake> i like that idea
- [20:28] <miyako> I'd like to point out that if we do a web app of any sort, someone will have to get hosting
- [20:28] <Kennythehitman> PHP has a funky syntax and it's too easy for new coders to write ugly code with it.
- [20:28] <TheDuceCat> ^
- [20:28] <Daniel110> I still think the idea of 3 projects (web, mobile, desktop) is the best. We can even divide these 3 categories into other groups for example in web dev a group can work with python and another with ruby or in mobile a group can develop for android and another for ios
- [20:28] <TheDuceCat> especially with a team clean code is key
- 03[20:28] * tboat changes topic to 'So a warm up project eh? A website has been proposed as the first, this would allow for beginners to their foot in the door with some scripts (python, javascript, others mentioned) and give us a more central place to organize projects/host git repos/etc. Any opposed to a website as our first collaboration?'
- [20:28] <Marshall_H> If people want to do webdev/etc, Ruby on Rails with Heroku/SQL may be a good option (I've been wanting to try it and I've heard good things!), but honestly Python seems like the best
- [20:28] <OJL> how about a friendly inhouse contest? that way we can gauge everyones skill level and then break off into groups accordingly
- [20:28] <bti> heroku has a free plan for a single domain
- [20:28] <camel_Snake> it seems picking up a new language would be easier if you were looking at code that does the same thing as something you've written in a 'native' language
- [20:28] <Marshall_H> RE Topic: I'm +1 for that
- [20:28] <timg> python has an incredible amount of libraries ready to go
- [20:28] <Kennythehitman> Rails is getting too bloated
- [20:29] <neTTos> I think the 3 groups should be like Web-Cool Webapp, Desktop - Scientific Programming, Mobile - A mobile game
- [20:29] <OJL> +1 neTTos
- [20:29] <Seve> +1
- [20:29] <OJL> i'm for desktop
- [20:29] <Kennythehitman> Heroku would be great, it supports Python frameworks now
- [20:29] <camel_Snake> sinatra is a good alternative to rails no?
- [20:29] <nitrosage> this is getting out of hand
- [20:29] <@tboat> my personal opinion, website would be good for organization and since python is the most wanted language currently, a good place to start with teaching people/expanding on concepts
- [20:29] <nitrosage> who is opposed to the warm up project
- [20:29] <Daniel110> It doesn't really matters, as long as we make a decision. This discussion is turning into a language flame war.
- [20:29] <nitrosage> we ant have 3 warm up projects
- [20:29] <Withremote> So I should try and learn python this week?
- [20:30] <timg> nitrosage: we should have one projects.
- [20:30] <TheDuceCat> watch thenewboston's python videos
- [20:30] <gettavia> +1 but desktop shouldnt be scientific. it would intimidate less-sciencey people
- [20:30] <Kennythehitman> Sinatra is indeed a clean framework, but the poll is telling us Py is at the top.
- [20:30] <TheDuceCat> they are excellent
- [20:30] <Daniel110> Withremote: what language do you already know?
- [20:30] <ArexBawrin> OJL: I like the contest to gauge where everyone is at skill-wise
- [20:30] <miyako> tboat: I'm on board with that, although we might want to have stuff for non-python people to do in order to stay involved
- [20:30] <Fast_Absorbing> OJL: I like that
- [20:30] <Withremote> Php primarily,
- [20:30] <TheDuceCat> picking up python is very easy
- [20:30] <@tboat> miyako: i completely agree, was about to topic update about that
- [20:30] <Bradford> skill level contest is good idea
- [20:30] <nitrosage> @ArexB, yea thats a cool idea as well

- [20:32] <Bradford> I would feel bad if i held a group behind due to my skill level but im always willing to learn
- [20:32] <Fast_Absorbing> gabe1118: Effort though, and we would have to read each others code
- [20:32] <miyako> I have a fairly long suggestion on this, just saying this so everyone knows to expect a wall of text from me in a minute
- [20:32] <baffler> I'm not all that interested in python, maybe some html5 stuff, I wanna get into that
- [20:32] <Kennythehitman> So even people who dont like Python may participate in the web dev
- [20:32] <smashitup> what do we want to make? maybe we should pick something to make, and figure out the best language from there
- [20:32] <OJL> tboat, suggestion. make 3 more channels.
- [20:32] <bti> Bradford: that's the point of this whole thing (to learn)
- [20:32] <OJL> one mobile, one desktop, one web
- [20:32] <OJL> and then have people start splitting off accordingly
- [20:32] <Daniel110> for A web application i was thinking that we could build a simple social network for programmers where they can share code, ideas, projects, libraries, and even meet people that share their same interests. What do you think?
- [20:33] <TheDuceCat> i like it but let's wait for ideas
- [20:33] <nitrosage> i think github has that covered
- 03[20:33] * tboat changes topic to 'Python is the most wanted, but understandably not everyone here is looking for that. There are many scripting languages to be used online, and I think this first project is more about working as a group and finalizing something. Thoughts?'

- [20:33] <nitrosage> really nicele
- [20:33] <miyako> I think that the idea of having a warm-up project is good, we need a website as a hub for the project, and there are obviously people who want to work on a web app, so it would be a good chance for those people to dive in. I think that breaking up into teams is a reasonable idea given that there are different interests, but I'd like to see those teams working collaboratively on a project that has multiple compon

- [20:33] <timg> can you mix python and html5?

- [20:33] <Kennythehitman> timg: Yes, of course.
- [20:33] <miyako> I would suggest that perhaps we decide on a "main project" to work on in addition to agreeing to do the warm up project

- [20:33] <Marshall_H> IRC clients are pretty easy.
- [20:33] <Kennythehitman> I agree with miyako
- [20:33] <miyako> since this would take a lot more planning, the people who are not intersted in doing web stuff could work on an overall design and architecture for the main project
- [20:33] <camel_Snake> TheDuceCat BRILLIANT!
- 01[20:34] <gabe1118> Marshall_H exactly
- [20:34] <neTTos> If we have a website, we need a server.
- [20:34] <Kennythehitman> We have to find a way to have all the moving parts relate to each othe rin some way
- [20:34] <miyako> at that point, everyone has been engaged, and when the people who have been doing the website are ready, we'll have some direction for them to focus on
- [20:34] <Daniel110> www.progconnect.com
- [20:34] <miyako> it will also make it a lot easier to develop a website if we know what sort of actual project we are going to be working on

- [20:40] <Fast_Absorbing> centigrade233: for multiplayer websockets are a must
- 03[20:40] * tboat changes topic to 'Meeting Recap Thus Far: Our "warm up"/Into project is going to be our website! However, for the more experienced/brave a main project will be started, OJL has suggested a Scientific Desktop Application. Will we be working towards a profit? Completely open source? For science?'
- [20:41] <TheDuceCat> prob open source
- [20:41] <Kennythehitman> re topic: FOSS FTW
- [20:41] <Fast_Absorbing> We would have to be open source
- [20:41] <OJL> open source
- [20:41] <boe> open source ftw
- [20:41] <Rosur> open source would be best
- [20:41] <OJL> profit is 2nd project.
- [20:41] <baffler> ??? PROFIT!
- [20:41] <Fast_Absorbing> Otherwise how would we invite more noobs? We can't vet each one
- [20:41] <Magzter> open source
- [20:41] <neTTos> For Science!
- [20:41] <miyako> I think that we should make the application Free Software and use an open source development model
- [20:41] <theiris> oopen soource
- [20:41] <nitrosage> open
- [20:41] <camel_Snake> definitely FOSS
- 01[20:41] <gabe1118> opensource github?
- [20:42] <neTTos> We should build the website, see who sticks around and then split up into projects
- [20:42] <Rosur> too much arguing would come about from a profit thing :P
- [20:42] <Withremote> github likely
- [20:42] <calzone21> alright, now how would we go about assembling everyone to where they can best contribute? I know we have a lot of people here from different programming backgrounds
- [20:42] <Fast_Absorbing> gabe1118: Yes, tboat should start an Organization
- [20:42] <Justin__> +1 neTTos
- [20:42] <miyako> I think that a "scientific desktop application" is far to generic of a project, and likely to never be finished due to eternal scope creep
- [20:42] <gettavia> +1 miyako
- [20:42] <Filter_> I'm going to file the LLC in oregon, it will allow for new investors.
- [20:42] <nitrosage> +1 miyako
- [20:42] <TheDuceCat> +1 miyako
- [20:42] <OJL> tboat can you toss #greenentry in the topic next to my desktop app thing
- [20:42] <Bradford> whats #greenenery?
- [20:43] <Bradford> greenentry
- [20:43] <neTTos> miyako: that's true, but it could be something very specific if we wanted it to be.
- [20:43] <baffler> I'm with neTTos, get the website going as a group, then we can build stuff into the website to setup new projects for those who stick around
- [20:43] <OJL> where i would like to speak to anyone who is interested in python and machine learning concepts
- [20:43] <intothev01d> if you're looking for a github organization that has open source projects available by other redactors we have one. check out https://github.com/LearnProgramming
- 03[20:43] * tboat changes topic to 'Open Source overwhelmingly taken! Is there a specific scientific application you all would want to make?'
- [20:43] <OJL> but i'm definitely still into the main project
- [20:43] <baffler> probably best to have 1 project to start off with
- [20:43] <intothev01d> redditors*
- [20:43] <OJL> +1 bafflr
- [20:43] <Fast_Absorbing> Wait, what happened with the web game to start with?
- [20:43] <OJL> i liek webgame start
- [20:43] <miyako> We should focus on something that doesn't require an overwhelming amount of domain expertise
- [20:44] <Fast_Absorbing> Snake is simple and easy to code and has a front-end and back-end
- [20:44] <timg> redactors!
- [20:44] <OJL> multiplayer snake sounds easy enough
- [20:44] <TheDuceCat> starting with game not good idea
- [20:44] <timg> i like a game
- [20:44] <OJL> why not? games cover all concepts
- [20:44] <baffler> wasn't sure if enough people wanted to start with game, but that would be fine too
- [20:44] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: Reasons why?
- [20:44] <TheDuceCat> i already made single player snake in python (SNAKE IN PYTHON LOL) if you want to see source code
- [20:44] <gettavia> a whole functioning website is too complex for non-experienced users to remain interested
- [20:44] <OJL> TheDuceCat yesplease
- [20:44] <TheDuceCat> i'll post the py file
- [20:44] <timg> TheDuceCat: put it on the group git?
- [20:44] <miyako> gettavia: I'm sure someone with experience will be willing to mentor
- [20:44] <centigrade233> don't you need a website first to put said webgame on?
- [20:44] <TheDuceCat> its not on github its just a zip atm
- [20:45] <timg> gettavia: I thought the website would be qutie basic
- [20:45] <Fast_Absorbing> centigrade233: No, you can host it locally
- [20:45] <Kennythehitman> gettavia: that's why we use a microframework and code purely what we need
- [20:45] <nitrosage> I dont mind workin on the website. That has been decided, no?
- [20:45] <timg> TheDuceCat: put it in the github!
- [20:45] <OJL> okay its dinner time for me, i'll be back in an hour or so. great speaking with you all. i'm throwing my vote in for multiplayer snake.
- [20:45] <timg> sweet
- [20:45] <neTTos> I have experience with Node.js and Websockets
- [20:45] <Fast_Absorbing> I have a server, i wouldn't mind webhosting if the project needs it
- [20:45] <baffler> I guess some work on the actual website, others work on the game if they aren't interested in the website? Or do both if you're up to it
- [20:45] <Fast_Absorbing> Could someone post the github url?
- [20:46] <Filter_> github.com
- [20:46] <Daniel110> Fast_Absorbing: thanks you are awesome that would be great
- [20:46] <Kennythehitman> +1 baffler
- [20:46] <TheDuceCat> where is the group git?
- [20:46] <nitrosage> there in none yet
- [20:46] <Fast_Absorbing> ¬.¬ hilarious, the group URL

- [20:46] <nitrosage> or anything
- [20:46] <timg> TheDuceCat: sorry, I was thinking about the learnprogramming github
- [20:46] <miyako> Here's an idea: what about an application that lets users take pictures and upload them, and works on building maps from all of the user photos. That would involve web, mobile, and a lot of backend code
- [20:46] <bti> what's this one https://github.com/LearnProgramming?
- [20:46] <OJL> yay
- [20:46] <Kennythehitman> Of course we'll have to have a website to promote our web game. :)
- [20:46] <nitrosage> I am Yay
- [20:47] <timg> yay
- [20:47] <timg> can we sign up for both?

- [20:49] <centigrade233> timg: obviously we need to start a kickstarter and wait for the millions to pour in

- [20:49] <timg> you can make a git server but don't get the fancy web interface
- [20:49] <G14> howdy
- [20:49] <timg> neTTos: what is?
- [20:50] <bti> timg: you can if you get a company account, lots of $$$$
- [20:50] <neTTos> lol nothing
- [20:50] <timg> bti: yea
- [20:50] <miyako> Atlassian offers free (or very cheap) hosting for open source projects
- [20:50] <Daniel110> guys i have to go, i can't believe that so many people showed up. I really like the idea of a website. I ll come back later to see what you have decided
- [20:50] <Filter_> later
- [20:50] <theiris> bye daniel
- [20:50] <bti> later
- [20:50] <@tboat> Later Daniel! Yes this turnout is awesome! Make sure to watch for a post on the sub!
- 01[20:51] <gabe1118> cya
- [20:51] <timg> we decided on a website and a game
- [20:51] <timg> I think...
- [20:51] <Fast_Absorbing> timg, sounds right
- [20:51] <timg> later on
- [20:51] <Withremote> as a web guy, i'm for a website
- [20:51] <Filter_> im not sure what we decided on yet
- [20:51] <bti> as am i
- [20:51] <timg> ok so what's next
- [20:51] <miyako> I think we agreed to do a website, possibly featuring a small game, as a starter project
- [20:51] <Filter_> wouldnt a website be too simple for all the resources we have?
- [20:51] <Kennythehitman> what miyako said
- [20:51] <timg> Filter_: it's easy to join a chat
- [20:51] <Daniel110> great so count me in for the website. Did you choose the language and framework yet? i don't mind python + django
- [20:51] <neTTos> Filter_: We gotta start somewhere
- [20:51] <Justin__> but its a great starting point
- [20:51] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter_: our resources are all very scattered, and we need some kind of plan
- [20:51] <Kennythehitman> Filter_: it's a starter project
- [20:51] <timg> getting people to contribute is different
- [20:51] <Withremote> build a website with a CMS that we build
- [20:52] <baffler> I thought we agreed to make millions of dollars?
- [20:52] <calzone21> would the website act as a hub for our projects?
- [20:52] <Justin__> and plus it will filter out A LOT of the people who wont stick around
- [20:52] <miyako> in the mean time we would begin to organize and design for a larger project for the people who followed through and wanted to continue with the project
- [20:52] <neTTos> baffler: exactly
- [20:52] <timg> baffler: that's exactly what we're doing here
- [20:52] <baffler> good
- [20:52] <Kennythehitman> calzone21: yes
- [20:52] <Filter_> Alright... I like the idea of filtering things
- [20:52] <timg> k
- [20:52] <timg> so step 1: website
- [20:52] <miyako> As of right now, we do not have a clear direction for what that followup project will be. People are interested in web, mobile, and "desktop" applications. We need suggestions for what problems we actually want to solve though.
- [20:52] <neTTos> Filter_: haha :D
- [20:52] <timg> what will be used to build said website?
- [20:52] <Kennythehitman> I humbly suggest Flask, the Python microframework.
- 03[20:52] * tboat changes topic to 'Recap: Python, C++, Java, Javascript are the current top most wanted languages. Our "warm up" project will be a website for organizing, a git repo, and a game. A second "main" desktop program will also be worked on. A signup will be created for these groups. Perhaps a second meeting tomorrow night or this week where we split into these groups?'
- [20:53] <calzone21> ok I am excited to get started :P
- [20:53] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter_: Can I absorb what you have filtered?
- [20:53] <G14> hey guys just joined, was there a decision on what language/stack for the site
- [20:53] <Filter_> Fast_Absorbing: sure ;)
- [20:53] <nitrosage> yea
- [20:53] <Filter_> yea we need to decide on a problem to solve
- [20:53] <Bradford> tboat soudns good to me! same time?
- [20:53] <Kennythehitman> It's easy to pick up and we can decide our own coupling.
- [20:53] <bti> what will the purpose of our site be? to feature our stuff?
- [20:53] <nitrosage> +1 tboat
- [20:53] <Kennythehitman> SQLAlchemy is a fantastic ORM
- [20:53] <boe> re: topic +1
- [20:53] <timg> tboat: an IRC channel for the website, and one for each other project?
- [20:53] <Kennythehitman> Jinja2 is a fantastic templating engine.
- [20:54] <calzone21> bti: yup, i beliive that's the plan
- [20:54] <miyako> I think the best approach is a primary IRC channel, with baby channels spawning off from it as required by the development teams
- [20:54] <nitrosage> creating irc chans is easy
- [20:54] <Daniel110> Django it's a fantastic framework
- [20:54] <@tboat> timg: i figure an IRC for the overall group, #ProgCollab, where we will begin meetings, then break into group IRC's
- [20:54] <Marshall_H> I was just helping my roommate print something, I'm guessing I missed a TON of stuff, can anyone TL;DR me?
- [20:54] <Rosur> django i want to learn mostlly
- [20:54] <timg> Marshall_H: there will be a log posted, I think
- [20:54] <TheDuceCat> i would love to do the game
- [20:54] <@tboat> Marshall_H, read my recap
- [20:54] <calzone21> agreed on django
- [20:54] <baffler> TL;DR: read the topic :P
- [20:54] <Kennythehitman> I'm working on a media platform application in Django. https://github.com/kennyledet/emp

- [20:55] <miyako> I'm on board with meeting tomorrow to break up into groups and talk about a direction forward for the second project
- [20:55] <Kennythehitman> Both Django and Flask are easy to learn, and are excellent frameworks.
- [20:55] <timg> ok, so should we just build the website with straight html?
- [20:55] <nitrosage> no
- [20:55] <Kennythehitman> The difference is mainly in the batteries included.
- [20:55] <zakbain> no
- [20:55] <ArexBawrin> How can inexperienced programmers (me) participate in these warmup projects? I know a little python...
- [20:55] <nitrosage> Javascript, Python, PHP/MySQL backend
- [20:56] <nitrosage> Website project
- [20:56] <G14> html isnt a programming language, so that would defeat the purpose

- [21:03] <Bradford> I oppose
- [21:03] <Bradford> but it seems like the majority prefers 7pm
- [21:03] <SlimTim10> it's my subtle way of saying how obfuscated this "meeting" has become ;)
- [21:03] <miyako> honestly, that went a little better than I had expected, but not as well as I had hoped
- [21:03] <intothev01d> nice
- [21:03] <FRodrigues_> i prefer 7pm!
- [21:03] <Fast_Absorbing> Bradford: the meeting will inevitably overrun like todays
- [21:04] <Withremote> 7pm is good
- [21:04] <BrotherGA2> FRodrigues_, yes... for those of us in europe... 8PM is pretty late XD
- [21:04] <Rosur> 7pm would be slightly better as its midnight here in the uk but 8pms allright.

- [21:10] <TheDuceCat> great language
- [21:10] <BrotherGA2> Good night everyone! Valar morghulis, etc.
- [21:10] <Fast_Absorbing> let me again plug my Pi idea, which already has a github associated ;D

- [21:10] <TheDuceCat> PSA to all noobs to python: watch this video series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mf0h3HphEA
- [21:10] <Filter_> are you hoping to find the last digit of pi?

- [21:11] <timg> i did some vb in highschool
- [21:11] <Kennythehitman> VB :/
- [21:11] <Filter_> gui interface in visual basic to track the killer
- [21:11] <timg> but I don't want to talk about it.
- [21:11] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter_: track the IP*
- [21:12] <Filter_> Fast_Absorbing: ahhh yes
- [21:12] <miyako> I think we should have the community elect someone to manage things like domains, etc.
- [21:12] <Fast_Absorbing> We should both type of the same keyboard to write it, get it done faster ;)
- [21:12] <DarkEnergy> i'm just trying to get my program to start up minimized (the the task bar) when windows starts
- [21:12] <thearrowflies> the dictator does, duhh.

- [21:12] <TheDuceCat> for the game we could use straight up JS or pyjs

- [21:14] <Bradford> @tboat awesome!
- 01[21:14] <gabe1118> nice
- [21:14] <Fast_Absorbing> I would prefer just Javascript and Python seperately
- [21:14] <Filter_> yes
- [21:14] <DarkEnergy> javascript is really nice
- [21:14] <Filter_> its better to code the language you are using
- [21:14] <miyako> Is there an elected position I can have that means I get all of the credit without having any responsibility? :P

- [21:15] <TheDuceCat> dart lang is awesome but not widely supported yet
- [21:15] <Fast_Absorbing> DarkEnergy: I don't know about that, but it would be confusing for nooblets to write frontend in python, and other reasons

- [21:15] <Kennythehitman> I think we should determine who the officers are a little ways into the project, possibly depending on who actually contributes enough
- [21:15] <centigrade233_> ^
- [21:15] <Kennythehitman> And how well done the contributions are
- [21:16] <centigrade233_> although we'd need some sort of initial organization
- [21:16] <TheDuceCat> take the survey again?
- [21:16] <G14> Question/Proposition: Since the primary objective is to progress learning of a programming language, should we not split up into groups by interest in language, then those groups can decide what project to tackle with it. not trying to rock the boat, just a suggestion
- [21:16] <TheDuceCat> oh its updated
- [21:16] <Kennythehitman> True
- [21:16] <miyako> Kennythehitman: I agree, but I do think we should have a couple of people temporarily elected to head things up, we will need leadership the most when we are trying to get things started
- [21:16] <Fast_Absorbing> Kennythehitman: but leaders are not necessarily the best coders
- [21:16] <@tboat> TheDuceCat, did you take it after the update?

- [21:16] <@tboat> g14 go back and read the log when i post it, its not broken up based on language
- [21:17] <Kennythehitman> How should we decide initially?
- [21:17] <miyako> Fast_Absorbing: true, but coding skills aside, I think that in time natural leaders will emerge, we just need to elect people to cover the gap so that we don't end up stationary with everyone failing to go in a direction and get things done
- [21:17] <Kennythehitman> Based on concrete examples of experience?
- [21:17] <miyako> Kennythehitman: I'd suggest going to experience, willingness to actually participate, etc.
- [21:17] <G14> @tboat i know it currently isn't, which is why i propose it should be

- [21:17] <Fast_Absorbing> miyako: I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying that if we choose people based on coding ability we may end up with the quiet types instead of strong-headed types

- [21:17] <Duce> i'm going to be Duce from now on
- [21:18] <Duce> just letting you know

- [21:18] <Duce> you know what i'll stay theducecat to keep it simple
- 03[21:18] * Duce is now known as TheDuceCat
- 01[21:18] <gabe1118> if there are no forced leaders, because of the lack of experience, the groups might fall apart
- [21:18] <Fast_Absorbing> miyako: vote on who you would like best to lead you?
- [21:18] <miyako> I think since tboat is the current benevolent dictator, anyone interested in helping out in a leadership position should contact him with a "resume" and then he can nominate people he things would be a good fit for initial leaders
- [21:18] <Filter_> first we need to figure out how to split the groups up then we can pick leaders

- [21:19] <TheDuceCat> does the game have to be a web game?

- 01[21:20] <gabe1118> what does the bot do?
- [21:20] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: no, but why shouldn't it be?
- [21:20] <bti> TheDuceCat: any reason it shouldn't?
- [21:20] <Kennythehitman> I also think tboat should decide to narrow it down
- [21:20] <miyako> Bradford: I think in the long term that will work, but for now we don't know each other, so people can't really make a reasonable decision on voting
- [21:20] <TheDuceCat> pygame is great for game development
- [21:20] <thearrowflies> its default supybot, so not much
- [21:20] <TheDuceCat> and its cross platform
- [21:20] <Kennythehitman> Then the narrowed down list could be voted upon by everyone
- [21:20] <TheDuceCat> and it's pretty easy to grasp
- [21:21] <TheDuceCat> js for bigger projects can get a little crazy
- [21:21] <@tboat> do pastebins expire?
- [21:21] <centigrade233_> no
- [21:21] <TheDuceCat> you can st them to

- [21:21] <TheDuceCat> pygame is great
- [21:21] <miyako> tboat: not by default, but you can set a timeout value on them
- [21:21] <TheDuceCat> so is LOVE2D but we're sticking with Python
- [21:21] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: could write a front-end drawing program and run the game server-side

- [21:23] <Filter_> javascript is the future
- [21:23] <miyako> Fast_Absorbing: hopefully one thing people will learn in this project is that just because something is sexy doesn't make it the correct technical choice :)
- [21:23] <thearrowflies> sockets in java suck >.> partly because they dont work
- [21:23] <TheDuceCat> i hate js
- [21:24] <TheDuceCat> it's not that it's terrible
- [21:24] <TheDuceCat> it's that it's a forced language
- [21:24] <TheDuceCat> somewhat
- [21:24] <Fast_Absorbing> thearrowflies: node.js is javascript, and socket.io is websockets

- [21:25] <TheDuceCat> there's something about it
- [21:26] <Filter_> C++ in the browser
- [21:26] <Filter_> we can invent it
- [21:26] <TheDuceCat> it has been
- [21:26] <TheDuceCat> NaCL
- [21:26] <miyako> Filter_: google has that, it hasn't seen much adoption
- [21:26] <Filter_> salt?
- [21:26] <Filter_> ill check it out
- [21:26] <TheDuceCat> yes table salt
- [21:26] <Kennythehitman> tboat: I'll also volunteer as a mentor for the web development group, if that's alright with you
- [21:26] <miyako> C++ isn't an ideal language to have running on top of a sandboxed environment IMHO
- [21:26] <TheDuceCat> yeah it's not very popular atm
- [21:27] <TheDuceCat> i still like pygame
- [21:27] <miyako> I think something like Lua would be a better choice for web scripting
- [21:27] <TheDuceCat> lua?
- [21:27] <TheDuceCat> i like the lang
- 01[21:27] <gabe1118> i know mostly java/html if a mentor is needed for those languages
- [21:27] <TheDuceCat> very lightweight, very fast

- [21:27] <miyako> TheDuceCat: it's a language designed to be embedded into other applications, lightweight and fast, used a lot in games
- 03[21:27] * timg (4840d75a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.72.64.215.90) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative
- [21:28] <TheDuceCat> oh yeah i love lua
- [21:28] <TheDuceCat> what about java for the game?
- [21:28] <TheDuceCat> cross platform, fairly easy
- [21:28] <TheDuceCat> i've done java game dev with slick2d
- [21:28] <TheDuceCat> it's simple
- 01[21:28] <gabe1118> theyre usuing lua on /r/Hawkthorne and its turning out nice
- [21:28] <TheDuceCat> i made block dude with custom levels in a few days

- [21:29] <timg_> damn webchat sucks
- 01[21:29] <gabe1118> slick and lwjgl are good and simpler to learn than java without an external lib
- [21:29] <TheDuceCat> wait i did block dude without any libs
- [21:29] <TheDuceCat> i forgot
- [21:29] <TheDuceCat> just plain old java no external libs
- 01[21:30] <gabe1118> i did a zombie game with no libs but the fps was so low it was not that fun
- [21:30] <TheDuceCat> our options are java, pygame, js?
- [21:30] <TheDuceCat> c++ maybe but it might be too complicated
- [21:30] <TheDuceCat> i love c++
- [21:30] <TheDuceCat> but some others might get lost and confused
- [21:31] <Fast_Absorbing> But these ideas don't include many new people

- [21:31] <miyako> C++ is like someone tried to make an octopus by nailing extra legs to a dog
- [21:31] <Bradford> how will we deal with people who do not know the language but want to participate in the project?
- [21:31] <TheDuceCat> miyako that is a great desc. of c++
- [21:31] <centigrade233> things are getting technical-ish, that's my cue to leave
- [21:31] <Fast_Absorbing> Bradford: exactly
- 02[21:31] * jtrip_ (450eb52f@gateway/web/freenode/ip.69.14.181.47) Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
- [21:31] <centigrade233> bye!
- [21:31] <Filter__> .
- [21:31] <TheDuceCat> js, pygame, java
- 02[21:31] * centigrade233 (ad36801b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.54.128.27) Quit (Client Quit)
- [21:31] <miyako> Bradford: I think the idea is for the mentors to help direct those people and answer questions to guide them into making patches that they can submit
- 01[21:31] <gabe1118> learn the hard way (which is by doing)
- [21:31] <Fast_Absorbing> a web game means there are more than one language involved, involving more decs

- [21:31] <Fast_Absorbing> devs*
- [21:32] <Bradford> okay i see
- 02[21:32] * timg (4840d75a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.72.64.215.90) Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
- [21:32] <TheDuceCat> i guess
- [21:33] <TheDuceCat> js front end python back end?
- [21:33] <TheDuceCat> or maybe node?
- [21:33] <miyako> I just thought of something; we should probably think about at the next meeting maybe establishing some community codes of conduct. Nothing too onerous but just something to make sure things stay friendly and people aren't feeling denigrated or left out
- [21:33] <TheDuceCat> +1
- [21:33] <Kennythehitman> TheDuceCat: we could do the actual game frontend/backend in JS entirely, using Node yes
- [21:33] <Filter__> if we split the front end and the back end that would give more people a chance to code in something they like/konw
- [21:34] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter__: _1
- [21:34] <Kennythehitman> The simple website we were discussing for a startup project could be done in a microframework
- [21:34] <TheDuceCat> i'm still in love with pygame
- [21:34] <timg_> geeze miyako
- [21:34] <timg_> anything you do like?
- [21:34] <miyako> timg_: I like a lot of things, but that doesn't stop me from complaining about them :P
- [21:35] <timg_> ;)
- [21:35] <Kennythehitman> And then this website would contain the actual hub in which our projects are hosted
- [21:35] <Kennythehitman> I should say accessible, rather
- 02[21:35] * boe (~blank@c-24-5-12-49.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
- [21:35] <TheDuceCat> what about a java or pygame client with a server back end for multi/high scores
- [21:36] <timg_> so, tell us about iFapper
- [21:36] <Kennythehitman> timg: hahaha
- 02[21:36] * Cormophyte (~cormophyt@99-177-186-198.lightspeed.lsanca.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPad - http://colloquy.mobi)
- [21:36] <Kennythehitman> I did it for a friend, honestly
- [21:36] <timg_> :)
- [21:36] <Kennythehitman> my own ideas were ripplr and 4channer
- [21:37] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: The problem is that the hgihscores are normally easy to hack in some way
- [21:37] <Filter__> alright guys... i wish i could stay until there was no one left in here but i have some stuff to take care of, mainly hunger.
- [21:37] <Filter__> its been fun, ill see you guys tomorrow
- [21:37] <Fast_Absorbing> Bye Filter__
- [21:37] <miyako> take it easy Filter__
- [21:37] <Kennythehitman> bye
- 02[21:37] * Filter__ (485b4854@gateway/web/freenode/ip.72.91.72.84) Quit (Quit: Page closed)
- [21:37] <@tboat> Meeting recap is posted.
