  96. [20:10] <Fast_Absorbing> Daniel110, just on time
  97. [20:10] <nitrosage> is there any truth to that?
  98. [20:10] <Fast_Absorbing> python, python, python, python :D

  106. [20:11] <indylarry> I have dabbled in C and Python, but would say I am still a beginner.
  107. [20:11] <FRodrigues_> BrotherGA2: boas!
  108. [20:11] <nitrosage> being=begin
  109. [20:11] <ArexBawrin> if we can't do python i wouldn't mind trying a functional language
  110. [20:11] <mdonova33> I'd like to learn Java
  111. [20:11] <neTTos> Hello Everyone!
  112. [20:11] <OJL> if the ocean is the knowledge of python, i have only a drops worth of experience.
  113. [20:11] <Fast_Absorbing> ArexBawrin: Not a bad idea, Haskell?
  114. [20:11] <miyako> ArexBawrin: haskell :)
  115. [20:11] <nitrosage> hello neTTos
  116. [20:11] <OJL> but i'm supar interested.
  117. [20:11] <ArexBawrin> That's what I was thinking:)
  118. [20:11] <Kennythehitman> Haskell is amazing
  119. [20:11] <camel_Snake> i'd be okay with a functional language
  120. [20:11] <Justin_> I have to learn OCaml next year for school
  121. 03[20:11] * smashitup (~smash@75-19-162-120.lightspeed.cornca.sbcglobal.net) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative
  122. [20:12] <Cormophyte> Hey, my irc handle matches reddit. I'm pretty firmly a beginner, but have learned c and c++ no less than three times over the years.
  123. [20:12] <Marshall_H> Anyone else want to introduce themselves?
  124. 03[20:12] * theiris (1882c38d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.130.195.141) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative
  125. [20:12] <boe> well you know what they say, to iterate is human, to recurse divine
  126. [20:12] <Fast_Absorbing> Cormophyte: I know the feeling :P
  127. [20:12] <Cormophyte> Just never had a use for it after I learned syntax and structure, currently getting back into the swing with ObjC
  128. [20:12] <@tboat> Is there anyone who hasn't introduced themselves that would like to?
  129. [20:12] <Rosur> Haskell would be interesting to learn
  130. [20:12] <theiris> What are we talking about now? My internet died
  131. [20:12] <centigrade233_> still intros
  132. [20:13] <camel_Snake> boe haha i like that
  133. [20:13] <Kennythehitman> I would love to dive deeper into Haskell
  134. [20:13] <theiris> Did you get my intro?
  135. [20:13] <@tboat> Well if there are no more introductions...
  136. [20:13] <@tboat> dont believe so theiris, think you logged
  137. [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
  138. [20:13] <theiris> Hs senior interested inCS, currently writing web app in python. and pulling hair out over web scraping
  139. [20:13] <theiris> there xD
  140. [20:14] <@tboat> Haha welcome iris!
  141. [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.
  142. [20:14] <Kennythehitman> theiris: Which framework are you using, if any?
  143. [20:14] <@tboat> Hey daniel!
  144. [20:14] <Kennythehitman> Daniel110: Django brofist
  145. [20:14] <Seve> Hs Senior, lot
  146. [20:14] <Seve> 's of web stuff
  147. [20:14] <Seve> woops
  148. [20:14] <OJL> premature enter-ation.
  149. [20:15] <neTTos> Kennythehitman: I'm running Drupal, compare with Django?
  150. [20:15] <Rosur> I do want to learn django go well with my html and css skills
  151. [20:15] <ArexBawrin> i would be interested in web dev with python as well
  152. [20:16] <Kennythehitman> neTTos: Personally I hate Drupal, more specifically I hate the templating system in Drupal
  153. [20:16] <neTTos> Python > PHP
  154. [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
  155. [20:16] <Kennythehitman> I dont know if it's improved since I've used it though
  156. [20:16] <OJL> anyone for artificial intelligence / machine learning / natural language processing?
  157. [20:16] <Kennythehitman> I believe they are now using some components from symfony2
  158. 03[20:16] * Bradford (~Bradford@169.237.188.89) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative
  159. [20:16] <Bradford> hello
  160. [20:16] <Daniel110> I would also interested in learning developing andoird applications
  161. [20:16] <@tboat> Hey Bradford welcome!

  163. 06[20:16] * OJL waves to Bradford
  164. [20:16] <BrotherGA2> Hello Bradford, welcome!
  165. [20:16] <Bradford> I JUST found this on reddit
  166. [20:17] <Kennythehitman> Drupal sites usually fit a certain mould though, so it depends on your particular project
  167. [20:17] <bti> OJL: would love to learn about natural language processing. so many ideas for uses but no idea how it works
  168. 01[20:17] <gabe1118> tboat: should probably use a different color if thats possible for announcements
  169. [20:17] <Bradford> i really want to learn to program better
  170. [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 :]
  171. [20:17] <neTTos> OJL: Yeah NLP!
  172. [20:17] <Marshall_H> The faster we define the project etc, the quicker we can get to programming :]
  173. [20:17] <Bradford> i jsut joined what did tboat talk about?
  174. [20:18] <ArexBawrin> Bradford: just introductions
  175. [20:18] <bti> introductions, go ahead
  176. [20:18] <Daniel110> Are we working on one single project? or do you want to divide in groups?
  177. [20:18] <Kennythehitman> I thought we were still letting introductions be posted?
  178. [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.
  179. [20:18] <OJL> please introduce
  180. [20:19] <Fast_Absorbing> Daniel110: We still haven't decided :S
  181. [20:19] <neTTos> tboat: Also technologies that are freeish...
  182. [20:19] <Justin_> ^
  183. [20:19] <Kennythehitman> If Python and C++ are the top 2, what about breaking off into 2 groups and developing 2 different projects initially?
  184. [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..
  185. [20:19] <Fast_Absorbing> neTTos: This this this, we should start out promoting Free as in Freedom in our software
  186. [20:19] <Kennythehitman> OJL: Exactly
  187. [20:20] <neTTos> OJL: Have you looked at the Stanford NLP libraries?
  188. [20:20] <OJL> neTTos i'm working throw the andrew ng lectures and another set of lectures i found online
  189. [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

  191. [20:21] <Seve> Any linux buddies in here?
  192. 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?'
  193. [20:21] <baffler> everything is free on the internet
  194. [20:21] <Marshall_H> Seve: most of us
  195. [20:21] <Kennythehitman> I like Linux
  196. [20:21] <mdonova33> Are we ready to start?
  197. [20:21] <theiris> OJL: I'm with you on python & AI
  198. [20:21] <neTTos> Lets all get Macs and become Mac guys
  199. [20:21] <Kennythehitman> I'm running Debian w/ awesomewm
  200. [20:21] <Fast_Absorbing> BSD here
  201. [20:21] <nitrosage> I think with the amazing turnout, it would make most sense to split up
  202. [20:21] <camel_Snake> i like the multiple projects idea

  204. [20:21] <OJL> Seve, crunchbang and ubuntu
  205. [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?

  223. [20:22] <OJL> Bradford I think a good idea is setting up a mentor system.
  224. [20:22] <Kennythehitman> hmm
  225. [20:23] <ArexBawrin> Overall, I just want to learn how to work with other programmers. I've never done that before.
  226. [20:23] <nitrosage> @Bradform, yea we are all noobs. If I was you I would start with Python
  227. [20:23] <@tboat> Good point Filter
  228. [20:23] <Kennythehitman> Filter_: true
  229. [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.
  230. [20:23] <Bradford> So should we have "group leaders" that have the most experience
  231. [20:23] <Rosur> I plan to stick this out be good experince i think

  260. [20:26] <@tboat> Yes the top language is python
  261. [20:26] <OJL> so far, python is winning.
  262. [20:26] <TheDuceCat> py is easy
  263. [20:26] <Kennythehitman> I recommend Flask, it's a great microframework.

  272. [20:26] <TheDuceCat> i picked up python in a day
  273. [20:26] <TheDuceCat> it's really easy to learn

  278. [20:26] <theiris> i picked up python pretty quickly too
  279. [20:26] <ArexBawrin> yay python!
  280. [20:26] <miyako> I'm not great with python, but I don't really want to work with it
  281. [20:26] <boe> well a little bit, only the learn python the hard way stuff
  282. [20:27] <theiris> do we want to start this project after a few days or so
  283. [20:27] <camel_Snake> i don't know python
  284. [20:27] <theiris> so that the non pythonic people
  285. [20:27] <Marshall_H> I think python is the best since it's widely used, not too hard to pick up, and quite powerful
  286. [20:27] <Fast_Absorbing> miyako: you could maybe concentrate more on backend?
  287. [20:27] <Justin_> teaching myself python now...but if you know another language its extremely easy to pick up
  288. [20:27] <baffler> er, got disconnected, not sure if you saw this:
  289. [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
  290. [20:27] <TheDuceCat> python weakness is its deployment
  291. [20:27] <Fast_Absorbing> Although, why would it need a backend? surely it would just be a static site with news etc?
  292. [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?
  293. [20:27] <TheDuceCat> but it's not too terrible
  294. [20:27] <TheDuceCat> i don't like php
  295. [20:27] <theiris> i found python easier than php
  296. [20:27] <TheDuceCat> just a weird syntax (for me)
  297. [20:27] <bti> ArexBawrin: super easy to deploy
  298. [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?
  299. [20:28] <nitrosage> I havent really tried Python for webdev

  301. [20:28] <TheDuceCat> ehhh
  302. [20:28] <camel_Snake> i like that idea
  303. [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
  304. [20:28] <Kennythehitman> PHP has a funky syntax and it's too easy for new coders to write ugly code with it.
  305. [20:28] <TheDuceCat> ^
  306. [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
  307. [20:28] <TheDuceCat> especially with a team clean code is key

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?'
  309. [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
  310. [20:28] <OJL> how about a friendly inhouse contest? that way we can gauge everyones skill level and then break off into groups accordingly
  311. [20:28] <bti> heroku has a free plan for a single domain
  312. [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
  313. [20:28] <Marshall_H> RE Topic: I'm +1 for that
  314. [20:28] <timg> python has an incredible amount of libraries ready to go
  315. [20:28] <Kennythehitman> Rails is getting too bloated
  316. [20:29] <neTTos> I think the 3 groups should be like Web-Cool Webapp, Desktop - Scientific Programming, Mobile - A mobile game
  317. [20:29] <OJL> +1 neTTos
  318. [20:29] <Seve> +1
  319. [20:29] <OJL> i'm for desktop
  320. [20:29] <Kennythehitman> Heroku would be great, it supports Python frameworks now
  321. [20:29] <camel_Snake> sinatra is a good alternative to rails no?
  322. [20:29] <nitrosage> this is getting out of hand
  323. [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
  324. [20:29] <nitrosage> who is opposed to the warm up project
  325. [20:29] <Daniel110> It doesn't really matters, as long as we make a decision. This discussion is turning into a language flame war.
  326. [20:29] <nitrosage> we ant have 3 warm up projects
  327. [20:29] <Withremote> So I should try and learn python this week?
  328. [20:30] <timg> nitrosage: we should have one projects.
  329. [20:30] <TheDuceCat> watch thenewboston's python videos
  330. [20:30] <gettavia> +1 but desktop shouldnt be scientific. it would intimidate less-sciencey people
  331. [20:30] <Kennythehitman> Sinatra is indeed a clean framework, but the poll is telling us Py is at the top.
  332. [20:30] <TheDuceCat> they are excellent
  333. [20:30] <Daniel110> Withremote: what language do you already know?

  335. [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
  336. [20:30] <Fast_Absorbing> OJL: I like that
  337. [20:30] <Withremote> Php primarily,
  338. [20:30] <TheDuceCat> picking up python is very easy

  356. [20:32] <Kennythehitman> We could possibly fit them in as JS frontend scripters, maybe? Just a thought
  357. [20:32] <Bradford> I would feel bad if i held a group behind due to my skill level but im always willing to learn
  358. [20:32] <Fast_Absorbing> gabe1118: Effort though, and we would have to read each others code
  359. [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
  360. [20:32] <baffler> I'm not all that interested in python, maybe some html5 stuff, I wanna get into that
  361. [20:32] <Kennythehitman> So even people who dont like Python may participate in the web dev
  362. [20:32] <smashitup> what do we want to make? maybe we should pick something to make, and figure out the best language from there
  363. [20:32] <OJL> tboat, suggestion. make 3 more channels.
  364. [20:32] <bti> Bradford: that's the point of this whole thing (to learn)
  365. [20:32] <OJL> one mobile, one desktop, one web
  366. [20:32] <OJL> and then have people start splitting off accordingly
  367. [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?
  368. [20:33] <TheDuceCat> i like it but let's wait for ideas
  369. [20:33] <nitrosage> i think github has that covered
  370. 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?'
  371. [20:33] <timg> baffler: html5 would also be good. I know 0 about it. Is it anything like html4 ?
  372. [20:33] <nitrosage> really nicele
  373. [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

  380. [20:33] <Kennythehitman> timg: Yes, of course.

  385. [20:33] <Kennythehitman> I agree with miyako
  386. [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

  388. 01[20:34] <gabe1118> Marshall_H exactly
  389. [20:34] <neTTos> If we have a website, we need a server.
  390. [20:34] <Kennythehitman> We have to find a way to have all the moving parts relate to each othe rin some way
  391. [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
  392. [20:34] <Daniel110> www.progconnect.com
  393. [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

  458. [20:38] <Filter_> Yea a little bit i think
  459. [20:38] <OJL> I would like to shamelessly promote my idea of Desktop Application - Scienctific using Python/Numpy/Scipy Machine Learning/ Artificial Intellience / Natural Language Processing.

  466. [20:38] <timg> not sure how well it lends itself to beginners?
  467. [20:38] <ArexBawrin> OJL: what kind of math requirement is expected with that?
  468. [20:38] <TheDuceCat> I'm not sure if anyone else is interested, but I'd like to make a basic 2D desktop game.
  469. [20:38] <boe> i wouldn't mind doing some machine learning stuff but i doubt i have enough experience for that
  470. [20:39] <OJL> come to #greenentry, lets speak there
  471. [20:39] <Fast_Absorbing> OJL: that's a little open ended for the starter project

  473. [20:39] <timg> TheDuceCat: why not a basic 2d webgame?
  474. [20:39] <OJL> boe, i've just started. thats the idea.
  475. [20:39] <baffler> I'd be interested TheDuceCat, but depends on the language
  476. [20:39] <calzone21> let
  477. [20:39] <neTTos> Scientific stuff is really just research and thinking
  478. [20:39] <TheDuceCat> just a suggestion atm
  479. [20:39] <centigrade233> TheDuceCat: games can be fun
  480. [20:39] <Fast_Absorbing> timg: I like that, with a back-end highscore system?
  481. [20:39] <timg> Fast_Absorbing: sure!
  482. [20:39] <Rosur> 2d webgame would be kinda cool to make
  483. [20:39] <OJL> MULTIPLAYER SNAKE

  486. [20:39] <baffler> could do the server in python?
  487. [20:40] <baffler> the game in html5?
  488. [20:40] <Fast_Absorbing> OJL: has been done :P but yes, something like that
  489. 03[20:40] * Withremote (~Withremot@gn5.ips.PaulBunyan.net) has joined #rProgrammingCollaborative
  490. [20:40] <TheDuceCat> i'm not a fan of web games but sure
  491. [20:40] <timg> baffler: yea
  492. [20:40] <Kennythehitman> baffler: exactly
  493. [20:40] <Fast_Absorbing> baffler: nice, could even host the game server side and use websockets, but that's going a little far
  494. [20:40] <OJL> omg multiplayer snake with high scores. MMO
  495. [20:40] <centigrade233> Fast_Absorbing: something with multiplayer might be cool
  496. [20:40] <bti> needs more nodejs
  497. [20:40] <Kennythehitman> Node.js is also a candidate
  498. [20:40] <ArexBawrin> tboat: what's the plan?
  499. [20:40] <Fast_Absorbing> centigrade233: for multiplayer websockets are a must
  500. 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?'
  501. [20:41] <TheDuceCat> prob open source
  502. [20:41] <Kennythehitman> re topic: FOSS FTW
  503. [20:41] <Fast_Absorbing> We would have to be open source
  504. [20:41] <OJL> open source
  505. [20:41] <boe> open source ftw
  506. [20:41] <Rosur> open source would be best
  507. [20:41] <OJL> profit is 2nd project.
  508. [20:41] <baffler> ??? PROFIT!
  509. [20:41] <Fast_Absorbing> Otherwise how would we invite more noobs? We can't vet each one
  510. [20:41] <Magzter> open source
  511. [20:41] <neTTos> For Science!
  512. [20:41] <miyako> I think that we should make the application Free Software and use an open source development model
  513. [20:41] <theiris> oopen soource
  514. [20:41] <nitrosage> open
  515. [20:41] <camel_Snake> definitely FOSS
  516. 01[20:41] <gabe1118> opensource github?
  517. [20:42] <neTTos> We should build the website, see who sticks around and then split up into projects
  518. [20:42] <Rosur> too much arguing would come about from a profit thing :P
  519. [20:42] <Withremote> github likely
  520. [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
  521. [20:42] <Fast_Absorbing> gabe1118: Yes, tboat should start an Organization
  522. [20:42] <Justin__> +1 neTTos
  523. [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
  524. [20:42] <gettavia> +1 miyako
  525. [20:42] <Filter_> I'm going to file the LLC in oregon, it will allow for new investors.
  526. [20:42] <nitrosage> +1 miyako
  527. [20:42] <TheDuceCat> +1 miyako
  528. [20:42] <OJL> tboat can you toss #greenentry in the topic next to my desktop app thing
  529. [20:42] <Bradford> whats #greenenery?
  530. [20:43] <Bradford> greenentry
  531. [20:43] <neTTos> miyako: that's true, but it could be something very specific if we wanted it to be.
  532. [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
  533. [20:43] <OJL> where i would like to speak to anyone who is interested in python and machine learning concepts
  534. [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
  535. 03[20:43] * tboat changes topic to 'Open Source overwhelmingly taken! Is there a specific scientific application you all would want to make?'
  536. [20:43] <OJL> but i'm definitely still into the main project
  537. [20:43] <baffler> probably best to have 1 project to start off with
  538. [20:43] <intothev01d> redditors*
  539. [20:43] <OJL> +1 bafflr
  540. [20:43] <Fast_Absorbing> Wait, what happened with the web game to start with?
  541. [20:43] <OJL> i liek webgame start
  542. [20:43] <miyako> We should focus on something that doesn't require an overwhelming amount of domain expertise
  543. [20:44] <Fast_Absorbing> Snake is simple and easy to code and has a front-end and back-end
  544. [20:44] <timg> redactors!
  545. [20:44] <OJL> multiplayer snake sounds easy enough
  546. [20:44] <TheDuceCat> starting with game not good idea
  547. [20:44] <timg> i like a game
  548. [20:44] <OJL> why not? games cover all concepts
  549. [20:44] <baffler> wasn't sure if enough people wanted to start with game, but that would be fine too
  550. [20:44] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: Reasons why?
  551. [20:44] <TheDuceCat> i already made single player snake in python (SNAKE IN PYTHON LOL) if you want to see source code
  552. [20:44] <gettavia> a whole functioning website is too complex for non-experienced users to remain interested
  553. [20:44] <OJL> TheDuceCat yesplease
  554. [20:44] <TheDuceCat> i'll post the py file
  555. [20:44] <timg> TheDuceCat: put it on the group git?
  556. [20:44] <miyako> gettavia: I'm sure someone with experience will be willing to mentor
  557. [20:44] <centigrade233> don't you need a website first to put said webgame on?
  558. [20:44] <TheDuceCat> its not on github its just a zip atm
  559. [20:45] <timg> gettavia: I thought the website would be qutie basic
  560. [20:45] <Fast_Absorbing> centigrade233: No, you can host it locally
  561. [20:45] <Kennythehitman> gettavia: that's why we use a microframework and code purely what we need
  562. [20:45] <nitrosage> I dont mind workin on the website. That has been decided, no?
  563. [20:45] <timg> TheDuceCat: put it in the github!
  564. [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.
  565. [20:45] <timg> sweet
  566. [20:45] <neTTos> I have experience with Node.js and Websockets
  567. [20:45] <Fast_Absorbing> I have a server, i wouldn't mind webhosting if the project needs it
  568. [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
  569. [20:45] <Fast_Absorbing> Could someone post the github url?
  570. [20:46] <Filter_> github.com
  571. [20:46] <Daniel110> Fast_Absorbing: thanks you are awesome that would be great
  572. [20:46] <Kennythehitman> +1 baffler
  573. [20:46] <TheDuceCat> where is the group git?
  574. [20:46] <nitrosage> there in none yet

  578. [20:46] <nitrosage> or anything
  579. [20:46] <timg> TheDuceCat: sorry, I was thinking about the learnprogramming github
  580. [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
  581. [20:46] <bti> what's this one https://github.com/LearnProgramming?
  582. [20:46] <OJL> yay
  583. [20:46] <Kennythehitman> Of course we'll have to have a website to promote our web game. :)
  584. [20:46] <nitrosage> I am Yay

  630. 01[20:51] <gabe1118> cya
  631. [20:51] <timg> we decided on a website and a game
  632. [20:51] <timg> I think...
  633. [20:51] <Fast_Absorbing> timg, sounds right
  634. [20:51] <timg> later on
  635. [20:51] <Withremote> as a web guy, i'm for a website
  636. [20:51] <Filter_> im not sure what we decided on yet
  637. [20:51] <bti> as am i
  638. [20:51] <timg> ok so what's next
  639. [20:51] <miyako> I think we agreed to do a website, possibly featuring a small game, as a starter project
  640. [20:51] <Filter_> wouldnt a website be too simple for all the resources we have?
  641. [20:51] <Kennythehitman> what miyako said
  642. [20:51] <timg> Filter_: it's easy to join a chat
  643. [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
  644. [20:51] <neTTos> Filter_: We gotta start somewhere
  645. [20:51] <Justin__> but its a great starting point
  646. [20:51] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter_: our resources are all very scattered, and we need some kind of plan
  647. [20:51] <Kennythehitman> Filter_: it's a starter project
  648. [20:51] <timg> getting people to contribute is different
  649. [20:51] <Withremote> build a website with a CMS that we build
  650. [20:52] <baffler> I thought we agreed to make millions of dollars?
  651. [20:52] <calzone21> would the website act as a hub for our projects?
  652. [20:52] <Justin__> and plus it will filter out A LOT of the people who wont stick around
  653. [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
  654. [20:52] <neTTos> baffler: exactly
  655. [20:52] <timg> baffler: that's exactly what we're doing here
  656. [20:52] <baffler> good
  657. [20:52] <Kennythehitman> calzone21: yes
  658. [20:52] <Filter_> Alright... I like the idea of filtering things
  659. [20:52] <timg> k
  660. [20:52] <timg> so step 1: website
  661. [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.
  662. [20:52] <neTTos> Filter_: haha :D
  663. [20:52] <timg> what will be used to build said website?
  664. [20:52] <Kennythehitman> I humbly suggest Flask, the Python microframework.

  679. [20:53] <Kennythehitman> Jinja2 is a fantastic templating engine.
  680. [20:54] <calzone21> bti: yup, i beliive that's the plan
  681. [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
  682. [20:54] <nitrosage> creating irc chans is easy
  683. [20:54] <Daniel110> Django it's a fantastic framework
  684. [20:54] <@tboat> timg: i figure an IRC for the overall group, #ProgCollab, where we will begin meetings, then break into group IRC's
  685. [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?
  686. [20:54] <Rosur> django i want to learn mostlly
  687. [20:54] <timg> Marshall_H: there will be a log posted, I think
  688. [20:54] <TheDuceCat> i would love to do the game
  689. [20:54] <@tboat> Marshall_H, read my recap
  690. [20:54] <calzone21> agreed on django
  691. [20:54] <baffler> TL;DR: read the topic :P
  692. [20:54] <Kennythehitman> I'm working on a media platform application in Django. https://github.com/kennyledet/emp
  693. [20:54] <TheDuceCat> i've made many games in many languages
  694. [20:54] <Justin__> Marshall: the script will be posted later
  695. [20:55] <TheDuceCat> block dude, snake, pong, java, c#, python

  697. [20:55] <Kennythehitman> Honestly it might be too much for what we need to do, but it's up to the group.
  698. [20:55] <Marshall_H> Alright, thanks.
  699. [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
  700. [20:55] <Kennythehitman> Both Django and Flask are easy to learn, and are excellent frameworks.
  701. [20:55] <timg> ok, so should we just build the website with straight html?
  702. [20:55] <nitrosage> no
  703. [20:55] <Kennythehitman> The difference is mainly in the batteries included.
  704. [20:55] <zakbain> no
  705. [20:55] <ArexBawrin> How can inexperienced programmers (me) participate in these warmup projects? I know a little python...
  706. [20:55] <nitrosage> Javascript, Python, PHP/MySQL backend
  707. [20:56] <nitrosage> Website project
  708. [20:56] <G14> html isnt a programming language, so that would defeat the purpose
  709. [20:56] <timg> nitrosage: ok
  710. 03[20:56] * tboat changes topic to 'Before I turn off the log, does anyone have any major questions/or concerns they feel absolutely need to be addressed?'
  711. [20:56] <Kennythehitman> ArexBawrin: Documentation, and we'll gladly help you out with everything
  712. [20:56] <nitrosage> umm
  713. [20:56] <Daniel110> we would need to use html but not just that
  714. [20:56] <nitrosage> schedule next meeting?
  715. [20:56] <nitrosage> tboat
  716. [20:56] <Filter_> ArexBawrin: once we decide on something to do, there will be all sorts of tasks that will need to be done... big to small

  858. [21:03] <Bradford> but it seems like the majority prefers 7pm
  859. [21:03] <SlimTim10> it's my subtle way of saying how obfuscated this "meeting" has become ;)
  860. [21:03] <miyako> honestly, that went a little better than I had expected, but not as well as I had hoped
  861. [21:03] <intothev01d> nice
  862. [21:03] <FRodrigues_> i prefer 7pm!
  863. [21:03] <Fast_Absorbing> Bradford: the meeting will inevitably overrun like todays
  864. [21:04] <Withremote> 7pm is good
  865. [21:04] <BrotherGA2> FRodrigues_, yes... for those of us in europe... 8PM is pretty late XD
  866. [21:04] <Rosur> 7pm would be slightly better as its midnight here in the uk but 8pms allright.

  936. [21:10] <Fast_Absorbing> let me again plug my Pi idea, which already has a github associated ;D
  937. [21:10] <bti> tboat: so we are definitely going to have some type of website?
  938. [21:10] <TheDuceCat> PSA to all noobs to python: watch this video series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mf0h3HphEA
  939. [21:10] <Filter_> are you hoping to find the last digit of pi?
  940. [21:10] <@tboat> bti: yes, preferably with scripts so people who are new can get their foot into the door with variables/statements/arrays
  941. [21:10] <Fast_Absorbing> https://github.com/jxtcman/PeerToPy <<-- My start on a python pi calculator
  942. [21:10] <thearrowflies> We decided on python?
  943. [21:11] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter_: no silly, everyone knows it's 7 :)
  944. [21:11] <Kennythehitman> I also have to recommend Think Python to the novices.
  945. [21:11] <Filter_> lol
  946. [21:11] <TheDuceCat> well the web game has to be JS

  950. [21:11] <DarkEnergy> does anyone in here have experience in visual basic?
  951. [21:11] <thearrowflies> it shouldnt be hard to learn quickly
  952. [21:11] <bti> tboat: i have a coupon for a domain name that expires in 24 hours. nothing i need it for, wouldn't mind getting us a nice .com or .org
  953. [21:11] <timg> i did some vb in highschool
  954. [21:11] <Kennythehitman> VB :/
  955. [21:11] <Filter_> gui interface in visual basic to track the killer
  956. [21:11] <timg> but I don't want to talk about it.
  957. [21:11] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter_: track the IP*
  958. [21:12] <Filter_> Fast_Absorbing: ahhh yes
  959. [21:12] <miyako> I think we should have the community elect someone to manage things like domains, etc.
  960. [21:12] <Fast_Absorbing> We should both type of the same keyboard to write it, get it done faster ;)
  961. [21:12] <DarkEnergy> i'm just trying to get my program to start up minimized (the the task bar) when windows starts
  962. [21:12] <thearrowflies> the dictator does, duhh.
  963. [21:12] <Filter_> I could do the domain management
  964. [21:12] <Filter_> i used to build websites
  965. [21:12] <Kennythehitman> I have a server and wouldn't mind helping out on that end too.

  968. [21:12] <Filter_> i dont have hosting anymore though
  969. [21:12] <Kennythehitman> I host quite a few websites there but there's tons of room :)
  970. [21:12] <TheDuceCat> for the game we could use straight up JS or pyjs
  971. [21:12] <Fast_Absorbing> I quite like the idea of being an Officer
  972. 01[21:13] <gabe1118> same here
  973. [21:13] <timg> excuse me occifer!
  974. [21:13] <thearrowflies> Should there also be people that go around between groups that are just there to help?
  975. [21:13] <Marshall_H> hey drunk im not occifer!
  976. [21:13] <Kennythehitman> HTML5/js would be preferable for a cross-platform web game
  977. [21:13] <timg> thearrowflies: tboat
  978. [21:13] <G14> tar bender i need adrother nink
  979. [21:13] <thearrowflies> oh
  980. [21:14] <TheDuceCat> we can use pyjs

  983. [21:14] <Bradford> @tboat awesome!
  984. 01[21:14] <gabe1118> nice
  985. [21:14] <Fast_Absorbing> I would prefer just Javascript and Python seperately
  986. [21:14] <Filter_> yes
  987. [21:14] <DarkEnergy> javascript is really nice
  988. [21:14] <Filter_> its better to code the language you are using
  989. [21:14] <miyako> Is there an elected position I can have that means I get all of the credit without having any responsibility? :P
  990. [21:14] <Kennythehitman> +1 Fast_Absorbing
  991. [21:14] <thearrowflies> let me get my bot in here...
  992. [21:15] <TheDuceCat> i really don't like js for anything other than really simple scripts
  993. 01[21:15] <gabe1118> miyako: lol figurehead
  994. [21:15] <TheDuceCat> dart lang is awesome but not widely supported yet
  995. [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
  996. 03[21:15] * tboat changes topic to 'Thanks to all who came out to the first meeting! A summary and copy of the chat log will be posted in /r/progcollab! Tomorrow's meeting: electing officers, group leaders, breaking into project groups! Please take the survey: http://goo.gl/mCjM1'
  997. [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
  998. [21:15] <centigrade233_> ^
  999. [21:15] <Kennythehitman> And how well done the contributions are
  1000. [21:16] <centigrade233_> although we'd need some sort of initial organization
  1001. [21:16] <TheDuceCat> take the survey again?
  1002. [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
  1003. [21:16] <TheDuceCat> oh its updated
  1004. [21:16] <Kennythehitman> True
  1005. [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
  1006. [21:16] <Fast_Absorbing> Kennythehitman: but leaders are not necessarily the best coders
  1007. [21:16] <@tboat> TheDuceCat, did you take it after the update?
  1008. [21:16] <TheDuceCat> no

  1012. [21:16] <@tboat> g14 go back and read the log when i post it, its not broken up based on language
  1013. [21:17] <Kennythehitman> How should we decide initially?
  1014. [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
  1015. [21:17] <Kennythehitman> Based on concrete examples of experience?
  1016. [21:17] <miyako> Kennythehitman: I'd suggest going to experience, willingness to actually participate, etc.
  1017. [21:17] <G14> @tboat i know it currently isn't, which is why i propose it should be

  1021. [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
  1022. [21:17] <@tboat> g14 Meeting adjorned :/
  1023. [21:17] <Duce> i'm going to be Duce from now on
  1024. [21:18] <Duce> just letting you know
  1025. [21:18] <miyako> Fast_Absorbing: that's a risk, but I'm not sure how to mitigate it
  1026. [21:18] <Duce> you know what i'll stay theducecat to keep it simple
  1027. 03[21:18] * Duce is now known as TheDuceCat
  1028. 01[21:18] <gabe1118> if there are no forced leaders, because of the lack of experience, the groups might fall apart
  1029. [21:18] <Fast_Absorbing> miyako: vote on who you would like best to lead you?
  1030. [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
  1031. [21:18] <Filter_> first we need to figure out how to split the groups up then we can pick leaders

  1038. [21:19] <Bradford> I feel there should be more than 1 in each group
  1039. [21:19] <miyako> people can vote on if they agree, and then those people will be appointed for say, 3 months, and then once we've worked together for a while we can have a real election

  1041. [21:19] <TheDuceCat> does the game have to be a web game?
  1042. [21:20] <Bradford> maybe people should nominate leaders and cast votes
  1043. 01[21:20] <gabe1118> what does the bot do?
  1044. [21:20] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: no, but why shouldn't it be?
  1045. [21:20] <bti> TheDuceCat: any reason it shouldn't?
  1046. [21:20] <Kennythehitman> I also think tboat should decide to narrow it down
  1047. [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
  1048. [21:20] <TheDuceCat> pygame is great for game development
  1049. [21:20] <thearrowflies> its default supybot, so not much
  1050. [21:20] <TheDuceCat> and its cross platform
  1051. [21:20] <Kennythehitman> Then the narrowed down list could be voted upon by everyone
  1052. [21:20] <TheDuceCat> and it's pretty easy to grasp
  1053. [21:21] <TheDuceCat> js for bigger projects can get a little crazy
  1054. [21:21] <@tboat> do pastebins expire?
  1055. [21:21] <centigrade233_> no
  1056. [21:21] <TheDuceCat> you can st them to
  1057. [21:21] <timg> pygame.. still havent messed with it
  1058. [21:21] <TheDuceCat> pygame is great
  1059. [21:21] <miyako> tboat: not by default, but you can set a timeout value on them
  1060. [21:21] <TheDuceCat> so is LOVE2D but we're sticking with Python
  1061. [21:21] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: could write a front-end drawing program and run the game server-side

  1068. [21:22] <TheDuceCat> true
  1069. [21:23] <TheDuceCat> that's great for turn based games

  1074. [21:23] <Filter_> javascript is the future
  1075. [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 :)
  1076. [21:23] <thearrowflies> sockets in java suck >.> partly because they dont work
  1077. [21:23] <TheDuceCat> i hate js
  1078. [21:24] <TheDuceCat> it's not that it's terrible
  1079. [21:24] <TheDuceCat> it's that it's a forced language
  1080. [21:24] <TheDuceCat> somewhat
  1081. [21:24] <Fast_Absorbing> thearrowflies: node.js is javascript, and socket.io is websockets
  1082. [21:24] <thearrowflies> i know
  1083. [21:24] <thearrowflies> i was just mentioning

  1110. [21:26] <miyako> C++ isn't an ideal language to have running on top of a sandboxed environment IMHO
  1111. [21:26] <TheDuceCat> yeah it's not very popular atm
  1112. [21:27] <TheDuceCat> i still like pygame

  1115. [21:27] <TheDuceCat> i like the lang
  1116. 01[21:27] <gabe1118> i know mostly java/html if a mentor is needed for those languages

  1132. 01[21:29] <gabe1118> slick and lwjgl are good and simpler to learn than java without an external lib
  1133. [21:29] <TheDuceCat> wait i did block dude without any libs
  1134. [21:29] <TheDuceCat> i forgot

  1167. [21:33] <Kennythehitman> TheDuceCat: we could do the actual game frontend/backend in JS entirely, using Node yes
  1168. [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
  1169. [21:34] <Fast_Absorbing> Filter__: _1
  1170. [21:34] <Kennythehitman> The simple website we were discussing for a startup project could be done in a microframework
  1171. [21:34] <TheDuceCat> i'm still in love with pygame
  1172. [21:34] <timg_> geeze miyako
  1173. [21:34] <timg_> anything you do like?
  1174. [21:34] <miyako> timg_: I like a lot of things, but that doesn't stop me from complaining about them :P
  1175. [21:35] <timg_> ;)
  1176. [21:35] <Kennythehitman> And then this website would contain the actual hub in which our projects are hosted
  1177. [21:35] <Kennythehitman> I should say accessible, rather

  1179. [21:35] <TheDuceCat> what about a java or pygame client with a server back end for multi/high scores
  1180. [21:36] <timg_> so, tell us about iFapper

  1183. [21:36] <Kennythehitman> I did it for a friend, honestly
  1184. [21:36] <timg_> :)
  1185. [21:36] <Kennythehitman> my own ideas were ripplr and 4channer
  1186. [21:37] <Fast_Absorbing> TheDuceCat: The problem is that the hgihscores are normally easy to hack in some way
  1187. [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.
  1188. [21:37] <Filter__> its been fun, ill see you guys tomorrow
