Week 3, Let's Go

Today we had a meeting with the Alberta team, finally meeting them face to face. Virtually, at least.
There, people from the city of Alberta gave a slight overview over what they require, giving us the
following conception:
- A web-based system through which people can contribute with geographical locations they think
worth visiting, as well as walks that take them through certain locations.
- A mobile client for guiding the user through people-generated walks.
- The mobile application should work with and without internet connections.
- Users should be able to create an account.
- Users can have favorite walks.
- There should be a Completed Walks section and a Certified Walks section.


Connection and audio issues prevented us from hearing the whole thing in the meeting, but we did
get a better idea of the project as a whole. We will be receiving further information about the project
through a summary of the meeting provided by the students of Alberta.

In the meantime, we will start selecting the technologies we know and would like to use for each of the
aspects of the project, so that when we meet with the Canada counterpart, we can discuss which
technologies are best suited for the project.

Since this project is going to be focused on user-generated information, which other users will
consume, we also need to discuss and contemplate how to curate the created data to make sure
it's is real data and not with other intents.

P.S. apparently a very common cycling wallpaper is of a place in Alberta:

Nice. Now we want to go visit.
