Blog Week 5

So, you probably came here because you're interested in what it is I did this week regarding this project. Otherwise, you really must've not payed attention to the title. I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory.

Hoping you're not here by accident, let me explain what this week was all about then: partials. Mostly projects, actually. And I'm expecting this coming week to be very similar. Yay.

I think we were all pretty busy, but still found some time to advance on what needed to be done here. For one, in the Software Quality and Testing class now there's no final project... so, the part of this project that was dedicated for that now is going to be much more flexible and for the most part, easier on us. We can direct our efforts on the other areas.

On Friday we had a meeting with the Alberta team, where a few things were clarified. Among them, that we should focus for now on having the platform where data is going to be added and modified up and running. We'll need to integrate this functionality with Steps and ARCGIS, both which Eleni is going to provide us more info for their usage.

I also successfully transformed the data we collected from Datos Abiertos for places in Guadalajara into the structure we need for our particular needs. This now makes it easier to read and manage it all.

That's it for this week. I could go on and talk about the things that were accomplished for my other courses, but that's none of this blog's business.

Plan Week 4

This week we plan to start working on a few of the things we've been going about back and forth with the Alberta team. Specifically, and on track with what's planned to be delivered on the Web Development Lab class, a map with points shown from the Datos Abiertos Jalisco platform. This, through a very basic API. We also have planned to integrate Github with travis-CI for testing automation. Eleni (UofA) has also mentioned a few other responsibilities of our team that hadn't been considered before: ingesting/scraping data to populate the back-end database developing analytics  features so that the platform administrators can see how the platform is used, such as (for example): how many assets we have, within an area? when were these contributed? what channel and which individual is the biggest contributor? how many people did this tour? how long did it take? So when the time comes, we'll want to incorporate these tasks into our planning. ... ... .

Week 1 Planning

Imagen
This week we plan to continue researching about similar projects to what “Yeg AR” aims for, to get a better understanding of what existing products are out there already. Using the document that explains what the project is about, we identified some technologies that are proposed to be used in the project. We will research the technologies as well as how to implement them with AR. It would be great if we find sometime for us to actually chat with the students from Alberta, to agree on the requirements, specifications, tools to be used and how we’ll distribute the work. From what we’ve read in the project description, details aren’t so clear. So we’ll write down concrete questions we would like to ask them. All our team posts will be published with the teampost tag, immediately available through https://martellsmartcities.blogspot.com/search/label/teampost We created a repository for the project but depending on how we organize with the alberta team we might create a

Last post of mine you'll see here. I promise. At first I didn't quite know what to expect from this class. I just knew Smart Cities sounded interesting, at least to me. And so I jumped in. We jumped in. Little did we know where things would end up turning... actually, at first I wasn't convinced about working with students cross-nationally, I just believed whatever project we did could be more easily managed and within conditions that would harm our progress as least as possible if all our teammates where geographically at the same place. However, the opportunity came and we took it. All this, as you may very well know if you've read any of my other posts here... which I really doubt, and don't blame you. Even I question myself most times as to WHY I'm writing all these posts. Anyways... This post is supposed to be about what I learned during this whole semester, so let's get right to it. At first it was a mess, honestly. We were thinking to do things
