Choosing our projects...

So last class we got together in our groups and searched around some sites with lists of humanitarian free open source software (HFOSS). Each one of us selected a couple of projects and presented them to each other. We narrowed our selections(mainly tony's) to three. Our top three were GNOME Empathy, OpenRemote, and OpenKinect. GNOME empathy which is a messaging project that supports voice, video chat and some other features. It definitely seems to be the most developed and has a ton of help links that will help us along the way. Our next selection is called OpenRemote, it is used for developing touch-driven control panels. This project has some documentation but not a lot along the lines of a mailing list but they do have a chat room. Our third choice is called OpenKinect, this project focuses on using the xbox's new kinect and modifying to do several different things and so you can use it on the computer. We haven't decided yet on what our final choice is but we are going to decide before our next class. So until next time....
