meeting with damian burke 6th nov

After my meeting with Oliver i was to set up meetings with Damian Burke, Damian Gordon and Pat Browne. Unfortunately, it was review week and during that time I was unable to get in contact with them. This week i managed to arrange a meeting with Damian Burke.

I gave him a copy of my draft proposal and asked him to have a read through it and see if he had any ideas of any criticism to add. Damian was very helpful with this as he went through my proposal and was able to criticize my proposal in a constructive manner which will help me develop a sound proposal. He gave me ideas on research that could be done and also come up with an idea of incorporating a gant chart. This is a chart in with is visually informs the duration of tasks and can help with the over allocation of time etc ..

On Friday I was able to get a chance to talk to Damian Gordon after my efforts of getting in contact with him via email had failed. I explained to him that due to him being our project course coordinator, his input would be of great importance to help develop my research. He gave me a web address to prepare questions for him and told me to email him to arrange a meeting. The meeting was going to be informal but was going to be recorded for the benefit of having the interview on a wav file.

I emailed Pat Browne to set up a meeting with him. The scheduled date we arranged is for Tuesday the 11th at 5:30pm. But now this meeting will have to be rearranged as i will not be able to attend.

Things to do for next week:

• Review systems that already exist like wedCourses and myDIT
• Research on gant charts
• Make out a paint doc on what I think the system will look like
• make use case diagrams and make small descriptions on each i.e. who is doing what, prople and functionality.
• Acquire the formal meeting log document for understand it's layout.
• Prepare final proposal to hand up to Damian Gordon upon our meeting.

Others:

While all this is going on I have to keep up to date with lab work and assignments. I currently have three assignments on the go in Advanced Internet Development, Distributed Systems and Advanced Databases. So far I am nearly done with the Advanced Internet development assignment as i just have some minor details to complete. then I'll have to move on to distributed systems.

Joke of the week:
