Apollo-NG Mobile Hackbase

Apollo-NG Hackerspacecraft

Apollo-NG is a mobile, self-sustainable, independent and highly-experimental Hackbase, focused on research, development and usage of next-generation open technology while visiting places without a resident, local Hackerspace and offering other Hackers the opportunity to work together on exciting projects and to share fun, food, tools & resources, knowledge, experience and inspiration.

DSpace Progress

A lot is happening and a a few more people have started to contribute their time, skills and knowledge to push DSpace into the realm of reality.

Last Saturday, Niklas Cathor, also a strong supporter of federated technology, dropped by and joined the hackparty to just start hacking on moving us to amd.

Alice and elf-pavlik have continued working on DSpace, fixing a lot of issues and we moved the client to something almost usable. The UI will receive another major overhaul, targeting mobile usage on smaller screens with intuitive touch gestures instead.

It was great to be sitting in a bus and see the Tikiman (our current development mascot, representing the users location) move on the map. It will be even greater when we can share our positions and movements :)

Today a new tileset for Munich was put into production, which hopefully will make rendering on low end devices and small bandwidth connections even faster. The new map reduces the amount of data transfered to the client by over 60%. As always, you can see the development progress live on the demo-site:

DSpace Development

After the fruitful session on the weekend, we used the opportunity of still being together in Munich to scheme up the new internal structure and models/views:

[]

Changes in the develop branch to follow the new model are already underway and DSpace is now an official Apollo-NG R&D project, so everything will start moving into the dspace namespace from now on.

DSpace Bootstrapping Hackparty Ended

3 nights and two days of hacking have come to a very successful end. It was a great experience, none of us ever participated in a hackparty/hackathon so we really didn't know how to go about it. On Friday we tried to establish a common ground and basic guidelines where to go and what to do, on Saturday we were all over the place and we mostly refined the way we are going to handle the repos and from Sunday morning we really digged into it. At this point I really want to personally thank all people, who joined together and helped to make the hard bootstrapping of a system like this possible, by sharing their time, knowledge, resources and even food :)

All preliminary mockup code has been replaced by a beautiful model/view approach in backbone/ender.js. That should make further development much more straightforward, cleaner and faster.

A working example of the basic results of this hackparty can be viewed on:

The git repos are up and running, more information on the pad for now:
