Week 5

Last week there was a pitching event at Demola. Each team gave a one minute pitch about their project to the other teams. Chris gave our teams pitch and he managed to pitch our project into 15 seconds, which was the shortest and one of the best pitches of the event.

We also had a meeting with our client and they decided to have a meeting with Mikko Kurunsaari from Gurux to get more support for our project. They had a meeting later in the week and we will be getting more help from Gurux. The meeting also made the project more clear on some parts, but it also gave us some questions that we hadn't had time to think about.

On Friday there was also a Windows phone 7 hackathlon that me and Sunil took part in. We did some basic applications for the phone and got some useful information for developing for the Windows phone 7. This might not be useful for our current project, but it was a great hackathlon.

Configuring gurux

After our meeting with the client we kept trying to get gurux working and made node.js plan B. Gurux will make the rest of the project much easier if we get it working. It will handle the data transactions and serving custom pages for the end user. We are getting help from Mikko Kurunsaari from Gurux and hopefully we will have gurux up and runnig very soon.

We started looking at how gurux handles custom pages and we will need to use asp.net, so we are spending some of our time figuring out how the custom pages are going to work. Hopefully we can use gurux to serve the custom pages and that we can customize them to fit our clients needs.

Chris and Tuomas are going to start making some designs for the user interface and me and Sunil are going to keep working on gurux.
