NUS Hackers » News http://nushackers.org Linux, Open Source Software, and the Hacker Culture Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:39:42 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Gearing Up For 2012 (Plans, and a New Site!) http://nushackers.org/2012/01/gearing-up-for-2011-plans-and-a-new-site/ http://nushackers.org/2012/01/gearing-up-for-2011-plans-and-a-new-site/#comments Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:07:25 +0000 admin http://nushackers.org/?p=1941 (This was also sent as an email to the NUS Hackers mailing list.)

Hi everyone,

This is Cedric (aka Eli online), the current president of NUS Hackers.

I’m here to tell you about some of the things we have planned for the next semester, as well as to ask for your input on how we can do certain things better. This will be a long email, but I hope for your patience as I explain some of the initiatives, partnerships and decisions we’ve made behind the scenes. (This closed-door decision-making is also something that will change, but more on that in a bit).

As most of you already know, the NUS Hackers is a club dedicated to the spread of hacker culture and open source software in NUS. Historically, most SoC students don’t really have a culture of building things for fun. We know this because our seniors told us, employers outside tell us, and entrepreneurs tell us the same things over and over again: where are the good programmers? Where can I hire good programmers? Why are SoC students not like MIT/Stanford/X university ones, who build things and learn things on their own, outside school?

(For a taste of what employers think of NUS SoC grads, refer to this Hackerspace.sg thread)

Our response to this is to get more people hacking. This isn’t a completely altruistic motive – the more you hack, the more you release open source code, the more attractive you become to future employers. (i, you display initiative when you launch your own projects ii, tech-savvy employers (the good kind) can read your code before they hire you).

Also, if we get enough hackers together, it benefits everyone in the group, as NUS Hackers will be the go-to place to look for talent for startups, employers, and professors in NUS (research).

We are a long away from that. We did a few new things that were in the right direction last semester, but we were disorganized:

  • Friday Hacks were announced too late in the week
  • The venue kept changing
  • We didn’t pursue opportunities to pass down to members as aggressively.
  • Nobody released open source code.

Here’s what we’re going to do about it.

Friday Hacks – Talks:

We have found that attendance increases when there’s a talk announced early in the week. With that in mind:

  • Friday Hacks will be in one venue for the whole of next semester. I will try to lock down Seminar Room 2 ERC @ Utown, but if that’s not possible, I will announce it here and on the blog.
  • Talks will be announced on the site in advance. I have redesigned the nushackers.org front page to display a list of speakers and topics for all the weeks in the semester, as well as open slots that students, professors, and outside speakers might want to pick to speak. I have also created a general information page for speakers – including a map and parking locations.
  • I want to provide free dinners to everyone, for every Friday Hacks. Coreteam members have good working relationships with several large companies, and I am will find sponsorships to make this happen. (Free pizza makes sense, by the way – we want to build community amongst hackers. Plus speakers from various companies can join right in).

Hacking

Last semester, we found that not many people knew what to hack on. OR that they did homework. That’s not completely cool: a big value-add of hacking is that you learn and build things outside the curriculum. Here’s what we’re doing about that:

  • I spent a week building, and just released Treehouse – a dashboard for NUS Hackers projects. A post may be found here: (I’ll do a proper announcement post soon)
  • Check the project page and the people page out. I’m pushing updates as we go along.
  • Going forward, we will use Treehouse to keep track of all hacking activity in NUS Hackers. :)
  • The site is capable of parsing git repositories, so as long as you have a publicly available git clone address, it will grab it and parse it and attribute it to the right contributors.
  • It also has social features, and karma, meaning there is some built-in troll-protection. I will moderate and build extra anti-flamewar controls if required.
  • Please sign up, and remember to use the email address you use to sign your git commits.

What we will use Treehouse for:

  • Next semester, for a four week period at the start of the semester, we will get everyone to work on projects, with a show-and-tell and the end of the four weeks.
  • What kind of projects? Any kind – but preferably ones that benefit the NUS community. E.g. I’m planning to do a Javascript skinner for IVLE, to make it user-friendly and awesome-looking. You can also choose to build mashups on top of the CORS API we released a few weeks back. Plus: let’s do it in teams! (Anyone want to work with me?)
  • This hacking will take place during Friday Hacks, for four sessions. (You can also work on it in your spare time, of course, which means):
  • Treehouse will be used to keep track of these projects.
  • More details on how we’re going to organize this next week.

Of course, it goes unsaid that coreteam should set the example for the rest of us. So I’m going to make sure everyone builds something ;-)

Communication

I realize that we’ve not been clear on everything that’s going on in the club. Consider this email my apology, and know that I’ll work on pushing atomized updates to the mailing list in the near future. (Or we might move to Treehouse, I don’t know).

I also realize that the coreteam has two options in achieving our goal: grow the team, or write more software to make managing the club easier. For the time being, I believe the latter option is the answer. Because: i) we’re hackers, ii) we want to avoid bureaucracy like NES or NUSSU. Being small and scrappy has its benefits.

That’s all from me folks.

Please chime in if you have suggestions, ideas, or pointers.

Thank you for your time,

Ced

I come bearing news of NUS Hackers’s plans for the new semester, along with details of a new membership structure.

Anyway, let’s get down to business:

There are two kinds of events we’ll be holding in the new semester: i) weekly meetings, called Friday Hacks, and ii) larger, one-off events, like workshops and talks. But before that: let’s talk about the welcome tea.

Welcome Tea

NUS Hackers will have its welcome tea two Fridays from now, on the 2nd of September. There are still a couple of things we would have to confirm, but here are the details:

Date: 2nd September 2011
Time: 6.30pm to 8.30-ish pm.
Venue: School of Computing COM1 SR3 [COM1/212].
Agenda: We want to keep this to about an hour. Alumni will be speaking, the current president will explain some administrative stuff, and then we’ll all break for talking, free pizza and drinks.

Friday Hacks

Every Friday from here on to the Reading Week we will have regular meetings called Friday Hacks, from 7pm to 10pm. The idea behind these meetings are two-fold:

  1. We get together and code. The emphasis here being that you must code. It could be anything – be it an OSS contribution, or a personal project, or even homework, but we plan for this to be the weekly gathering point for all members of NUS Hackers. Occasionally we plan to have people come over to give informal tech talks (say, a 1-hour introduction to NOSQL, for instance).
  2. These meetings would be the main focus for our community building efforts. The coreteam will have inclusive discussions and announce news during the meetings themselves. We also encourage teaming up on random projects, asking for questions/help, and looking over people’s shoulders to learn new things.
We held a dry-run last Friday, and while there may still be some kinks to work on, we are going to have a Friday Hacks session this coming Friday. Details:
Date and Time: 26 August, 7pm-10pm (you may leave anytime, but be there at the beginning)
Location: University Town Mac Commons, Meeting Room 01-05D (watch this post, or subscribe to our mailing list for possible changes to venue)
Bring: A computer and earphones. Also: a sweater (in case we decided to switch to one of those bloody cold Tembusu learning lobe rooms)
Agenda: Some announcements at the start, followed by programming shortly after. We encourage teaming up and/or asking for help from participants!
Two more things: 1) Check the calendar on our Events page for future Friday Hacks, this will be constantly updated to reflect venue and times of all our future events. 2) There will be free drinks at future Friday Hacks. Because we’re awesome that way.

Membership Structure

Both the Friday Hacks and the Welcome Tea will touch on the next big thing this semester: we are finally introducing a formal membership structure for NUS Hackers. Details are as follows:
  • The main meetup for NUS Hackers members will be the Friday Hacks
  • Perks: members get priority registration for our events; also, if we charge for our events, members will get to pay a cheaper fee
  • All existing members of the mailing list who are also NUS students are immediately members.
  • We are to maintain a list of members, their emails, contact information, year, etc.
  • Members who are dedicated may be upgraded into the coreteam, using the same informal process that we are currently using. Note: this approach may not scale, but the coreteam has agreed that it works for the time being, while we focus on getting our community-building efforts off the ground.
  • We have four non-guaranteed exco accommodation slots, and ten non-guaranteed member accommodation slots under the new RHAPS system. Details for allocation of these slots will be made public during the Welcome Tea.

Workshops

There are a couple or large-ish workshops that we plan to do this semester. More details as we finalize things with the respective speakers, but here’s a rough sketch:
  • A series of 3 Python programming workshops, designed to teach non-programmers from scratch, by the Singapore Python User Group. Over the past two weeks, two members from the Coreteam have been helping out as facilitators at LadyPy – a series of Python programming workshops for women, held at NTU. We are currently working to bring the same series of workshops to the NUS studentry. Status: confirmed, but details not confirmed (it may be for women-only, like at NTU).
  • 2-4 workshops in the same vein as the Hack Workshop Series last year. Potential speakers and topics include open source contributing, Agile Software Development (possibly by Pivotal Labs), and UNIX know-how. Status: still in the planning stages; one or two workshops confirmed.

Other Activities

We are building a cluster this semester, for fun (and, well, to learn). This project will be under the direction of coreteam member Shan. We currently have a number of donated computers from a High School, transported with help from Hackerspace.sg, lying around in our clubroom, and awaiting eager volunteers.

Geekcamp 2011 – this year’s Geekcamp 2011 would be held tentatively on the 1st of October, at Microsoft. NUS Hackers will be attending, and we intend to help source student speakers from NUS, as well as running publicity to the campus crowd.

Software Freedom Day 2011 - as is tradition, members of the coreteam will help man a booth at this year’s Software Freedom Day, to be held on the 17th of September at the National Library.

There are still one or two more activities that I cannot yet announce as they are still in the planning stages. But I hope you’re as excited by this line-up as we are, and I hope to see you (and your friends!) as we begin executing on these activities throughout the new semester.

So, ACTIONABLE ITEMS: if you’d like to start hacking right away, please join us this Friday at UTown. (During the last session some of us messed around with XKCD’s CLI), otherwise, if you’d like to see what we’re about first, please come to our Welcome Tea the Friday after.

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Yours,
Cedric (along with the rest of the coreteam)
NUS Hackers, 2011

We are encouraging people to hack things together for the fun of it, for passion. This by itself is good enough to kick start some of the students’ journey to doing fun stuff, but I was thinking, what if there was a higher purpose behind it.

While I don’t agree with Ben Leong on many things, he has this philosophy that I subscribe to. The core of it is to do the right thing, to bring value to society, not for money, but because it’s the right thing to do.

I was thinking that we set up a new program under NUSHackers to hack together generic software for non-profit organizations for free. These organizations can request for features and someone could add it in when there’s time. Many of these organizations just need simple software that are small in size, and most of them require the same features. Unfortunately, the only organization creating these software for free for them is CVWO, which only handles 2 medium size projects a year, and have to reject the smaller projects.

I believe part of what we do as hackers, is to bring value to society. Why not encourage the students to actually do such things, instead of being coders for those biz monkeys, doing things for the sake of getting a job?

While there’s more money on that side, there’s more happiness on this side. If we keep doing the right things, NUSHackers might just become one of the clubs in NUS that creates the most value.

What do you guys say?

We said yes.

We haven’t fully worked out the details of this project, but we are already thinking about the organizational structure needed to make this work. Whatever we write – it would be open source, and it’d likely also be reusable for many of the organizations who are in need of some web software.

But the best thing about this is that it makes perfect sense. It’s in line with why we’re doing all these things at NUS Hackers, and whatever good comes of it will outlive the current coreteam. Plus:

  • You benefit. Anyone can join up – submit code, or report issues. And managing an open-source project is sure to be an eye-opening experience (one that’s just as valid in the real world as the traditional software development cycle taught in the sterile conditions of school). Plus it’s fun, plus everyone involved has working code that helps when you’re looking for a job.
  • We benefit. We’re interested in spreading the hacker culture. What better way to do that than to build things together?
  • The world benefits. Open source code is available to everyone, so it’s not just the non-profit organizations that win out. And it makes our lives easier when such organizations come to us for help with setting up their sites for them.

This initiative makes sense on so many levels, and we’re rather excited just thinking about it. More news in a bit.

We did 8 workshops this semester and the response from the audience was really good. We (also) got to learn a lot after doing all these workshops.

So what we think is that learning is important and is a never ending process. And we will be providing you with workshops in the future too to make sure learning never stops. And we are getting better at doing the workshops :P (If you cannot attend them, the material will always be present on the linuxNUS website)

We want to develop applications for fun and learning. There are ideas everywhere. And I think each one of us can execute these ideas – either by forming a team or by doing it yourself. Its really fun to see your application or your code helping somebody. And we want to bridge the gap between the audience and us doing the workshops.

So next semester, we will be focusing a lot on making applications, websites and software – Implementing our own ideas and doing things that we like. We have lots of small ideas and the best way to learn is to learn it by doing. So expect a lot of coding sessions where we all sit together in places (COM1, canteens etc) to code for all sorts of random things.

Have a look at this to get what we mean – https://github.com/nushackers

Just to give it a push – we will be closing down the hws@linuxnus.org method of reaching out to you and starting a separate mailing list for the Hack Workshops, discussions and all the cool stuff that we do. Join this mailing list here http://groups.google.com/group/nushackers where its not just a one way communication of we guys sending you the details of the workshops etc. You can join in the discussions and get to meet a lot many interested souls who can collaborate on all sorts of interesting projects.

Also, we are planning to rename our group from linuxNUS to Hackers@NUS – we realized, we are more than just Linux :) We have lots of cool stuff in the pipeline for next semester. Join the mailing list to be in the loop for the activities. Came across an interesting link? let the CS42 know :P

If you are interested in joining the coreteam and think you can help us with our activities, drop in an email coreteam at linuxnus dot org

Btw, if you are wondering what is CS42 -
We were usually discussing some interesting topics on a restricted linuxNUS mailing list.
CS42 is simply to get those discussions kickin for if(isNerd) return true;

CS = Computer Science
42 = the answer to life the universe and everything

“Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.”

The next session in the Hack Workshop series is by JB Steadman from Pivotal Labs. He is coming down to speak on Agile Development Practices. It is a Non-technical workshop and would be of great significance for project teams.

The agile development process is often followed by many startups and software development labs.

From the Agile Manifesto :


We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

This workshop will definitely help you in working in teams and in building software applications in the most productive manner possible.

Venue : COM1/202, School of Computing NUS

Time : 6.30-8.30pm

Date : 15th October, Friday

Places only limited for the first 70 registrants

The workshop was attended by around 35 people and we had almost everybody who had registered for the workshop!

The workshop covered installing Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) in Virtual Box for most of the attendees and as a 2nd OS for those who requested. Unfortunately, the SoC network was damn slow and we had to pass thumb-drives around for the VirtualBox setup. But ultimately it worked out and within half an hour everybody was running an Ubuntu VM! The coreteam members were helping around with different kinds of installation issues and everything worked out smooth.

Next topic was package installation through Synaptics Package Manager and through command line. We also helped setup a LAMP server which would help everybody test their PHP code later.

The main aim of the workshop was to introduce to the look and feel of Ubuntu Linux and some basic Terminal commands. Those who are starting programming in the Linux environment for web applications would find it really helpful to practice some commands, google errors (if any) and try and find the solution of the problems they face. Otherwise we are always there to help.

Here is the material for the workshop.

You can ping us anytime coreteam (at) linuxnus (dot) org if you face any problem with setting up your Linux or any issue with drivers etc.

Logo

linuxNUS and NUS Entrepreneurship Society bring to you the “Hack Workshop Series”.

Here’s the thing: we’re most interested in hackers and entrepreneurs. If you want to be an entrepreneur but you don’t have sufficient technical skills, come to us and we’ll give you a good boost in the right direction. And if you’re a hacker, no problem: come to us anyway and we’ll share with you cool new tools that you might want to play around with. (Plus: you’ll meet plenty of code ninjas and startup people – always a good thing, in our opinion!)

The Hack Workshop Series will cover both technical and non-technical aspects of development. We’ve gotten some of the best people to teach it: developers from local open-source developer groups, web entrepreneurs and various members of the local startup community.

Here are a couple of things we’re going to focus on:
- simplicity in design
- teamwork in technical teams
- scalable models / adaptability to change
- power of open-source
- collaboration
- proper development practices
- the importance of self-learning

We will be collaborating with local open source developer groups, entrepreneurs and startups for the workshops. Currently the following organisations are helping us with the workshops

*The Best Time of The Week*

We know you’re likely to have busy lives, so we’ve scheduled all our workshops for Friday evenings. That way there won’t be any time clashes with most of your lectures. Expect 8-10 workshops this semester; ranging from technical to non-technical levels of difficulty. (And, yes, by technical we mean basic programming knowledge.)

If that isn’t good enough, we will _also_ be holding Hackfests throughout the semester. Hackfests are gatherings where you get to work on your own ideas and projects, just for the heck of it. Why hack? Well we do it for fun, but the pizza sharing helps. And if you come up with something cool, we’ll showcase and discuss your ideas throughout the rest of the workshops!

Here is a tentative list of the workshops -
(Stay tuned for the schedule!)

(T – Technical, N – Non-technical)

  • Installfest – Setting up a development Environment (T)
  • The UNIX Philosophy (N)
  • Version Control (T)
  • HTML5 CSS3 (T)
  • PHP CodeIgniter Framework (T)
  • Agile Development (T)
  • Team Development Practices (N)
  • Presentation/Pitching Skills (N)
  • Start-up Talks (N)
  • User Interface Design (N)

Forming teams with fellow attendees is encouraged, but that’s really up to you. We also encourage you to come up with your own entrepreneurial ideas and develop them along with the workshops.

Here’s the catch, though: attendance to each workshop is capped to a limit. Its on a first-come first-serve basis.

You can pre-register for the workshop series and the launch event here - http://bit.ly/baD3dP

The launch event is scheduled for 20th August, Friday evening, 6.30pm in SoC. The venue will be confirmed to the registrants soon.
