Welcome to the CS 101 course wiki.
Easy Keyspan installation on Ubuntu
Meghan Clark's discovered a relatively painless way to get Keyspan drivers onto Ubuntu (without having to recompile the kernel... phew). Navigate here and download the .deb file at the bottom. If you need additional help, mail me.
Presentation Attendance
The list of people I marked present for the elevator pitches can be found here. If you're not on there, we've got a problem and you should contact Zoran, Katherine, or I immediately.
Also, remember that attendance is graded in this class. Some of you are slipping, and subsequently your grades are in danger. This doens't imply that if you're sick you should try to make it to class; for Pete's sake, if you're sick, mail one of us and stay home; you'll be excused.
Proposal information
Paper
Due Tuesday, November 10 (next week), before class. Ideally sooner -- it gives you more time to work on your project! No less than one page 12pt times roman single-spaced. You need to propose an item to do, and argue:
- Why you think you can do it in time and with the resources you have. Also why you think your group has the chops to do it.
- Why it's interesting.
- What kinds of CS topics are involved in doing the project.
Make sure the paper includes the names of all group members involved. If someone who is listed to be in your group in this forum thread hasn't contacted you, this is a problem. Mail me (jobeirn1 at gmu dot edu).
Elevator pitch
One representative from your group will deliver the pitch Tuesday, November 10 (next week), the same day the paper is due, during class. You get 2.5 minutes and 1 slide. E-Mail Dr. Duric your slide Monday, November 9, before 11:55PM. The slide should include:
- A succinct title for your project.
- The names of all your group members. These are people who you have made contact with or have made contact with you. No dead weight.

Pick up your robots!
