Initial Progress

Although it is only the second day of class, a lot of individual and team progress has been made. Individually, blogs have been put up and posts have been posted. The most progress that has been made has been  made on my team, 4's company. In case anyone is wondering why we're called "4's Company", there's 1 male and 3 females in our group. We got the idea from the old T.V show 3's Company (if you haven't heard of it, you should Google it...pretty good show).
Today we got the opportunity to get together and begin to discuss potential projects to work this semester. After each of us considered our individual interests and then came together, we realized that we all were interested in working on similar projects. We finally were able to narrow our choices down to three:

Sugar Labs
OLPC (One Laptop Per Child)
OO4Kids ("OpenOffice for Kids")

The Flux Capacitors, which includes my arch nemesis Alex Johnson ( :D ) has chosen the same three as we have...but I believe we have decided to settle our differences and keep our same ones and work around it. (love you Alex)
Our next move is to figure out which of these three projects interests us the most, and give more detail on it. Brief descriptions of each of our top three are located in our team Wiki (the link is in the upper right hand corner under 'CSCI462 Links'). You can also visit the websites and see for yourself what they're all about.
I think I myself am leaning more towards working with Sugar Labs, especially since that would still give us the opportunity to work with OLPC.

I am open to any input or anything from anyone...this is going to be a long, fun semester :)
