Finishing the project

Hello People!!

Today, ColourTeam or Blue Team as you prefer, has delivered the final versions of the STD and the SVVP, but that's not all because we have also delivered the last BPR (the fifth) and the PHD the last document of the project.

We just have to check on Monday the PHD and we will be finished with the project Un.linkito.no.mx. During the fourth months that the group has worked together, we have had good times, bad ones, exasperant ones and also funny ones.

I think that you must keep the good ones and learn from the bad ones so you can try to avoid them in the future. Also I am happy because now we know a whole methodology that is used in the european union and we can look a project from different points of views and be prepared and also predict what the other can wait or need.

I will post something else tomorrow or on monday, because on thursday there is going to be a conference about software, I think, that we are going to go; so if someone wants the details I will have them on Monday and post them.

Thank you all

Cheers

NEWS: MySQL has been sold!!!

Hello all

I forgot to say that in class we have known that Sun had bought MySQL and as I was curious, I have begun searching the web and I have found some interesting web pages where it is explained, as I know that some of the readers of this blog speak Spanish I put two links, one for the english speakers and another for the spanish ones:

• Spanish news
• English news

Also, in those articles, it is explained how is the war between Sun and Oracle and if you can check the English site because it is explained in a very funny way.

What I have not found is the name of hte now Sun property MySQL, because they will probably change the name (stupid thing because everyone knows it as MySQL, but that's only my opinion). So if someone knows it, please tell us in a comment.


Thanks

STD Review and class discussion

Hello bloggers:

The final day is coming... this appear like a B-serie movie, but it's true, there is only one week left to know whose blog will win, if any (please, please there must be one). We are keeping our spirits hight, but also we know that we must work in it, so today we post an interesting post (haha, it rimes).

Anyway, after that monologue, today we had class (only 2 left) and we review the STD (Software Transfer Document). In it we explained the tests that have been performed (as there is no implementation, there are none), the build procedures (variables and requirements that once the system runs, it is going to need from the development point of view) and some summary about the changes and request done by the customer during the 4 months project.

That's great if not boring, but what in our case was really important and it took time, was the user manual, it was great because we used mexican expressions and really cool captions on the prototype. So we are really happy that our customer liked this part.

Another thing , if you remember I posted a discussion about the new version of the office (if not click here) and in class as one of the groups had a problem with the version of the office, that post was discussed ( I AM HAPPY HAPPY THAT SOMEONES READS THIS BLOG) and basically most people thought as me, that it has not been a good update. SO I 'd like to know what people think about that.

Also this weekend we are going to deliver the PHD(Project History Document) and the last BPR, and then we are done, also as I am the project manaager I have the tasks of the finantial issue, and I am happy to inform everyone that we have overspend only 97€ (Overspend is no great, but we have only past our budget of 42,000€ in 97€ so that's quite good for a first time project)

That's all, wait until the next post

Bye

Today session!!

Hello bloggers:

This evening we have had a different kind of session in our class of SE3 (software engineering 3). The class was divided in two parts:

• A brief (okay, not so brief there were 68 slides) about CMM and Web 2.0 and 3.0 (semantical Web).
• A discussion about a real case regarding the company T-systems and the outsourcing development.

It is true that this evening we were not very pro-active so the class was not as dynamic as always (I think it was because it is monday and the finals are near), but nevertheless we reached some knowledge about the basics of the topics.
Now we know that if we want to earn lots of money and we don't mind doing boring stuff, we can work in the CMM world, and that people think that Web 2.0 and 3.0 is the future of Internet.
Ohh another important aspect: if you don't have a Linkedin profile, what are ou waiting for??? I have already mine and also a facebook, a myspace, a flicker, and a lot more profiles and accounts in web 2.0 applications.

Yes, I am a little bit friky, but I am also a computer science engineer (ok, almost one), so I am entitle to be so. (The first step in every addition is to understand that you have a problem, hahaa)

That's all for tonight

Cheers
