Jeff Terrell: We're gonna go ahead and get started here.
Jeff Terrell: A little bit late.
Jeff Terrell: Just still trying to get set up. Let me mention the pitch information is on the website. The URL is here.
Jeff Terrell: at UNC edu slash projects and I don't quite have the pitches themselves posted yet and I don't necessarily have all the details for
Jeff Terrell: This the pitches that are going to happen. Monday posted either, but it's at least the start so
Jeff Terrell: You can check that out to follow along if you want, or of course things, who should be just be on the screen here during the meeting.
Jeff Terrell: Thanks to all of our clients for being here. We've got half of the compliments of clients going to day 13 pitches back to back, should be a busy day. And we have another 13 going on Monday.
Jeff Terrell: So,
Jeff Terrell: Yeah, if there's any issues with audio or anything else, feel free to raise your hand or probably chat would actually be preferable if you just post something in chat. All of this is being recorded so those who can't make it to class today can still
Jeff Terrell: Follow along asynchronously. And without further ado, we'll get started.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, I'm actually going to kick things off on behalf of Ryan Jones Lara cats and Jackie Cole, who
Jeff Terrell: Represent the NC therapeutic writing center and they are fairly short staffed and and fairly swamped and so they did put some slides together for me to go through
Jeff Terrell: But they are not going to be able to join us today. So you'll have to suffer through yet more of me talking, rather than getting to hear others splits there'll be more opportunities for that later, I suppose.
Jeff Terrell: OK, so the NC therapeutic Writing Center. Their mission is to empower children and adults with physical, mental, emotional and social challenges to create more active, healthy and fulfilling lives through equine assisted activities and therapies.
Jeff Terrell: their need for
Jeff Terrell: Has to do with coven before coven they had approximately 100 volunteers at clients and 20 staff members coming in and out of the center each week. Now they need an app to help check these people and record data and adhere with contract contact tracing guidelines.
Jeff Terrell: So yeah, one of the ways in which coven had 19 is complicated, our world.
Jeff Terrell: Right now they have three iPads connected to the Internet, which is how they check people in and out.
Jeff Terrell: And yeah, basically this is checking people in and out. There's a little bit more to it as I'll get to in a minute.
Jeff Terrell: But as they check people and they need to record some data for each check in, including answers to a health questionnaire. These would be yes or no questions.
Jeff Terrell: Signature on liability release.
Jeff Terrell: Temperature of the person checking in, as well as time in and time out for checkouts.
Jeff Terrell: Also, if people answer yes to certain questions they need the app to say you were denied entry. So there's a little bit of conditional logic here.
Jeff Terrell: That's basically the end of their slides. They said they're very excited about this project and look forward to working with you. But let me add one aspect of this which
Jeff Terrell: I think is important to add I'm going out on a limb here a little bit. I'm pretty sure we talked about this.
Jeff Terrell: Or at least service and the application materials so hopefully I don't have this detail wrong.
Jeff Terrell: But as I went through the slides I worried that this might appear to be a little bit simplistic and maybe super easy for team to do. So I wanted to throw in a curveball that I'm pretty sure we talked about
Jeff Terrell: Hopefully I'll be corrected. If I'm wrong, but the contacts tracing side of this makes things a little bit more complicated. So if somebody is denied entry because of temperature or something like that.
Jeff Terrell: And maybe that's not the case. But definitely, if somebody sort of has a confirmed case of coven
Jeff Terrell: That would be a situation of which they would want to look through the data and quickly be able to identify who are all the people that this person might have been exposed to this person who now has coven 19 so I suspect there will be more
Jeff Terrell: In this project, with regards to how do we quickly quickly identify and potentially even contact these people I'm
Jeff Terrell: Not sure how much of that we explicitly talked about, or how much of that I'm just imagining. So the client would be the ultimate authority on what they want. But I thought I'd mention that just because
Jeff Terrell: I don't want students coming away with the wrong idea that this is going to be as simple as perhaps the slides, make a sound.
Jeff Terrell: If there are any questions about the pitch. I can try to answer them. I probably won't be the best person to ask, but
Jeff Terrell: It acoustically. I don't think we have emails posted to the projects site. So if you have questions for first of all I will try to post emails to the projects page on the website.
Jeff Terrell: But also if you have any questions that occur to you after the fact, feel free to reach out to me if those emails aren't top and just remind me to get those emails up
Jeff Terrell: I think that's all I got. Let's move on to
Jeff Terrell: Pitch number two.
Jeff Terrell: And I will let. So this is our first attempt to do some remote control here.
Jeff Terrell: I'm going to let I assume Matt Berger or potentially Jeffrey dick.
Matthew Verber: Could you give it to my class, Scott. So he's a graduate student in the lab. So he'll be running the pitch today.
Jeff Terrell: Sure.
Jeff Terrell: All right, Matt, you should have remote control. Let me know if you have
Matthew Glasscott: Problems. All right. Looks great. Can everybody hear me okay
Matthew Glasscott: Awesome.
Matthew Glasscott: Hi, my name is Mack last Scott, I'm a graduate student and Jeffrey dicks lab. I'm here with Matt verbal, who's our resident electrical engineer, as well as another graduate student, Rebecca Clark and we're here to pitch.
Matthew Glasscott: For a team of app designers to come and help us build a hardware interface app for a device that we call the sweep stat and the sweep set. I'll go into a little bit here.
Matthew Glasscott: There we go. So some background on what the sweeps. That is, it's essentially an electrochemical device and what we do with electric chemistry is we
Matthew Glasscott: push electrons into or suck them out of a solution in order to make a measurement on a specific analyze in that solution that animal. I can range.
Matthew Glasscott: From a myriad of different species. We can we can detect TMT munitions other things. That's a project I'm working on in collaboration with the Army Corps of Engineers that in Vicksburg with currently
Matthew Glasscott: We have projects to detect environmental pollutants like P fast species and biological species. So there's a lot of applications that you can
Matthew Glasscott: Use electric chemistry for and gear it towards and so
Matthew Glasscott: Here, we also have this example single atom detection. So that's another resolution of an electrochemical measurement because we're measuring electrons, a single electron. And so these are very powerful techniques.
Matthew Glasscott: The issue with these techniques is to run them, you need to purchase generally instrumentation that cost anywhere from 5000 to $10,000. And so this can be prohibitive for educational
Matthew Glasscott: P eyes or for undergraduate facilities that are trying to get into making these measurements. And so our goal is to try to make an electrochemical device that was cheap.
Matthew Glasscott: Easy to use and to teach people the principles of electric chemistry, while allowing them to make relevant measurements and so towards that end we developed
Matthew Glasscott: The
Matthew Glasscott: Let me switch here. There we go. Oh no, to fall.
Matthew Glasscott: Asleep stat. And we've had two versions are sweeps that so far. The first version down here with this figure for tab was non Bluetooth enabled is just kind of the analog hardware for
Matthew Glasscott: This device which is generally term to potentially his dad, which makes these measurements. And so in version two. Now you can see up here.
Matthew Glasscott: With the measurements, besides just about the width of a credit card. So a little bit bigger than a credit card and we have this Bluetooth chip on it.
Matthew Glasscott: To encourage the use of cell phone app that we're trying to have developed to make these measurements for mobile. And so now the applications. We talked about for this kind of ice would be remote sensing. You can put this on your sleeve and make measurements.
Matthew Glasscott: And so we're trying to build a platform that will allow people to get into making these measurements more easily. And so there's just a couple
Matthew Glasscott: What are called Tamar grams. The types of data that these instruments allow us to collect down here and B and C and then a basic application that we actually worked with a team from this class last year to develop and so
Matthew Glasscott: The one of the best parts about this project is a lot of the groundwork has already been done the foundation, the framework for this app has been late
Matthew Glasscott: And so this year we're really hoping to complete the project by interfacing we have kind of a communication protocol set up with this Bluetooth chip.
Matthew Glasscott: And now we need to actually pull out real data for real sensing systems and good transformations on that data in order to turn it into concentrations of analyzing solution and other such parameters.
Matthew Glasscott: And so here just to emphasize that, again, originally we had this model built in a lab you program. And so, last year we just kind of lay it out basically foundation for doing that and an Android application, which we're looking to complete this year.
Matthew Glasscott: And
Matthew Glasscott: Yeah, so
Matthew Glasscott: In the interest of time. Just a real quick outline and goals, then
Matthew Glasscott: We have this gooey. As you can see it has these nice kind of neon colors and other things, it's functional, but we're really looking to improve the functionality completely gooey improve the aesthetics
Matthew Glasscott: We have this communication protocol, but we actually haven't had the opportunity to collect real data yet and plot real data do transformations
Matthew Glasscott: Data Processing automatic analyses like peak identification and and other such programs like that. So we have some data analysis parameters in here.
Matthew Glasscott: We want this to be able to upload the data that's collected to some kind of cloud portal, so that we can eventually, the goal is to
Matthew Glasscott: Create a database from which we can run machine learning a ton of algorithms to actually do these analyses automatically and report back data.
Matthew Glasscott: And then also evaluation remediation instrumental noise. There's a lot of that going on with these devices which is kind of like a nice hardware aspect that we're trying to optimize
Matthew Glasscott: As well as then taking this application that's an Android and translations iOS or a broader audience that's something that's kind of a
Matthew Glasscott: Skier and now we don't have to get to both be nice to have done as well. And so what will the student take away from our project like this. So you're going to have the opportunity to interface or learn how to interface with Bluetooth hardware.
Matthew Glasscott: designing this communication protocols actually reading out real data doing processing on that data. We're going to give you one of these devices. They're remarkably cheap and so
Matthew Glasscott: you'll actually be able to have one of these in your hands, your hands up, because we're all going to be working remotely.
Matthew Glasscott: To work with at home and and practice with this kind of project is high impact and high visibility. There's applications. As I was mentioning before to
Matthew Glasscott: All these different systems. And so for instance I'm down.
Matthew Glasscott: With the army right now at the engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg training engineers and chemists on how to use electro chemistry and these
Matthew Glasscott: Remote deployable sweeps that's to make measurements. And so there's a lot of opportunity in that regard for collaborations letters of recommendation definitely rights of bomb letter of recommendation. I'll say, and you'll get to work closely with him as well as with
Matthew Glasscott: The electrical engineer Matt Berber and I and then
Matthew Glasscott: We're hoping to take this whole platform and wrap it into a peer reviewed publication. When complete, which would be if you wanted to work on that at the interested you in terms of going into academia, in the future, you'd have the opportunity to be an author on that you contributed
Jeff Terrell: Okay, and we're at time. Thank you Matt glass Scott for that pitch.
Matthew Glasscott: Right. Thank you.
Jeff Terrell: All right, I realized that I can't respond to comments or post one minute warnings when my screen is being remote controlled so
Jeff Terrell: I will do it. I can remember for those presenting to
Jeff Terrell: You have to click once into the, the share to be able to then control from there. And yeah, let's see.
Matthew Glasscott: All right.
Jeff Terrell: Next up is actually a YouTube
Jeff Terrell: Presentation from Russ Taylor, who could not be here. He's a former faculty member in the computer science department. Now, the President of rely assault. I'm going to open up this
Jeff Terrell: Let's see here. Going to juggle a little bit to get this screen shared
Jeff Terrell: And I also need to be sure I'm sharing my computer audio. If it's too loud or too quiet, feel free to post in the chat.
Jeff Terrell: Give me one second here.
Jeff Terrell: Okay.
Jeff Terrell: Can you all see Russ thumbs up
Jeff Terrell: Okay, great.
Jeff Terrell: Hopefully the audio will come through. Here we go.
Jeff Terrell: Hi, my name is Rose Taylor and I'm a Tar Heel. I came to Carolina as an undergrad in 1985 and end up staying for my PhD and sign in 1994
Jeff Terrell: I stayed on research faculty for 20 years before switching to a full time consulting and 2015
Jeff Terrell: I still remember the project. I worked on for my team software engineering classic Carolina. I hope that whatever project you choose to work on will be as fun for you as mine was for me.
Jeff Terrell: The project I have for you combine two of the fun things from my time at Carolina. It's a way for you to learn some new coding skills by combining two open source projects.
Jeff Terrell: It's a bit open ended. There are some basic parts will make a cool system, but they're also a ton of interesting additions and extensions. If you have time
Jeff Terrell: The first project is called Memorial and it's an ASCII art based dungeon crawling game that I first played on the mainframe computer when I was an undergrad.
Jeff Terrell: was so fun that I want to play with my dorm room, but you had to have a special terminal the handle the way the characters updated so I ended up writing a VT 100 at terminal emanated from Apple too so that I could play it.
More your works by laying out characters on the screen with each character representing different object GOT SOME BLANKS FOR THE FLOOR hash marks or walls and the at sign is you
You move around and take actions by pressing keys and that causes part of all displayed update and these cars, the screen to repaint updating the map and overlaying messages and status updates on the panel to the left.
One way that Maury is different from a lot of first person shooters today, you don't get to respond.
When your character dies, you get a tombstone, and a place in the scoreboard, and they have to start completely over with a new character.
I remember begging the system administrator to restore my character that I have been playing for weeks on my terminal connect and dropped in the middle of the gate playing and killed my character.
They relented and saved my character after I promised I wasn't trying to get around today character rule.
A lot of other people love more, you too. And it's been re implemented through the years, the current version is called New you Maurya and has hosted on Github
Is written in C and comes with a see make build configuration file that makes it easy to build on Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as other embedded systems.
The see make you can think of the project and construct build files for Visual Studio or act code or command line make or the tool chains.
It looks at the library, you need and links on Linux and Mac the curses library. These to get ahold of on Windows, when we do install it from source. I don't care which of these platforms we end up using
The second project with virtual reality VR.
When I was a grad student. We were inventing libraries technologies to make it easy to use head mounted displays for feedback arms and high power microscopes to work together to let scientists push around individual molecules and virus particles to see what made them tick.
In 2014 I started working with open source project VR project OS VR it build both open source hardware and open source software.
To let anybody develop new games new displays or new devices and hook them together into the ecosystem that runs across Linux, Mac and Windows
There's both on the screen and in HD based display modes to let you explore virtual environments, including head tracking and talking with various input controllers.
This project is also available on GitHub and also build using see make
It come with example programs and OpenGL that show how to make a world out of cubes and other objects different colors and textures and OpenGL makes it easy to add text into the virtual environment which will be useful for showing heads up display and map overview
I made a Windows installer for OCR lets you get started right out of the box. There's also clear instructions for how to build the whole system from scratch on Linux, Mac and Windows
Together with example programs. The sets to write C or c++ code to display virtual worlds, you can look around and and fly around and using game controllers.
So by now. I'm sure you see where I'm going with the project. I'd like to be able to play Morea from inside VR and have the objects in the game displayed in the world around me.
The map will be transformed from 2D to 3D on gays commands and controller commands will be converted to keyboard commands to drive the text game.
The first version of just have the 2D meet map laid out on the floor VR world with the characters for each spot, drawing on it as if I was standing on the surface, the screen.
On next the characters will be parsed I'm used to make a floor stealing and wall geometry, again, maybe with the characters pasted on the geometry.
And third gaze direction and controller commands will be mapped and the keyboard commands to let me start playing the exploration and combat portions of the game inside VR.
All the tools and knowledge needed to do this are already available. Lots of it comes with tutorials and I'll be available to help point you in the right direction for for the rest
You can do all the development using screen based display and just change the configuration file and let us use a head mounted display to walk around in it.
I've got some game controllers and an extra H amp D that you can use for development and this will still be a planning game, not a twitch game, but having it in VR is going to be so cool.
Forward to helping to mentor us. He is you learn see make OS VR OpenGL and how to hook together open source systems to bring this classic game into VR.
Jeff Terrell: Great. Oh, I didn't mute myself. Okay, so that's VR Maurya
Jeff Terrell: Um, let me switch back to PowerPoint.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, connect
Juli Vanderburg: Hi everybody, my name is
Juli Vanderburg: I'm a third year school psychology student. I'm currently
Juli Vanderburg: Next one.
Jeff Terrell: Julie unfortunately you're
Jeff Terrell: This is really lagging
Jeff Terrell: And I'm hearing a lot of
Juli Vanderburg: Good. Next slide please.
Jeff Terrell: I think it's, I think there's a lot of delay here. I'm going to ask everybody who's sharing video, including me to turn video off and Julie, you can turn on or turn it off will let you know if you turn it on, it's a slow. Let's all turn video off to help bandwidth. Little bit.
Jeff Terrell: Go ahead, Julian.
Jeff Terrell: Julie. I see you're unmuted. But I don't hear you. Do you hear me.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, my might be some audio or some network issues here.
See
Jeff Terrell: This, you might have just dropped, actually. So, um, we'll come back.
Jeff Terrell: If we can to Julie Vandenberg with
Jeff Terrell: Oh wait.
Juli Vanderburg: I just dropped, but I'm back in. Do you want me to go ahead and try
Jeff Terrell: Let's try it. Give it a shot.
Juli Vanderburg: Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'll
Juli Vanderburg: Start over. So my name is Julie. I'm a third year school psychology
Juli Vanderburg: Student In the doctoral program at UNC and I'm part of the cube social innovator accelerator program and I'm working through that to help try to develop this app, which I'm calling connected. For now, but I'm open to other ideas about it.
Juli Vanderburg: And I think I'm viewing your screen, but don't have control of it, Jeff.
I now. Sorry.
Juli Vanderburg: Okay, there we go.
Jeff Terrell: So,
Juli Vanderburg: Since this is more of a social justice sort of project. I wanted to
Juli Vanderburg: Briefly provide an overview of the challenge that I'm trying to solve with the development of this app.
Juli Vanderburg: So essentially through my work in the school psychology program. I've realized that a lot of parents of children with developmental disabilities and special needs, often lack resources access to services and also sort of personal connections and sense of community.
Juli Vanderburg: There are a lot of parents who find that they feel really alone in the challenges they face when raising their special needs children.
Juli Vanderburg: And while there are some services that are available for them the institutions are often difficult to navigate, especially for those in more rural communities.
Juli Vanderburg: Or people who maybe have access to less education or our English language learners or those types of demographics, so
Juli Vanderburg: I wanted to try to create an app to counteract this and provide a little bit more access to services through the use of mobile technology and also create a community for parents who are raising children with special needs.
Juli Vanderburg: So yeah, so my mission is to help caregivers of children with developmental disabilities connect so that they can learn from one another, build relationships and overall feel less alone.
Juli Vanderburg: While facing the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child and my vision for this is an app based solution, which is why I'm here, pitching to your class today.
Juli Vanderburg: So there are a few components of this app that I would like to see. So I want to have sort of an advocacy informational sort of module kind of section of the app.
Juli Vanderburg: I noticed that a lot of parents don't have a good sense of what their rights are but in terms of what rights to services that they have and what services are available for their children how to advocate for their children.
Juli Vanderburg: So I'd like to have a component of the app that provides some information on the segments. I'm also interested in this sort of community building aspects among the population.
Juli Vanderburg: And so I'm interested in creating kind of like a dating app sort of situation where parents would be able to create a profile, where they say who they are.
Juli Vanderburg: They talking about who their child is like what disability, they might have
Juli Vanderburg: Their age, things like that. And then through that are able to find other parents with similar situations in the area to connect so that they can chat about their experiences.
Juli Vanderburg: Give each other information tips about accessing services and that sort of thing. So for example, if I was apparent with a 14 year old with autism in you know Fayetteville, I might be able to
Juli Vanderburg: Use this app to connect to somebody else in a similar situation.
Juli Vanderburg: Along with that I'm interested in having a part of the app that creates that's like a chat forum so it would be kind of a Q AMP. A almost like Reddit where you could put in questions.
Juli Vanderburg: And other parents could read through and answer those. I'd also like to have a geographical guide to services in the area so
Juli Vanderburg: There are services available. But as I mentioned, it's difficult to access those and navigate those. So this would be it would track your location and say, Here I am.
Juli Vanderburg: Here the services in this kind of category that are available or, for example, and that can be like sort of therapeutic services, but also like
Juli Vanderburg: You know, if you have a child with autism who has sensory sensitivities. Let's find a pediatrician, who is used to working with that population or even like a hairdresser, who will be able to adjust for that.
Juli Vanderburg: Just sort of tips for parents in that way. And then I'd like to have some sort of organization tools like calendar behavior tracking medication management, etc.
Juli Vanderburg: So I noticed, this is a lot of different components. But one of the advantages to working on this project is that you will have a lot of flexibility.
Juli Vanderburg: So I don't really have much of a technology background I am coming to you guys, so I want this if we work together to be a really collaborative projects I want
Juli Vanderburg: To have your input on what you think would be the best way to design these services, you're going to get to choose which component you think would be most interesting
Juli Vanderburg: Or one that you think would really help you grow and you know foster your educational experience. We can talk about what language you want to use what potential tools.
Juli Vanderburg: I want this to be a good experience for you and your class so that you have
Juli Vanderburg: Again, the sort of opportunity to work on a project where you get a lot of flexibility, you get to have a voice in the process.
Juli Vanderburg: And at the same time you're doing something really positive for the community. This is something that I'm hoping will really impact. A lot of people in a positive ways, but the parents and the children.
Juli Vanderburg: Involved in this and I've had a lot of conversations with community members who really believe that this app does have potential to make a difference. So
Juli Vanderburg: I think that, well, I again I'm not coming up in it with as much as the technology information. I think that it could be a really cool opportunity for you to get really good to focus in on what you think is cool, have a say in sort of how the app develops.
Juli Vanderburg: And how you want to proceed with that and then also make a difference. And that's all I have. Unless there are any questions. Thank you.
Jeff Terrell: You've got maybe 30 seconds for questions in the chat or somebody wants to unmute
Juli Vanderburg: Obviously, yes, I see that it would be like an iPhone or Android like a mobile
Jeff Terrell: Good question.
Jeff Terrell: Okay thank you Julie.
Jeff Terrell: By we could get those technical issues resolved.
Juli Vanderburg: Yeah.
Jeff Terrell: Awesome. All right.
Jeff Terrell: Um, let's see, I think. Next is Stacy.
Cottrell
Jeff Terrell: Stacy. Do you want I can either share with audio if you want me to just run through it with her audio that you've recorded or I can share without audio. If you want to speak. What would you prefer.
Jeff Terrell: Stacey, if you're trying to respond. But you are muted.
staceycottrell: Okay. Can you hear me now.
Jeff Terrell: Yes. Okay.
staceycottrell: Um, I'll introduce myself. And then if you want to start like on the second slide because I did record this last night. So I pretty much
staceycottrell: Saying what through each slide that I need to say
staceycottrell: Okay. Um, I am a doctoral student at East Carolina in the family nurse practitioner program. And so for my project. I want to partner with you guys.
staceycottrell: Because I have gone to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Carolinas chapter and essentially went to them and found out what they had a need for as a practice problem they identified that they need to meet
staceycottrell: With patients virtually obviously with everything going on, so they gave me that as their problem. And my solution is what I'm coming to you guys with because
staceycottrell: I'm not a technology person at all. So this project was really open to kind of make it what you guys would want to do. So I will give you my idea through the slides here, and you can hopefully help me out.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, thanks. I'll proceed.
Jeff Terrell: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system and other organs in the body.
Jeff Terrell: Mutated copying a CF gene is passed from each parent to child in order for them to have the disease.
Jeff Terrell: Essentially what happens is there's thick sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and the pancreas and other organs, creating problems for the CF patient
Jeff Terrell: These can be life threatening as CF patients are just more susceptible to lung infections because of this thick mucus and therefore they in general require
Jeff Terrell: A six foot distance from others will see if that can transmit dangerous bacteria and others that are eel, even if they don't have CF because these infections are more deadly and lethal to them than the general population.
So with the knowledge that CF patients in general have to distance six foot from others will see off and general population when their eel.
coven 19 pandemic has just added to that. Now they're at an increased risk and there's more of a need for them to isolate from others. So it's created a problem which the CF Foundation has identified
And this is the reason for the virtual patient outreach and advocacy that they're looking for a solution to. So in general, CF patients.
Right now are not able to enter facilities, they're not able to do their normal care a lot of their access to healthcare is through virtual visits.
The CF foundation itself is not working out of the office. Most places are not so a lot of CF patients are not able to connect to the resources that they normally would. So this is the issue.
So the virtual patient advocate.
Is a way to connect patients to this need in Kenya and the resources. So how I want to bridge this gap is producing a QR code.
That will be provided all local access points in the system in the nursery if they're diagnosed at birth in the providers offices, if they're transferring into our local area or if they are newly diagnosed
And then the care centers and health departments where patients are being saying, so we don't miss anyone
This QR code will be an instant access in this day of technology where patients are automatically connected to hopefully the virtual patient advocate that you're going to help program and the local CF chapter
So my benefits of the virtual patient advocate would be that it will be available 24 seven and it will connect patients and caregivers to resources without having to
Make an appointment, make a call to a provider during office hours.
So what I'm vision of the avatar.
I've done research and people are more comfortable and less intimidated talking to a provider of their preference. So maybe some variation in the gender. The ethnicity. The age, whether it's a younger provider versus an older provider.
But something to patient maybe had a little choice and choosing that they could talk to
I would like a provider office background setting so that it is seen, and as professional and information coming from a trustworthy reliable source.
I guess I envision right now more of a chat box style program for communication. So I talked to text or where they can type in their questions.
And then this is where I would need your help and figure it out programming was
What type of
Program Award Best a decision type tree where answers or input and trigger words or phrases would trigger that response.
Or even questions that can't be answered or medical advice type questions which I know we can't get into right now would prompt more of a call your provider or call or email your CF Carolina's chapter representative for more information. If those type questions are asked
And I would ultimately like where the patient had a preference if they were given that response to say I would like a call back or I would like an email from
A representative from the CF foundation or from a provider to help me with questions that I have there beyond what the avatar can provide because the. Not a lot of people are really comfortable talking on the phone, but they would better communicate through email.
Jeff Terrell: So that's Stacey. Sorry, we're actually at six minutes already. So I'll just leave this slide up for a few seconds and move on.
staceycottrell: Okay, thank you for your time.
Jeff Terrell: Yep, sorry to cut you off there.
Okay.
Thank you.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, and
Jeff Terrell: All right. Yeah, there we go. Thank you. Stacy and let's move on to the next one, which is software project analytics by Roger player. I will start, I will actually share my video for this because I will be presenting on behalf of Roger
Jeff Terrell: I believe, Roger is actually in the meeting. So Roger if you wanted to enable your video, people can see who you are. But if not, that's fine. And
Jeff Terrell: I'm going to be presenting on behalf of Roger. He was a little bit out of his comfort zone actually doing a presentation and everything. So I offered to to assist a little bit here. So you won't you won't get any of his passion for this but
Jeff Terrell: Yeah, so the idea of software project analytics here.
Jeff Terrell: And I don't have any slides for this. So I'll just leave this slide up the idea is that
Jeff Terrell: When you have a larger software project, potentially, one that involves dozens or even more software engineers.
Jeff Terrell: It can be really challenging for people who manage those projects to understand whether the project is on track or not. And so you you have sometimes some pretty disastrous situations.
Jeff Terrell: Where there's a huge software project and management gets involved because, finally, there was enough of a problem that
Jeff Terrell: They had to kind of sound the alarm. Maybe the engineers or the managers have to sound the alarm and raise the issue. Maybe things were completely over budget, maybe things were going very, very late.
Jeff Terrell: Or maybe the software as a really poor quality but but for some reason.
Jeff Terrell: It's really hard for people who are managing especially a high level of managing these projects. It's hard to know kind of are things on track or not.
Jeff Terrell: The signal that they get is usually either silence or things are terrible. And there's a crisis. So the idea behind software project analytics, I think it was inspired by a talk that
Jeff Terrell: Roger listened to several years ago of a software practitioner who said I guess he had this idea for these four different metrics that would help.
Jeff Terrell: managers understand whether a project is on track or not.
Jeff Terrell: Now, Roger. I'm gonna, I'm going to kind of say my understanding of the project. And you can you can correct me if I'm way off base afterwards and maybe say hi as well so people can kind of hear your voice a little bit. But if you're comfortable
Jeff Terrell: But I'm just going to say my best guess about all of this stuff so
Jeff Terrell: I think the idea here is that
Jeff Terrell: The software engineers and potentially the managers of those engineers would
Jeff Terrell: Record various metrics. There's just four metrics that they would record maybe on a daily basis. Maybe weekly, something like that.
Jeff Terrell: And those metrics would be the foundation for people like at the sea level. The executives to be able to look and see, is this on track or not. How are, how are things doing basically
Jeff Terrell: Just an executive dashboard of the overall software project Roger actually has already created an iOS app in Swift with with iOS and x or sorry, with Xcode and the swift programming language.
Jeff Terrell: This is a prototype app, there's not, as I understand it, a graphical user interface yet. Everything is just reported to the Xcode console and what he would like to do when he would like for you to do if you sign on to this project.
Jeff Terrell: Is to take his code base and turn it into something that actually has a graphical user interface where the three different types of users could use the app that the three different types would be the actual software engineers, you know, the practitioners at the ground floor.
Jeff Terrell: The managers of those practitioners, as well as the C level executives and I think each of them would have a different view of
Jeff Terrell: Of the data and collecting the data and you know analytics on the data and graphs and things like that. So the project is basically to take this prototype happen at a gooey to it.
Jeff Terrell: There's about 3300 lines of code already
Jeff Terrell: Roger says it's very high quality very well commented, so hopefully won't be too hard to understand what's going on.
Jeff Terrell: And yeah hopefully this project could turn into a goofy app that would be useful to software engineers, potentially, some of you might work on larger projects that would benefit from this in the future. So that's all I can think to say, Roger. Is there anything you would like to add
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: Go to the app. Can you hear me.
Jeff Terrell: Yes, I can hear you.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: Know the app was motivated by talk. I heard by capers Jones.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: And the real problem was for C level executives that is corporate executive, such as CEOs and CFO.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: Understanding the status of that project in terms they could understand they didn't understand that the project management type of stuff. So the four metrics that I came up with was application software quality development team productivity.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: project cost effectiveness and development process effectiveness and those will be managed measured on a one to a five point scale indicating outstanding in each of those attributes and one would indicate very poor. All right.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: And I think it with a graphical interface showing the barcodes of stuff, they would give it in terms of those high level executives and intuitive understanding what was really going on.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: And there are many other details metrics for software managers and software practitioners
Jeff Terrell: Great.
Jeff Terrell: Thank you, Reggie, I forgot to mention those details.
Jeff Terrell: And I also forgot to mention Roger is the eighth recipient of a degree from the computer science department at UNC
Jeff Terrell: So he is an alumnus and a one of the original among my of the Department
Jeff Terrell: Okay, thank you. Roger.
Rodger Blair | Las Cruces NM: Thank you.
Jeff Terrell: All right, now I'm going to turn it over to Tyrell Carter to talk about anti
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Thank you, Jeff. My name is Tara Carter. I am the CEO and founder of auntie.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: And what we do here is that we developed software that helps small businesses with efficiency.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Okay.
I'm sorry.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Okay, I got it. Alright. So our mission is to kind of create a world in which anybody can become an entrepreneur and create a successful business and we focus on mainly creating value through
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Through
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Bringing data analytics software that is easy to use, easy to learn and easy to understand for small businesses because they typically don't have the time to learn new things and they are busiest and they're struggling the most right now.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: So what I'm going to go over today is the creation of on today, our promise the value we provide the competitive landscape and why it's not meeting the needs and the opportunity for you to support your community.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: So I'm from small town called Washington North Carolina and around March I took pictures of all the different businesses and they've all were affected by in one way or another, and they had to change their hours are the way they do business.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: So I decided that this was an important thing to go and figure out how to help these businesses. So I did customer interviews and discovery and I talked to morning 50 entrepreneurs restaurant owners managers future business owners and I found two major pain points that they had
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: One is being able to take their business to an online business transitioning can be extremely hard, especially when you've been doing in person business for so long.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: And the second one was being able to manage time entrepreneurs have to balance one millions of things all at the same time and being able to figure out what is the best management of time is a huge impact.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: So I last semester took this class and data analytics and I realized we could use what we're potentially learning in the class to help small businesses.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: And that's really where the idea of on tables form and this summer I participated in the launch Chapel Hill cohort and the cube cohort and was able to get funding from the launch and learn a lot and do a lot of customer discovering discover exactly what business owners need
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: So, what we will be doing this fall, is we're going to be beta testing with five companies to develop a dashboard in which that kind of integrates all the different
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Aspects of business of owning a business into one platform and alongside with that will be creating a website in which will be trying to
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: Create a, an area where these people can at least come on board and maybe even interact with each other.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: I have a little bit of background and self taught. I can do Python and JavaScript. This would be completely
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: You would have a lot of freedom in this project and you'd be working with software and you'd be helping a lot of small businesses and we have a ton of funding from launch and other resources. So there's a lot of freedom there to try a lot of different things and learn a lot.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: And in terms of support. We have a lot of the UNC network. I'm in a bunch of programs and I have a few businesses that I'm already working with to try to develop the software as it is.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: And this is an opportunity for us to help our community and move forward and help businesses that have been infected by coven 19 to become better and involved from everything that's happened so far.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: So I've kind of went over the creation of latte. I promise, the value we provide and opportunity we have forward to help our communities.
Tyrell Carter | ANTE Founder & CEO: And I will. Lastly, say that on today is about entrepreneurial excellence and being able to give everyone the opportunity to create a successful business. And here's all my contact information and I will leave my email in the chat. Thank you.
Jeff Terrell: Thanks Tyrell and sorry I mispronounced Dante
Jeff Terrell: Okay, um,
Jeff Terrell: Let's see what's next. Oh, and one of the thing I'll mention is
Jeff Terrell: I said early the earlier that the project spacious not have email addresses on it, it actually does. I realized that those are all included in the applications which are attached to that page so
Jeff Terrell: If you want to get in touch with any of these clients these potential clients and founders, then you can do so through the projects page.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, next vividly or rocky for easy access
Vitaly Radsky: Hey, can you hear me.
Jeff Terrell: Yes, can hear you fine.
Vitaly Radsky: Okay. Are you doing the slides.
Sorry.
Jeff Terrell: No, go for it.
Jeff Terrell: Or I can, if you would like
Vitaly Radsky: Here we go. I got it. Okay. Hi guys, my name is Vitaly and Mia rocky are co founders of a of a startup called easy access and the mission of easy access is to create digital equity tools to help students
Vitaly Radsky: Under presented low income and first generation students access college and careers. So right now, we're working on right now. We're working on two things.
Vitaly Radsky: We go. So the first thing is a college search app for students. So this helps underrepresented students make a balanced college list and kind of apply to the right.
Vitaly Radsky: Affordable schools, colleges to make sure they have a balanced college list. The other part of it, which is what we're going to be working on.
Vitaly Radsky: This fall is a case management system for high school counselors and this helps high school counselors manager.
Vitaly Radsky: Student case loads know who they've met with when they met with them what each student needs and kind of organize their average to their students.
Vitaly Radsky: And together, eventually we want to connect the student app with the counselor portal and together that would help low income in first generation students access college
Vitaly Radsky: A little bit about us. So on the tally I'm a education PhD student in the School of Education here at UNC, I'm a former college advisor. So I've been advising
Vitaly Radsky: High school students about going to college for a bunch of years, my co founder Rocky is an educational designer. So he works a lot of the design stuff. And he's also a former college advisor.
Vitaly Radsky: Together we have over 15 years of experience of college advising
Vitaly Radsky: And we want to make the process of going to college, which is more and more important these days, and just anything to say, having a plan for what to do after high school we want to make that a lot more
Vitaly Radsky: Equitable and successful for students who don't have the same support at home or in their communities.
Vitaly Radsky: So we've we've been working on this for the last, like, two semesters in the in the in the spring we worked with CMS for social good to get started. This summer, we work with Summer of Code and you know both those teams have been great. And we have
Vitaly Radsky: We already have a working prototype. So this is just a screenshot of the design and Adobe. See that Rocky and another summer code intern did. So we have a lot of the stuff designed and we also have a working prototype. And these are some screenshots from it.
Vitaly Radsky: So we have several pages that students can interact with soon profile in case of mentioned page, you know, there's, it's all searchable filter will
Vitaly Radsky: Information that you enter is saved to the app.
Vitaly Radsky: Kind of tracks your students progress towards their, you know, find the college
Vitaly Radsky: And I'm not going to do a demo, but basically counselors are already able to make accounts, they can create multiple cohorts of students, they can upload data and then the data is displayed. It can be filtered and sorted
Vitaly Radsky: That's kind of the functionality that we have right now.
Vitaly Radsky: What we want to do this fall is basically
Vitaly Radsky: Getting ready for commercialization. So we want to, we're going to charge counselors for this, but we want to make it affordable for counselors to use. So, what we want is a payment system.
Vitaly Radsky: permissions for different access so they can invite other counselors or other school personnel. We want to improve the data upload and download process.
Vitaly Radsky: Create a better user experience. And especially, we need to make sure that it's secure data security and in back end, we need to really improve the back end process.
Vitaly Radsky: And then we might if we have time, which I'm not sure we will we have like two kinds of killer features that we're thinking about developing
Vitaly Radsky: One is like a college list page that you know if a counter has 100 students who would and we have an algorithm for how students should apply to college.
Vitaly Radsky: They can kind of make a suggested college list for older students with this feature. Another feature we need is to connect this
Vitaly Radsky: This counter portal with the student app so that when students connect to the counters older information gets pushed their counselors encounters can see like what colleges, they put on their college list.
Vitaly Radsky: Where they want to go to school and other kinds of information that the country might not have
Vitaly Radsky: So that's basically kind of where our planning for the fall is and where we are.
Vitaly Radsky: And that said if you have any questions, feel free to email me or rocky as well. Thank you so much.
Jeff Terrell: All right, thank you Vitaly I keep mispronouncing your name. Sorry about that.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, I'm going to take control back
Jeff Terrell: And yes, next is NYAH
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Can you hear me.
Jeff Terrell: Yes.
Okay.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): I just want to have control.
Like I do
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Okay.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): And Julie will be presenting with me. So thank you for having me today. I'm I have yeah the LM the killings global health Associate Director, and I'm presenting with my colleague
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Julia McMillan the managing director of research, innovation and global solutions and we are pitching our map that impact projects.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Maps tap into our earliest educational experiences, whether we work on jigsaw puzzles as kids or study atlases or find ourselves looking at a map wondering of the places will visit study abroad or work in after the pandemic.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): And that's true at the Healing School of Global Public Health where our faculty, staff, and students working all 100 North Carolina counties and in 62 countries around the world around the world.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): So what is the problem we are asking for your help. And so often we need a mesmerizing customer focus trip for visitors to our website with her maps.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Whether whether their students like you potential research partners or others. We want our work to be approachable exciting and find double and right now they are not
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Those maps, don't look alike or talk to one another, and they're scattered around our website and our work has global impact that, how do we portray that impacts in a more meaningful way when everything is scattered on our web
Naya Villarreal (she/her): So here are a few examples to give you an idea of our maps and the data and stories that they share this is our student global practical map that tells stories from summer.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): One example is to students went to Zambia and worked on a now Bill and Melinda Gates funded project to help with a study where ultrasound devices will be sent to areas with limited resources.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): While requiring minimal operator expertise to us to be used to help be able to tell the ages of babies in the womb.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Another map is where alumni live in work all over the world. One Alum is currently working with a Pan American Health Organization in the Caribbean on their code response.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): And here's another map representing our research and all 100 North Carolina counties one project just just received the Harvey Award at UNC and the project will feature a mobile app that private well owners in North Carolina can use for well water testing.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): And here's another map showing our global research around the world and the 62 countries, one of our faculty members is working with partners in rural South Africa on Cobra to strengthen the pandemic response in various low resource settings and we have other maps as well on our website.
Naya Villarreal (she/her): Truly there.
Julia MacMillan: Yes. Hi, I'm Julie McMillan over at the killing school with Naya we're on the other end of campus from you and would love to have a team, help us. So what's our ask. We need your help with something that is really pretty close to
Julia MacMillan: Powerful, but we need
Your
Julia MacMillan: Technology and and
Julia MacMillan: Own experience with public public health and maps to make it more powerful. We would like a connected tool.
Julia MacMillan: That educates and inspire we'd like nothing better than for people to be looking at the maps and suddenly 20 minutes have gone by and they've learned something about climate change water quality.
Julia MacMillan: coven where we have three people working on a vaccine for example nutrition maternal and child health night has given you several examples.
Julia MacMillan: That the solution needs to be compatible with the schools WordPress website and platform. We don't know that that means it has to be written in WordPress. It just needs to be able to interact with it.
Julia MacMillan: The solution, you can help us with that we're thinking of a dashboard or some integrative tool that allows a user, not to have to care where map is on the site. But to be able to go nimbly from North Carolina to global to alumni.
Julia MacMillan: To students. So we're pretty open minded about that but but it does need to be something that the user finds compelling. What is what is
Julia MacMillan: Why, why do you want to work with us, public health is having its time in the in the
Julia MacMillan: World today, you know, once upon a time people thought it was restaurant inspections, which it is school nurses, which it is.
Julia MacMillan: But it is everywhere. And I know all of you are wearing masks. When you are out and about in the world. You understand social distancing you're washing your hands more
Julia MacMillan: This is a time when we can help people see that public health is not just a scolding kind of thing, but it's powerful tool for living a healthier life we're getting the economy back
Julia MacMillan: Into shape. And so this is a really a time for y'all to work on a project that could make a big difference in the world maps are intriguing, you know,
Julia MacMillan: I think, way, way back to when I was putting together a little map of
Julia MacMillan: The United States and it did actually have 50 states and but it was fun. And so we'd like to have that sense of fun when people are looking at our maps.
Julia MacMillan: In terms of flexibility we nyan are flexible. We would love your creativity to be set loose on this so you could tell us some solutions as the semester goes on, we, we are not fixed in our sense of what's the file project.
Julia MacMillan: This is a team we would work. We are team based y'all are teams.
Julia MacMillan: We will be supportive collaborative, but give you elbow room to
Julia MacMillan: Learn some new things to try maybe the first one doesn't work out, but we're, we're really persuaded that this is a powerful class this computer science class and we would love to work with you.
Julia MacMillan: Finally night is fun. She's and she would y'all would really get a kick out of her knowledge of public health for open mindedness, her, her
Julia MacMillan: Her wish to bring the best out and students and to come up with a solution that our readers and watchers would love
Naya Villarreal (she/her): And as Julie mentioned public health is everywhere in gaining recognition. So, in closing, this is our moment for our fields. So come be a part of our moment by helping us show our impact in a more meaningful way.
Jeff Terrell: All right, thank you. Now yeah and Julie. Alright, we're going to move on to Patrick Vernon and I think wants to just share his screen. So let me give you were actually I think you already have sharing controls.
Patrick Vernon: It says I cannot do it.
Jeff Terrell: I think I might need to stop sharing my maybe, hang on. Let's see here.
Jeff Terrell: I'll make you a co host. I don't do it.
Patrick Vernon: Sometimes there's a button right next to share screen.
Jeff Terrell: Share
Jeff Terrell: Share. There we go. Try that.
Patrick Vernon: Perfect.
Patrick Vernon: You guys see in a website now.
Patrick Vernon: Yes, so I don't know who can answer that other than Jeff. Hi, everybody. I'm Patrick Vernon from
Patrick Vernon: From the business school. I've been teaching venture capital and entrepreneurship for
Patrick Vernon: 15 years. I want to say, and I've been admiring your class from a distance, it's the first time I've come to class to pitch, but I've sent many the team.
Patrick Vernon: Back when I used to teach launching the venture and, I believe, maybe your professor came through that at one point and
Patrick Vernon: From a distance. I've always admired what you guys do. It's not easy connecting dots around the campus and it's so nice that that this class does that
Patrick Vernon: And you get to meet some people from different departments and we get the benefit of your precious technical skills.
Patrick Vernon: Actually, the reason I teach the business goals when I was a student, I did an event I participated as a student in the venture capital investment, competition and it's the only place where students have the money. So it was an amazing learning experience.
Patrick Vernon: Real startups come and pitch to the students first thing in the morning and you go through a process all day as a student you you're pretending you have
Patrick Vernon: 100 million dollars and you're going to pick one of the startups that pitches to you. So it's a bit of a turning of the tables right people hear about this competition and they think it's a
Patrick Vernon: Problem. The students have the ideas, but it's actually students have the money. In this case, not a business plan competition.
Patrick Vernon: And as the slide that Jeff had a minute ago indicated, we're looking for a judging system. So we have these events all over the world. They're coordinated centrally from UNC this
Patrick Vernon: Box, you're looking at here represents. I think it's 20 different events. So the one of them got actually two big ones got canceled last year, or one in Singapore was the first event of the year that got cancelled back in February.
Patrick Vernon: And then we ended up having to cancel our global finalists were the winners from all the other events come usually late March, early April.
Patrick Vernon: Our best guess is that we're going to be going online again this year.
Patrick Vernon: I'm sorry, not again. Last year we didn't go online at all. We had just cancelled things so probably these events will go all
Patrick Vernon: Virtual this year. So that's actually not this project, but that's a little bit of background on where it's coming from.
Patrick Vernon: Each one of these events and I'm clicking through to graduate events. Now, but they're also undergraduate events each event has its own microcosm of participants.
Patrick Vernon: At the top here are the six student teams of five or six students each, and then we'll have a few startups, it'll be pitching to them.
Patrick Vernon: And it doesn't ish judges who will be there to rate the performance of the team, not of the startups.
Patrick Vernon: Then we'll also have some organizers there and back in the good days, good old days, we'd actually send some UNC students to these events.
Patrick Vernon: So our students would travel around the country and around the world to see some of this while all of this is happening.
Patrick Vernon: One of the mechanisms that has to happen is is the judges have to vote on the teams and this project would be a way of helping us automate that.
Patrick Vernon: The good news is we already have a system. So it's, we're not wildly depending on you at the moment.
Patrick Vernon: There's a kind of a clunky background system that I've put together where the judges go to this website and they click on their event say it's New England and they just go to what you, I'm sure, recognized as a Google form right
Patrick Vernon: And behind this Google form. The nice thing about Google Forms is then it can go. It can be shared immediately. So I've got a system in the background. If you go to the data, which is the responses in this Google Sheet will take the raw data votes here.
Patrick Vernon: Will take something that track came to the wrong place. I think that's fine.
Patrick Vernon: And if you look down below at the bottom here, you see a bunch of sheets here. This is the raw data. Actually, this might be the raw data for this one.
Patrick Vernon: Raw data comes in the votes are there and then we go to a formula where we convert those votes into points.
Patrick Vernon: Three points. First place two points per second place, etc. And that gets into a scoreboard that we ultimately I'll show you a more robust looking region here.
Patrick Vernon: This was one with 11 judges each voted. So this is the data that came out of the form and got dumped into a formula and it goes through a process here where we
Patrick Vernon: weed out whether or not there any duplicates, stuff like that. And then we stick it into a results. So this is its own page that is immediately you know it's Google
Patrick Vernon: Sheets. So it publishes immediately and then on our bigger VC. I see website. Let's see if I can find it. We've got can just search for it.
Patrick Vernon: We've got a spot where you can see them all and this helps us in Chapel Hill kind of keep up with what's going on everywhere in the world. So this is, this is our somewhat crude
Patrick Vernon: Solution. So we're coming to you and hopes that you can help us find a new solution that will allow the judges from each a few of the
Patrick Vernon: functionalities that we need is different events will have different team names. So we go back to like the form, you know, we would need to be able to input who the teams are there a couple different things we're looking for their
Patrick Vernon: That's kind of the main thing, different, different judge names so that they can enter their own name. It could be some back end functionality that we could
Patrick Vernon: Think about together. There are other things we're doing on the website. So I would encourage the team and happy to work with you on looking at, you know, we have the teams, all those different teams have to register for example, we
Patrick Vernon: Currently do that to a gravity forum through WordPress website, any of that is kind of open to
Patrick Vernon: Ideas about how that might be more elegantly done then in this case for the judging. As an example, it's not so elegant, that's all these Google Sheets, but it kind of it works and it gets out there quickly. And that's one of the main things
Patrick Vernon: So I think that's kind of it in a nutshell. I'm happy to take any questions or you can email me, they
Patrick Vernon: probably easiest way to email me as PV Patrick Vernon PV at UNC edu or bcc@unc.edu both of those work.
Jeff Terrell: Thanks, Patrick and nice email address. Yeah.
Jeff Terrell: All right, let me get back to
Patrick Vernon: Have to stop the share sorry there.
We go.
Jeff Terrell: Back to sharing my screen.
Jeff Terrell: Okay, finally, for our last two pitches. We've got a combined double page here from Crystal ball Palmer, and Karen milberger
Jeff Terrell: Which I should have. Let's see. I need to switch to a different view.
Jeff Terrell: Screen to the wrong screen which is there we go okay crystal ball and or Karen, should I give one of you control.
cmpalmer: Karen, please.
Okay.
cmpalmer: But I hi I'll, I'll go ahead and quickly introduce myself first I'm I'm technically on paternity leave. So you may hear a baby in the background.
cmpalmer: Which is why Karen is taking the lead here, but I'm pretty stoked at Palmer.
cmpalmer: I am one of two staff people Karen being the other in charge of IBO
cmpalmer: And I've, I've been around at IBO for longer, in part because once upon a time, I was a student at UNC Chapel Hill, I went away for a bit and then came back.
cmpalmer: And I've also been in your shoes students who are
cmpalmer: taking this course.
cmpalmer: So, so this is kind of interesting for me personally, but with that I please, will I hand off to Karen and let her introduce herself and and the projects.
cmpalmer: Thank you.
Karen Milberger: And Jeff, I see that the way the slides played it automatically played it and start at the beginning and allow one page to go through at a time.
Karen Milberger: Okay, thank you. So I'm going to
Click one time and see
Karen Milberger: Okay, the arrow keys aren't working for me.
Karen Milberger: I may just have to let you know when I need to go to the next page.
Karen Milberger: So I have. I'm the most recent staff member on IBO I've been here for a little more than a year now.
Karen Milberger: I believe is to me a very interesting project. It's something that I knew about and use the long before I came here.
Karen Milberger: It is a collection of collections. There are a number of different ways of describing it. It is a library of freely available public information on many different topics.
Karen Milberger: If any of you have not seen the website before the URL is up there. It's ibo.org
Karen Milberger: And
Karen Milberger: It's includes some kind of specialized collections and also some
Karen Milberger: More general collections on a lot of different topics and can we go the next slide please.
Karen Milberger: So some of the particular content that we find on IBO
Karen Milberger: Is there are, there's a large collection of many different Linux distributions that are either hosted or marriage here and
Karen Milberger: Especially if you're looking for some of the more obscure ones. It's a place that you may find them.
Karen Milberger: There's also Project Gutenberg, which is
Karen Milberger: A library of eBooks, which I again before kind of long before I came here I was already downloading and reading these they're available in different formats.
Karen Milberger: Either for E readers or HTML.
Karen Milberger: As a web page.
Karen Milberger: So that is kind of a fairly big interesting project by itself.
Karen Milberger: And there are also collections or sites in a variety of different categories on the right of the slide I listed some if you are interested in some topic, you can have a look at that.
Karen Milberger: And and now we're coming to within all this wide variety of different types of content that is available. One of the other things we have is that I believe
Karen Milberger: Provides a streaming service for some, not for profit radio stations and that's the area in which the particular projects that we're going to be looking at are going to be in. Next slide please.
Karen Milberger: So add, I believe.
Karen Milberger: It's has a kind of an interesting team. So right now we just have
Karen Milberger: The two of us are the two staff and we have and every semester we have a number of student assistance as well. And we're also very lucky to have some great volunteers to do a lot of important work for us.
Karen Milberger: So it's a very diverse team including people with a lot of experience and a lot of history to
Karen Milberger: Students who are just interested to learn something new and
Karen Milberger: Some of the things that we have going on. So it's in terms of the work. There are a lot of different things that we're working on at any given time. And part of what we have to do is
Karen Milberger: Keep all these different pieces little systems working which use a wide variety of different technologies and different systems. So there are a lot of kind of different moving pieces.
Karen Milberger: That all have to work together. And while we're in the process of trying to update the system improve the system add new features to for users. So for different levels of users as well, like, including the public and and including the content providers.
Karen Milberger: While we're doing this, we have to keep everything working
Karen Milberger: So,
Karen Milberger: That there's kind of like the general environment in which these projects will occur. And one thing that I personally have very much appreciated.
Karen Milberger: In working on the project is that everyone that I've worked with has always been very motivated and interested
Karen Milberger: So people have a usually a good background and understanding. Like they understand the issues and that there are security requirements and things like that.
Karen Milberger: And at the same time are flexible open to input looking for new and better ways to do things and I think all of us, including the students and staff and everyone, we're always kind of in a situation of learning new things and finding better ways to do things.
Karen Milberger: Next slide please.
Karen Milberger: So these two particular projects that we have are related to features for improving
Karen Milberger: Some of the processes related to managing the streaming for the radio stations.
Karen Milberger: The one aspect has to do with a reporting service.
Karen Milberger: And the other has to do with a billing service. So we're going to look at each one of these projects and separately. Next slide please.
Karen Milberger: So the first of these two projects.
Karen Milberger: Has to do with reporting for radio stations. So the way this works is that
Karen Milberger: The streaming process.
Karen Milberger: Records various logs related to how that station has been used over a month and every month, the radio station managers need to obtain reports for their own management purposes of how what what has been going on with their particular station.
Karen Milberger: And at the moment we are having to so the actual creation of these reports. There are already scripts to do this, but the current process is that
Karen Milberger: An IBO administrator has to go and run the scripts manually.
Karen Milberger: That's not an ideal process and we really need to have something better, and have this automated. So, there actually was already
Karen Milberger: Part of the process of working on automating. This has already started. And there was actually at one time a working app, which was developed by students
Karen Milberger: That
Karen Milberger: Within a web app.
Karen Milberger: There was a self service feature where the radio station manager could log in and go and select saying that they need to get a report generated for their station.
Karen Milberger: So right now this app is not working. Due to Google API changes and also PHP changes in as the PHP versions of updated.
Karen Milberger: So what this project would involve primarily would be, first of all, updating the app so that it works with these new changes and then also adding some additional enhancements to the functionality. Next slide please.
Karen Milberger: The users for this particular app. There will be two categories of users. So one would be I biblical administrators and
Karen Milberger: The features that they would be able to do would be things like adding or removing users or so say if the manager for particular radio station changes, they'd be able to update to that is
Karen Milberger: And possibly if I believe. Oh, word to host a new station heading a whole new station or something like that so that it's somewhat flexible in terms of what exactly will need to be done.
Karen Milberger: So it's like some of these features within the project. You could either get to or not get to and if you didn't complete a certain feature possibly somebody else may work on the app later on and and continued development of it.
Karen Milberger: And right now, sort of our first user that we're really focusing on is the radio station manager themself so that they can generate a report for their station on demand and possibly also set up.
Karen Milberger: generating these reports at regular intervals. So they may log in and select a particular option saying
Karen Milberger: Every month, create a report and send it to me.
Karen Milberger: So one general consideration about
Karen Milberger: These projects, both of them is that for us, it's a fairly important consideration that whatever. However, the apps are developed which there can be some flexibility in the details of how that's done.
Karen Milberger: It does need to be done in a way that's going to be maintainable and that somebody else will be able to take over developing that app later on after you leave. So it's both.
Karen Milberger: Like a requirement like something you need to pay attention to. But at the same time, it also sort of puts less pressure on you because it's like if you only do certain features of everything we're envisioning
Karen Milberger: That's fine, because then somebody else can continue the development later on.
cmpalmer: If I could just chime in right quick to add one thing about these reports before you think it's too easy. These, these reports are for compliance purposes for sound exchange. So this is IP rights.
cmpalmer: And if there are there are some pretty severe consequences and fines for radio stations that don't meet their reporting requirements. So, this is this is high stakes for the radio station managers. So I just wanted to add that to chime in. Sorry to interrupt.
Karen Milberger: Please guess that that's a very important consideration. So thank you for reminding me about that.
Jeff Terrell: And if I can jump in as well. We're actually over time a little bit class was supposed to end about three minutes ago, and I have a meeting in a minute or so. So, I hate to do this, but can we rush you through the rest of your slides quickly.
Karen Milberger: I'm great. I can do the second one in like one minute, maybe
Karen Milberger: Okay, so the second app. It's a similar type of considerations in terms of it's also a web app. And this one is focused on billing for the radio stations billing for a particular station is based on the bandwidth that they use.
Karen Milberger: And right now, it is done by a manual process and it needs to be automated. That's the main idea. I'm. Next slide please.
Karen Milberger: And there are three different categories of users. And so, this involves
Karen Milberger: Different functions for each user and making sure that
Karen Milberger: Somebody can access what they're authorized to access and the same considerations about being extendable by someone else after you leave.
Karen Milberger: The final slide just has some additional information and links on some of the technologies, you may be using or exposed to.
Jeff Terrell: And thank you very much.
Jeff Terrell: Great, thank you as well. And I guess that's all of our slides. So thanks to our clients who presented and
Jeff Terrell: Students will be back for round two on Monday. See y'all later.
