Blog from December, 2009

Work Completed

  • Finished writing for Thrust 4 of the Hurricane ERC.
  • Worked on Export capability for the Data Catalog. I started setting up the framework, including extension points and API to support this operation. Work still remains to be done.

Work Planned

  • Work on writing for Thrust 4 of the Hurricane ERC, Jong and I were put in charge of writing the first draft for this section. It is due on December 18th.
  • Work on adding export capability to the Data Catalog. Determine required extension points and other API pieces to allow export types to be declared for data catalog models.

This week went as planned. I will be taking 3 personal days in the coming week (December 21, 22, 23) unless something comes up that requires my input (e.g. the ERC writing).

Work Completed

  • Worked on final statement of work for Market Maker project which was submitted on December 7.
  • Had a meeting with Jong on Google Chat to discuss how to proceed with the Hurricane ERC proposal. I also started drafting some text for that proposal.
  • Finished initial work on saving shapefile styles to the Data Catalog and restored them when visualizing the shapefile. I had to make some minor modifications to the DataCatalog API, which I cleared with Shawn.

Work Planned

  • Assist Jong in putting final Statement of Work together for Market Maker project.
  • Assist Jong in writing the Hurricane ERC proposal. We are to write the first draft of Thrust 4.
  • Work on Data Catalog to save visualization parameters (e.g. saving styles for shapefiles) and restoring them when visualizing.
  • Work on ideas for possible CDI proposal.

This week went as planned. We successfully obtained the Market Maker project, which will begin January 3, 2010. The KISTI budget includes the money requested for our planned project so we just need to finalize that SOW and we should also have that project. This week I will continue to assist Jong in writing the Hurricane ERC proposal and work on adding more of the functionality that MAEviz requires from the DataCatalog. I took half a personal day on Thursday.

Work Completed

  • Worked on MarketMaker Statement of Work, we are nearly finished and ready to submit this.
  • Worked briefly on applying styles to shapefiles and saving the state with the data catalog, the majority of my focus was on the SOW.

Work Planned

  • Finish Market Maker Statement of Work and submit to MarketMaker team
  • Start working on Hurricane ERC Full Proposal (Jong and I are responsible for the first draft of Thrust 3)
  • Finish KISTI SOW (we determined that this can wait until after December 9th when the budget for KISTI is determined so the MarketMaker SOW was deemed the higher priority)
  • Start working on possible CDI proposal
  • Work on applying styles to shapefiles and saving the state with the data catalog

This week went almost as planned. We hoped to finish the MarketMaker SOW by Friday, but there were some minor changes suggested by Randy Butler that will result in this being finished on Monday, December 7.
