Meeting Minutes
• File Conduit prototype
  • Went over ideas for monitoring copying/moving
    • There doesn't seem to be a great solution
    • MD5 hashes may be a decent solution given the information available to us
    • Realtime MD5 hashes of all tagged files isn't realistic because we would have to run it every time a file is changed
• Time logged
  • Corey and David are short on time
  • Andy and Jon had unplanned tasks to do so they are not (SRS, PT tool)
  • Design reviews didn't get done because the development of prototypes has affected the design
  • We cancelled two meetings because they were unnecessary (which is fine)
• Overall status of project
  • We are in very good position with the command line tool to move ahead
  • The frontend will be more difficult
• Demo'd the command line to GUI integration prototype (directly captures output stream of command line tool)
• Security of the command line
  • Consider the constraints of Windows, PHP, and SQLite
  • The project is somewhat parasitic on the operating system since it watches file operations
  • Security is a constraint that we need to look at
• Patents may be a concern
• The Presentation
  • Pretty solid agreement between the faculty that reviewed us
  • Average for the team was about 6/10's of a deviation above the average
  • Three - strong presentation, One - average
  • Presentation grade is between 91-95
  • Individual comments
    • Too much text on the slides
    • Not enough eye contact
    • Good overview
    • Wondering why it is only for a single user (as in justification)
    • Liked the pros/cons of the database backend discussion
    • Our presentation was one of the top two or three presentations
  • We should work on better engaging our audience, take the faculty that do better jobs of this as an example
