Exhibition - Who's Interested

Posted by taubz [send private reply] at March 04, 2003, 09:44:23 PM

If you think you'd be interested in submitting something to the TPU Exhibition, please reply with no more information than "I'm interested." (I will delete off topic replies so this stays concise.)

This will be an exhibition of the creativity of TPU members. Anything original and related to programming qualifies -- from ideas to source code to a finished product.

The purpose of this thread is to see how many people would be interested. If enough people reply, we'll do it.

UPDATE: You must be in the "teen" category to submit something. No oldtimers.

Indeed 10 is enough to start, but can we get 15?

Posted by gian [send private reply] at March 09, 2003, 09:30:05 PM

I thought we had agreed that we would do some form of membership drive *before* the exhibition.

Posted by pramod [send private reply] at March 09, 2003, 10:06:32 PM

Me too, But I can't seem to complete anything? Will a lot of half finished programs work?

Posted by taubz [send private reply] at March 10, 2003, 01:07:30 AM

Let's get a small exhibition done so people we try to attract to TPU see that this is a serious bunch.

Posted by regretfuldaydreamer [send private reply] at March 10, 2003, 02:08:09 PM

1) I thought we would have quaterly or biannual exhibitions. Not just a one off thing. Which is why I suggest we start one from say a week today.
2)I retract my "I'm Interrested" statement. I intend to start working on a big project that will take me much more than a quater to complete, and that I won't want to publically show until its complete.

Um, yeah...I'm willing to participate...but, yeah, I need time to prepare/finnish my AI Bot project.
[haha, why do all races end in Finnland?! b/c it's the Finnish line!!]

Posted by regretfuldaydreamer [send private reply] at March 10, 2003, 03:43:01 PM

Submit your AI bot project. (I will submit mine to a future exhibition, once its finished). I am just withdrawing from this exhibition.

Posted by Neumann [send private reply] at March 10, 2003, 07:15:51 PM

C_Rdd: taubz said submitting "something". It shouldn't matter if it's complete or not. It only matter if it's worthy of exposing.

Posted by regretfuldaydreamer [send private reply] at March 11, 2003, 10:49:52 AM

1) It probably won't be worth exposing in time for this exhibition.
2) It's for a competition that states that you must not have displayed it elsewhere before hand.

Posted by ItinitI [send private reply] at March 11, 2003, 11:55:07 AM

oh..okee...that's a good enough reason. (^_^)

Posted by Neumann [send private reply] at March 11, 2003, 02:15:57 PM

yes indeed...

Posted by unknown_lamer [send private reply] at March 11, 2003, 02:53:15 PM

Does it matter if the project is entirely yours or not? I maintain a 7800 line IRC bot and have made large changes but I didn't write it originally (everyone loves the GPL, where one can take over a project for the original author).

I also have guile-web, which is nearing a usable release (still sloooowwwww...but would be sped up if Guile had a compiler and it expanded macros at compile time).

I think that if you can explain how a project works to interested people, then it could still be a great thing to do, as long as you don't try to claim all credit for yourself.

In fact, it may show your resourcefulness if you can say "look how I built on that great man's work". He made something fantastic and I feel I have made a small contribution to his work. Isn't that what science is about (unless, of course, you are Einstein).

"Isn't that what science is about (unless, of course, you are Einstein). "

___

Science is about advancing the world. Helping mankind with mathematics and formulas.

Science is about finding how and why things work a way they do. Or finding out things that people may or may not want to know like, how Earth is being heavily polluted and dangerous sun rays are getting through the Ozone.

That, is Science.

Anything may be submitted to the exhibtion provided one doesn't violate scientific integrity. (No lying, plagiarism, etc.) So, you can submit someone else's work provided you give all the credit to that person. The obvious catch is that not everything is necessarily accepted.
