Dr. Franklin is an Associate Professor at Kennesaw State University in Marietta, GA. He works in the College of Computing and Software Engineering in the Department of Software Engineering and Game Development. His research areas include artificial intelligence, robotics, serious games and simulations, high-performance computing, and multi-agent systems.
Dr. Franklin is a native Atlantan who now lives in Holly Springs with his lovely wife Christee and their 5 beautiful, incredible, energetic, and slightly loud children. They love to make (robots, electronics, cardboard creations, etc.), watch movies (yes, they have seen the latest movie, they were most likely among the first to see it...), and play analog games (board games, card games, etc.).
Part 1 Observations / Questions 1. How do people interact? They chat in streams, but the communication is asynchronous. What is the pattern of communication? It comes in waves and stages and requires users to track multiple conversations and threads Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning? all of the commands and hashtags, like /join or #info What advantages might IRC have over other real-time communication methods (like Google Chat or Facebook Messenger?) Are there potential disadvantages? Low bandwidth needs, easily logged, multiple concurrent conversations / threads Can you make any other observations? It is old-school, but still around for a reason - simple, easy, and persistent. Bonus question: Why didn't Heidi and Darci's actions get picked up by the meetbot? They are tagged out
Section B Part 1: 2a. There are 20,448 repositories for education. 2b. Graph insights about Commits show the week's commits graphically as well as a bar chart of commits over a much larger window. 3a. 396 repositories for humanitarian. 3b. Last updated Nov. 29, 2017 4. There are 229 repositories for disaster management
Part 2: 2a.Approx. 2260 (226 pages) pages for education 2b. It looks like it is all located on github 2c.There are four similar prohects 2d. Licensing, vulnerabilities, and statistics about the content 3a. about 30 for humanitarian and about 30 for disaster management 3b. Many projects have no available activity information because there are conflicts or problems with the codebase. Some are inactive or less active because the code is not being currently developed. 4. Organizations show the various organizations that contribute to the code base of projects on the site and statistics about them and their contributions. 5. The last commit for OpenMRS was about 3 months ago. 6a. The last commit for OpenMRS on github was about 8 hours ago. 6b. The information is only as valid as the last time it was checked, and OpenMRS was checked 3 months ago, so that is the last update it saw. However, github is using real-time or up to date information, so it is more accurate. 7. The benefits would be having a different organizational structure that may benefit some organizations, but the drawbacks include not having the latest information or commits. It is imperative that you are findable no matter which service you use, and that you keep that information as up to date as possible on the site.
