Project Complete

We have finally finished our project.

The three of us, namely Andrew, Shawn and myself met with Daniel in his office.

Gene was supposed to be there, but for some reason wasn't, which was unfortunate - as her being our assessor, I believed it was imperative for her to attend our final presentation to the school. Although Daniel has since explained that it isn't necessary for her to be present, and we should worry for our marks.

Everything went as planned, and the demo went quite well.

We spoke for several minutes with regards to the features we managed to finish off, and the possible benefits of our project.

Then Daniel asked regarding the missing features, such as multi-db support that he suggested several weeks prior.

Daniel also mentioned the notion of commercialisation of iTrac. I mentioned that if something was to develop in the future, that I would want the universities written statement of affirmation with the head of school or someone worthwhile signing a letter of exemption of Intellectual Property of the project, given it was one proposed by us and designed and managed by us. Although Daniel said this isn't necessary, as the school "doesn't care" and we will only set out on a bureaucratic battle which will last for 2 years before anything is signed. He said to just take our idea and do what we may with it, and not to worry about the university.

Am quite pleased that it is now all over, and I can now sleep without thinking of GPS units.

  • Yep, we did a nice little demo on the project. As for the Uni and commercialisation, it was good to hear that the proposal that I came up with will be left to us, without any claim by the Uni Of Wollongong. Was good that Willy was there for that discussion.
