Demo sign up sheet

[William Cowan]

Hi,

Here's another attempt to post. I don't know what's wrong with the cs news
server.

The final demo sign-up sheet is at

http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/CS488/Signup/13-S/index.html

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

You will notice that the demos are ten minutes long. I would like
them to be longer, but that's the longest we can do consistent with
seeing the whole class in one day.

You need to organize your demo to make certain that you show us all
the things you want to show within ten minutes.

* Try out in advance the things you are planning to show, and
make certain that they work in the lab environment. You will
be assessed a large number of marks for having a demo that only
runs on your lap-top.

* Be ready to show your demo at the beginning of your demo slot.
During demos we allow in the room only two students: one
demoing and the next one setting up.

At present we do not have a complete set of final project proposals.
We need your project proposal for marking your demo. Enough said?

If you haven't given us your final proposal because it isn't final,
please consult with me or a TA to get it final.

Your documentation is due at my office at 23.59, 30 July, 2013. If
I'm not there please slide it under my door.

Hey Bill,

The permission for the sign-up page is not public. (I get 403 error).

Hi Greg,

You are not the only person who is having trouble signing up.

But I notice that some students are signing up successfully. I tried
going to the web page anonymously and signing up using your student
number and name -- only students on the class list are allowed to
sign up -- and it seemed to work fine. The permisions on the web
page are the same as they have been other terms.

One possibility. Are you trying to sign up from a UW account? I was
when I used your information successfully. If you weren't please
try from your student account to see if that might be the problem.

Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

It's not a matter of not being able to sign up. I can't even open the sign up page. When I click on the link, it gives me a 403 error right away.

By "try from your student account", do you mean try from one of the student machines on the campus for example? I have not tried that yet. Only from my own machine.

Yes. You cannot sign up remotely. I signed up while logged into a machine in the lab.
