Wave in a box

Par Jerome le vendredi 3 septembre 2010, 10:29 - Informatique

Wave open source next steps: "Wave in a Box"

As announced here, the project will contain : 

  • an application bundle including a server and web client supporting real-time collaboration using the same structured conversations as the Google Wave system
  • a fast and fully-featured wave panel in the web client with complete support for threaded conversations
  • a persistent wave store and search implementation for the server (building on contributed patches to implement a MongoDB store)
  • refinements to the client-server protocols
  • gadget, robot and data API support
  • support for importing wave data from wave.google.com
  • the ability to federate across other Wave in a Box instances, with some additional configuration
This is fantastic. This means possible company-wide + company-only Wave servers.
Very good ! A nice start for a friday today !

Most of the world will not care but "robot support" means that the time I spent on the WadRobotFramework will not be have been wasted.

Goodbye to Wave

Par Jerome le lundi 9 août 2010, 22:06 - Informatique

As you may know, Google Wave will be stopped by the end of the year.
For sure, that's a bad surprise.
RIP Google Wave  20 May - 4 August 2010

For me, it means that the WRF ends too. Actually, it ends now.
Sure, there's plenty of time between now and december but I have already spent a lot of time on WRF.

The generator may find a second life, who knows ... it's only the templates that must be changed.

However, WRF was a very good experience for many things.
First is my collaboration with Romin  (@iRomin), who has become a friend. Mon ami, our daily (live) exchanges through Wave were lots of fun and knowledge sharing.

I gained pride as WRF was for a long moment (during the V1 days) the subject of three (from eleven) articles listed on the dedicated page on google's site.

Not bad for a project done little by little on my sleeping time (meaning I was often half asleep while coding)

Thanks to @fbaligand, I had the occasion to speak of WRF during the "JumpCamp 4 IT" event in Paris. My first public speaking since ... long ago.
I proposed to present WRF and a usage of it at the Devoxx 2010 conference. Well, no answer yet but I think I know it.
I really wanted a MAJOR speaking experience to push my limit. Too bad. Have to create something else.

During Google I/O, I have met people who followed me on twitter and knew my project, have met googlers IRL, spoke of WRF to some of them.
I even chatted with Vic G (fantastic speaker) !
 
Incredible San Francisco where three French guys named Jérôme can stand in the same square-meter (have a look at SnapABug.com). That never happened to me in France as Jérôme is a quite rare first name.

About Googlers, Wave's DevRel @pamelafox is a fantastic I.T woman. Talented, funny, clear minded and such a good speaker.

I am certainly forgetting other + points about the WRF episode.

Overall, the Wave experience was very good for me that's why I am so bitter that it's over.
So, goodbye Google Wave, rest in pieces, we'll meet again.

First ADvertisement for the WadRobotFramework

Par Jerome le mercredi 30 juin 2010, 22:13 - Informatique

I have recently know about the site http://www.xtranormal.com that allows to create movies via a website.
You certainly have too, due to the buzz with the 4G/Evo video. 

So, as I saw robots being available as actors, a bell ringed and I did a short movie about my WadRobotFramework
I managed to have it published for free after the deception of the will-have-to-pay feeling (must be by changing of actors and background).
I've also put it on youtube. 
In less than a minute, it will not teach new stuff if you are already experienced with the WRF but I hope you will find it funny.


So, if I remember a conversation I had with @didiergirard (who coined the Geek 2.0 term), I think that 'creating an ad' is one more line to add to the todo-list of actions that should go along an opensource project :
  • create a dedicated twitter account
  • create a dedicated website
  • speak of it
  • (and more)
Have fun with the video !
On YouTube  or on xtranormal.com


I'll definetely have a go with the desktop software of xtranormal

A wave for the WadRobotFramework

Par Jerome le jeudi 15 avril 2010, 20:47 - Informatique

Hello,

There is now a wave about the wave robot framework ! But, as scripts do not work in this blog, got to Wave and search for WadRobotFramework



The page at http://thecodersbreakfast.net/index.php?post/2010/04/15/Google-Wave-Embedded-:-Mise-%C3%A0-jour will show you how to embed a wavelet on your website.

A cool logo ...

Par Jerome le lundi 15 février 2010, 23:11 - Informatique

Hi,

I know I am a right-handed guy with two left hands, I cannot draw. That's a fact.
Too bad, I have other talents or so I think.

I need a logo for my framework.
The name is "WadRobotFramework".

Here are a few constraints : (may evolve of course)

  • no aggressivity
  • no skynet/terminator stuff
  • metal
  • pop shiny colors too
  • robot comes out of a box (?an eclipse logo on it ?)
  • a taste of 50's sci-fi would be nice
  • MGM-like, a roaring robot :)



I forgot. I have a budget for this although free cooperation to the project would be credited.
My budget is small but fair. I can pay with a French check or through PayPal.

Send me your estimation and sketch.


Cheers,

Jérôme

WadRobotFramework, les slides en français

Par Jerome le dimanche 24 janvier 2010, 00:20 - Informatique

J'ai publié les slides de ma présentation sur mon WadRobotFramework sur SlideShare.net

 Quelques anecdotes sur cette présentation :
  • La sortie vidéo de mon portable n'a pas fonctionné
  • Le portable prêté est tombé en panne de batterie
  • J'ai utilisé une version non corrigée de mon framework




Mais je m'en suis bien sorti quand même, j'ai rencontré des gens passionnants et même une célébrité (@didiergirard), revu ce taquin de @fbaligand. Il a raison sur le fait que c'est la troisième présentation sur Atmosphere que je rate.
Faudra m'en faire une pour moi tout seul, Fabien.

Voici les slides

WRF - WadRobotFramework v1.1 is released

Par Jerome le lundi 4 janvier 2010, 00:00 - Informatique

WRF Version 1.1 is released.

It features the robot generator. See wiki for instructions.

A near complete robot can now be generated in a few seconds, reducing even more its TTC (time to cloud).

Logic implementation has still to be done by the user. Sorry about that.

Tweak TWO (or even one) .properties file, run a target and voila !


How ??
First, build.properties (once for a workstation)
then, generator/generator.properties (once for each robot)
and
launch one of the following Ant targets (in build.xml)

# generate_SimpleAppenderRobot
# generate_SimpleModifierRobot
# generate_AdvancedRobot


According to the type of robot you want (see wiki).
On-screen instructions will tell you which files to modify (for the logic part).
The project's wiki proposes instructions for both generating and using the generated robot.

Enjoy and give feedback. Thanks.

A framework for creating wave robots - What for ??

Par Jerome le mercredi 2 décembre 2009, 21:33 - Informatique

As you may know, I have committed a few source files I dare call a framework.
That's because I did not dare call it a Foundation.

This framework is available at this address http://code.google.com/p/wadrobotframework

Ok, great the description in the wiki underlines how quick it is to write a robot with it.
And it's true !

So what can it be used for ?


PUBLIC USAGES

Not much ideas to share at the moment.


PRIVATE USAGES

By rolling your own robots, you'll be able to make do what you want.
Delegation is the keyword.

Private waves and own robots ...
It makes it possible to ... sort of ... give orders in synch with your desires.

  • Add a URL to your wave, and it is saved online. Useful with some user interface for search/filtering your bookmarks.
  • Add a URL to your wave, and it make it a PDF, make the PDF go to your own CMS (like Alfresco).
  • make something triggered.



Note that there is requests for bots at this adress

Google Wave, how many different robot types

Par Jerome le mercredi 18 novembre 2009, 20:35 - Informatique

Being a java guy for quite some time, I got interested in Google App Engine (later GAE) as soon as it supported Java.

I can be used to host web application as you know and, more recently, Google Wave (later GW) robots.

For instance, GW robots can only be hosted on GAE for the moment.

I wrote a robot, following the tutorial and found it very brain-teasing. You know, robots, A.I., .... stuff you have read/seen times and times. It is now put at hand's reach (well sort of) and it's no use knowing the Lisp language to write one.

My robot is rather simple, it's only action is to react to the content of a blip (roughly the same as a post), find the longest word (that is more than 5 characters) and display in another blip all the contrepeteries (French for spoonerisms) known to it (500 entries to choose from), containing the selected word.

Browsing some waves, I recognized different groups of GW robots :
  • those that modify a blip  (add a map, replace :) with a picture of a smiley, ...)
  • those that react to a blip (like mine)
  • presumably, those that work in stealth mode, doing whatever they can like logging blips, participants, ...
  • those that react to commands, like Today Special Robot 
That last group is the one I find the most intelectually teasing.
Of course this is vast, but there is space for something I can do.

Stay tuned for more ...
Jérôme
