Hey dudes..

Someone had to break the silence...

So besides Bobert, Eman and Cheng, I have not seen you dudes in forever. What's everyone up to? I've been working in finance and staying out of prison, enjoying the city life, and overall having a great time.

Who plans on taking a vacation to a tropical place in late October? I'm planning a 9 day vacay to (mostly likely) Brazil. Anyone interested? C'mon Benjy....

08sys wins Google Android Developer Challenge ... again!

Hey again guys,

We're so excited to be back here posting again. Looks like the time spent coding this summer was well worth it! Although it was a bit of a roller-coaster ride, we finally submitted our final submission to the Google Android Developer Challenge (ADC) about a month ago. The results have just been released, and Ecorio (formerly Eco2go) has placed in the Top 10 out of the Top 50 in the Google ADC! (http://code.google.com/android/adc_gallery/index.html)

We are incredibly excited about the opportunities to come in the next few months, and really look forward to seeing our work installed on Android phones in time for the holiday season.

Thanks to all of you who have sent your congrats, and to those of you who tested (or offered to, but ran out of time) - Fahd, Shruthi, Cheng, Kristen, Karen, Yoyo... forgive me if I've missed anyone!

Stay tuned to our website ecorio.org for new updates!

08sys wins Google Android Developer Challenge

Hey Everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying your vacation. :-)

I justed wanted to let you all know that three of your classmates have made it to the Final 50 of the Google Android Developer Competition (ADC)! We were selected out of 1700+ competitors from around the world and are very excited about our prospects for future app development. In the next few days, we're going to update our website at http://eco2go.org a bit to tell you all what our app is about.

Just wanted to thank you all for your feedback and support. The learning opportunities that Systems Design, and you have provided to us over the past years has been invaluable. Wish us best of luck for the next round!

See you at Convocation! :-D

Mel, Graeme and Phil's summer travel blog

Hey everyone,

As some of you know already, Graeme, Phil and I will be doing some extensive traveling this summer. I have been putting together a blog that we will be using this summer... It's under construction at the moment, but feel free to have a look. It'll document our travels and our stories for the summer, so have a look and enjoy!

Design projects

Just as a quick survey, how far is everyone in their design projects? Like timeline wise, how much work do you think is left before your particular project is ready for demo day? Post in the replies.

For those not in our class, Systems Design students spend their entire fourth year in school developing innovative projects that range from process improvements to software platforms that demonstrate stuff they've learned in class and on coop. You can read more about them here:

What to do, What to do.....

First off:
Kudos to Andrew for getting this going - if there's a class that could keep 90 people in touch, it's definitely 08SYS.

Where am I headed - likely Mechanical Building Design around the Golden Horseshoe region with affiliates around the world. Entertainment complexes, stadiums, arenas, rec. centres. It's my hand in the Entertainment industry. It's not quite behind a video camera as I had imagined it back in Grade 11, but after 5 years of Systems, I can't see myself doing some nerdy engineering work.

Oh, Life...
How important it is to keep in touch while our paths diverge - just think of the memories we'll be able to joke about during reunions.
Speaking of memory preservation, how appropriate that I'm currently working on the Yearbook and on the Class Video.

It's going to be amazing. We have shared so many awesome memories together. Too many to fit in 14 pages of yearbook nor 20 mins of video!
