I have been struggling with the software to create a poster, so here is an early draft:

Planning updated a bit for 2 reasons:

- A lot more work than planned to get the calendar integration working. Apparently there is no general way to do this on Android version before 4.0.
- Hopefully by then I can integrate the schedule and use real data of test persons.

Second thesis presentation

apparently never uploaded my second thesis presentation, so here it is! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HZmun0-_HpaStGd8jFE7kChR7X4SEJLl8FXo0XRiayE/edit

I know that this looks optimistic, but I rather aim for the June deadline and miss it only to be well on the way for the August deadline, than aim for the August deadline and miss that one.

Implementation

While working on the first phase of my implementation (the UI part), I came up with a list of integration ideas:

- Save contacts to phone
- Add class / office locations to favorites
- Mail integration
- Add event to calendar
- Add whole schedule to calendar
- Add announcement as task
- Add exam to calendar
- Notifications for events / schedule
- Share! (events you are attending, new announcements, ...)

Then I also have to think how I would like to implement these options:

- Campus map: Google maps? openstreetmap? How to link to class locations?
In building navigation?
- Discussion boards (or some other form of communication between students and staff)

All of will be part of the second phase of my implementation. So expect to see solutions in the next few weeks :)
