On April 25th, Kitwareans attended the 3rd annual Open Source Festival at the State University of New York at Albany where they participated in giving talks, networked with the campus community, and promoted open-source as the future of research and ... [More] development. Dr. Luis Ibáñez of Kitware has been working closely with organizers Catherine Dumas and Dima Kassab throughout the semester to bring more of an open-source focus to their development and databases classes at SUNY Albany. Through this collaboration, students were exposed to a wide range of open-source software tools, and their uses in the real-world – such as the practical use of EWD. Dr. Ibáñez was one of three presenters from Kitware at the festival, along with Bill Hoffman and Dr. Wesley Turner. They presented Rapsberry Pi – Happiness in a Hackspsace Teaching Databases and Web Development with Open Source Tools Teaching Brain Anatomy with Open Source The M Revolution:  Stuff that Matters Open Science and Reproducible Research  Together the team joined members of state government, Linux defenders, and other industry professionals for the panel Connecting Academic with Industry: With Open Source Practices. Throughout the day Katie Osterdahl and I maintained the Kitware table at the event so that event goers could learn more about our presenters, the company, jobs openings, and more. Katie Cronen, Kitware’s HR Generalist, was also present for mock interviews and discussing open internships. There was considerable interest from the SUNY community, and at the end of the day the team had distributed all of the marketing materials, newsletters, t-shirts, and bendee stress relievers they’d arrived with. The festival was not only for UAlbany students and faculty, but also for the larger Capital District open-source community. Networking sessions were held between talks, and it was great to meet people from the Open Source Electronic Health Record Agent (OSEHRA), DSS Inc., the New York State government, Skidmore College, and more. It’s our hope that some of the connections made at the festival will result in long-term collaborations and fruitful research! The event was followed by an “Open Source in Healthcare” workshop the following day, April 26th. This workshop brought together SUNY students and professors, key members of the OSEHRA community, and Veterans Affairs (VA) VistA EHR experts. Participants were given access to the Virtual Machines in the Amazon EC2 account of SUNY Albany, and materials to familiarize them with the M Language and Database, as well as with VistA. Mentors from OSEHRA and Kitware were there to assist participants through the examples, answer questions, and provide expertise. Overall both events were well attended and ran smoothly. It was an incredible experience to see the building momentum of the Capital District open-source community. We’re already looking forward to the 4th annual Open Source Festival next year!

Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report any issues to the list or the bug tracker. This release candidate will become the final release for 2.8.11 unless a serious issue is reported. Changes in CMake 2.8.11-rc4 (since 2.8.11-rc3) ---------------------------------------------- Brad King (1):       target_link_libraries: Update usage requirements documentation Stephen Kelly (3):       Centralize maintenance of usage requirement include directories       Fix include dir propagation from conditionally linked targets       Memoize usage requirement include directories in a config-specific map [Less]

One of the really nice features of VTK's testing framework is the use of image-based regression tests. These allow developers to write tests that result in a final image, which can be recorded and compared to known baseline images in order to verify ... [More] that the OpenGL rendering code is rendering the same (or similar) image on all platforms. If this fails then CDash will display the image the test produced, the baseline image it was compared to, and an image difference. Any project that performs rendering or visualization needs tests like these in addition to unit tests if they want to ensure visualization code continues to function as expected across a range of platforms. We recently extracted the relevant code from the VTK testing framework to perform image-based regressions in Avogadro 2, with the bulk of that code living in utilities/vtktesting/imageregressiontest.h. This is currently used in one of the tests, with plans to extend it to cover all major types of rendering; this can in seen in action intests/qtopengl/glwidgettest.cpp with the important lines that take the snapshot/do the image comparison being: // Grab the frame buffer of the GLWidget and save it to a QImage. QImage image = widget.grabFrameBuffer(false); // Set up the image regression test. Avogadro::VtkTesting::ImageRegressionTest test(argc, argv); // Do the image threshold test, printing output to the std::cout. return test.imageThresholdTest(image, std::cout); The CMake code that feeds in the command line arguments and ensures the test runs correctly is in tests/qtopengl/CMakeLists.txt, and largely involves passing in paths to the baseline directory, a temporary directory, and the test name (using the standard CMake generated test driver). add_test(NAME "QtOpenGL-${test}" COMMAND AvogadroQtOpenGLTests "${testname}test" "--baseline" "${AVOGADRO_DATA_ROOT}/baselines/avogadro/qtopengl" "--temporary" "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/Temporary") The above is the baseline image, which is stored in a known location and compared with the image produced by the test (shown below). If the images don't match, a difference image is produced and uploaded (shown below). In this case, you can see that an extra sphere was rendered, as is clearly be seen in the difference image. There is also a numerical difference returned by the test, which is a measure of how much the images differ. The tolerance can be tweaked depending on the test to allow some minor pixel differences, although care must be taken not to raise the number too high. We have not implemented it in Avogadro 2 yet, but VTK can use multiple baselines and returns the smallest image difference. This allows for OS/GPU specific baselines to be uploaded where necessary as an alternative to increasing the tolerance. Using special tags returned by the tests in the standard output will prompt the ctest command to upload the image files when necessary (in the case the baseline image cannot be found, or the image comparison fails).

  In this TED Talk, Clare Sutcliff raises awareness about the importance of teaching children how to write code, and what its being done in the UK to achieve this. Clare shares results from a survey of 1,300 computer programmers, that revealed ... [More] 69% started to write code before the age of 14 62% got started by the excitment of:   making things We refer to the current generation as Digital Natives. They were were born with ubiquitous Internet connectivity, mobile devices, and tablets as their first toys. However, since the beginning of the millennium, the members of this young generation, although they carry highly powerful mobile devices, they do not know how to program them. They are Consumers not Producers. Clare refers to them as the Lost Generation. Some countries are reacting to this reality, for example: In Scotland, children begin learning to program from age 3. In Stonia, children from age 6 to 18 will learn to program as part of the national curriculum. Part of the challenge, is that teachers, do not know how to code either. To solve that cycle, Clare, on her side, initiated a project in which they engaged professional computer programmers to go to local schools and teach kids how to program. They do this in after-school clubs, in an unstructured and fun environment. As platform they adopted the Scratch language, that was developed at MIT with this very purpose. They were hoping to have 20 clubs by the end of the year.... but they actually have 300+ clubs in the UK. With about 15 children on every club, this is about 4,500 children. Much still remains to be done: There are 23,000 schools in the UK, but there are also 323,000 software professionals in the UK...      :-) One day, these new Literate Digital Natives will grow up... and then they will teach the next generation to code.   Scratch is also typically included in the Raspberry Pi,     with the same intent of making programming tools, both hardware and software, accessible to youngsters.

On Wednesday February 27 a group of intrepid software developers gathered at Kitware HQ in Clifton Park, NY to get the VTK dashboards back on track. The major motivation here was to go from a dashboard with multiple failing tests on many platforms to ... [More] a green dashboard where it would be obvious when new topics induce regression test failures and would then be held back until actually ready. This was quite a historic gathering, the first ever VTK dashathon where we managed to gather the three copyright holders in one room. Will and Bill contributed code, but we couldn't tempt Ken back...this time. We would like to thank Bill Lorensen for calling us all together, and coordinating this work along with the support from Berk and Will to hold the event at KHQ. Earlier today Bill summarized what motivated the dashathon in his post "Software Quality: Talking vs Walking". We are extremely pleased to have gone from wishing to "establish a baseline of failing tests" to having a green dashboard that can be used to critically assess whether a proposed topic is ready to go in based on a simple assessment of the CDash@Home dashboard submissions. This comes after more than 2,000 topic submissions to Gerrit using code review and topic branches in VTK development. Below is the expected section of the nightly from before we started and today. If you click through, note in particular the marked difference in the Gerrit and continuous test sections. VTK dashboards before and after the big spring cleaning January 27 March 8 In the process we also developed a better understanding of what exactly the dashboards are validating. We can now simply run scripts that query CDash and augment its presentation with detailed analysis of the platform and option set that we cover on any given day. Our testing is not just greener and more useful for committers, but also more meaningful since we are careful to use our limited testing resources to test VTK more thoroughly than we did. There is still more to be done. We plan to: add testers to cover the soft spots in the option space (Windows with Java) and our software process (Mac and Windows continuous with all modules enabled to backstop the gerrit checks), improve the coverage of VTK's substantial code base, begin migrating to external data for baseline images to further improve the clarity of topic submissions in the midst of an increasingly distributed and branchy development process. With VTK and the dashboards restored to a green and robust state, I'm sure that all of us in the VTK development team will pay due diligence to maintaining a healthy VTK development branch (or else!!!). We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to VTK's first dashathon effort, especially our external contributors Bill Lorensen, David Cole, Sean McBride and David Gobbi! [Less]
