Hackweek 17 - Android

My second Hackweek project was to learn the basics of developing Apps for Android. The Motivation There have often been situations where I needed a specific feature in an Android app but didn’t try to implement it myself because I had no idea about Android development. Now with Hackweek at my hands I wanted to take the time to learnt he basics of this, so that when such a situtaion occurs again I will be able to jump in and try things out.

Hackweek 17 - hedwig

Here at SUSE it’s Hackweek again! This year I picked two projects two work on. One of which was finishing my Raspberry Pi home surveillance. A while ago I started writing a small XMPP bot called hedwig for this purpose. It’s written in C using the libstrophe XMPP library. The goal is to be able to send it commands with my phone using Conversations, most importantly to take pictures of my living room.
