Planning for POSSCON and Sqwashing Another Bug

During our group meeting yesterday, I tackled a small bug (0011257) found in VTK/Utilities/octree/octree_curser.cxx.  The bug itself was very simple; One of the conditional statements "if ( axis < 0 || axis >= (1<<d_) )" had to be changed to "if ( axis < 0 || axis >= d_) )".  The way it was before, if the class was already loaded elsewhere, then it would cause an error.

I made the change to the file in my branch of the code, and then went through the steps to commit my code.  I did run into a small problem of not remembering my keyring password, so I did not complete the git commit, but I should be able to get that submitted soon.

As far as POSSCON planning goes, I read through the list of speakers that will be there.  There are a few individuals that I'd enjoy having a conversation with.  Below are the individuals that are most interesting imo:
  • Dr. Jihad S. Obeid - CoEE Endowed Chair in Biomedical Informatics at the MUSC
  • Dr. Dan Russler - VP Clinical Informatics, Oracle Health Sciences Strategy
  • Walter Bender - Founder & Exec. Dir. - Sugar Labs, Co-founder One Laptop per Child
  • Sebastian Dziallas - Engineering Manager, Sugar on a Stick (SoaS)
  • David Nalley - Community Manager, CloudStack
  • Mel Chua - Hacker, Red Hat Community Leadership Team
