Events: An Online Registration Mashup for the Nullpointer.ph Community

---

Nullpointer.ph is an online question and answer site for local developers here in the Philippines. Similar to the site, StockOverflow, the Nullpointer.ph lets sharing of knowledge by providing a platform wherein new programmers learn faster from experienced ones. Nullpointer.ph aims to be a one stop place/site for computer learning and advice. It was in the late 2009 when the Nullpointer.ph was started. Since then, the Nullpointer.ph continues to gain members, and presently having 411 registered user. With this increase in population, the Nullpointer.ph expanded its service through the creation of the jobs.nullpointer.ph commonly called the job on board. The job on board allows companies to post job hiring for their respective fields.

As Nullpointer.ph seeks for more ways on giving service, developers noticed a problem regarding events organization within its members. Local developers uses different event creation sites to promote events and meetings (e.g. google groups, facebook events, meetup.com). The Nullpointer.ph found this very inconvenient for our local developers since there are lots of existing event creation sites. This extends to serious problems such as tedious account management and event monitoring. The Nullpointer.ph wants to solve this problem by creating an application that will provide tools for event creation. This will be done by combining useful tools from different event creation sites into one web application, and adding extra features unique for the new site. The main goal of this project is to consolidate information on events organized by local developers and make it easily available through the Nullpointer.ph site.

What do I expect?

Before the semester started, I was thinking of the things I must do before deciding to enroll. This list is actually my expectations not only for my SP but for the rest of my remaining academic stuffs.

I expect myself to be..

• more proactive. 
• since I am also working while studying, I should advance on the things I need to do both in work and acads.
• more perseverent
• this SP topic is a commitment which I need to work hard on to, to meet my goals.
• more consistent
• I must continue to be in the fast phase in which I should avoid to do less from my expected output.
• more conscious
• Sensitive to all happenings. Aware of the time being and not let myself to do nothing because time continues to run.
• busy at all times
• There are so many things to do. Finish them off before slacking around.
• working on my SP 2 for the 2nd semester.

I expect my adviser to be...

• helpful for accomplishing my expectations.
• present at all times whenever I need to consult something.
• encouraging us to do more than expected.

I am hoping to ENJOY this semester while doing my SP with my co-SPers and my adviser. Ciao!
