I am getting close to a first alpha, working hard to finish the last features to get out there.

#82I am working on using google spreadsheet / excel as the backed for e-commerce. I have built the features for magento for managing products, categories, images, mapping from simple to configurable products, configurable attributes etc. It works well for up to 10K skus. Looking to expand it to shopify and other ecommerce backends. It would be great to run the ecommerce right out of the spreadsheet (cahced of course) in…
Excel as a back end sound like a terrible idea to me. Any reason why?

#83I'm working on a single page wiki that uses a notecard metaphor: https://github.com/monknomo/CardWiki
I'm also working on a bunch of batch scripts to manage installing and switching between different versions of python in windows, as well as virtual environment management: https://github.com/monknomo/pywin
I need a new name for that one, because something else is already called pywin...
I have most of a game from a game jam; I just need to add fun. Manage a crop of potatoes: https://github.com/monknomo/POTATO_MANAGEMENT_SYSTEM

#84I am currently experimenting with sentiment analysis using Python scikit-learn and NLTK. Working on a project that tries to predict if a user rated a business positively or negatively based on his review comment. I have access to only the 160 characters of the review (not the full text) along with the rating given by the user. With 10K samples of reviews and their ratings, I am currently at 70% accuracy in predicting if a review is positive or negative.

Checkout Google FusionTables, pretty much the same idea.

#86I'm working on a molecular sensor. Basically it's a novel sensor (hardware) that uses machine learning techniques (in software) to identify single molecules. I just finished a doctorate were I showed that the technology could compete with mass spec and has applications in high accuracy bio-molecule characterization.
wow this sounds really cool. Any way you can post the link for more info/send it to me?
Working on getting publications out, so I don't have a link just yet. So far the research has been reviewed by my committee and I'm working with a couple genomics and metabolomics groups to validate applications. I will start pursuing funding for the business side within a year.

#88The Effing Weather (http://www.theeffingweather.com). The theme of the app is accurate weather laced with a profane quote juxtaposed with a beautiful background. Currently working on the Android version (80% done) and after that fixing up the iOS version and also fixing up the website.

#89I am working on Raydem. (http://www.raydemapp.com).
Raydem is an opinion platform that allows you to give ratings to the public figures on the news. Our collective ratings dictate the popularity chart of the concerned entity.
As you use Raydem, you act like a teacher in a classroom. You give bonus-malus points to the public figures and institutions depending on their behaviors, decisions and statements.
You can't be censored and your ratings have a direct and permanent impact. It is a like a tweet but way more powerful for us citizens. On Fb and Twitter it is the public figures who own the medium. On Raydem they don't. We celebrate democracy. Hence the slogan: Rays of Democracy.
This is my personal political engagement as a Software Engineer. It will be great to see Raydem being used to track and monitor the presidential candidates.
I am seeking users who would like to join for a beta. The ideal profile: politically savy, twitter user, news reader. A group of Poli Sci university students would be great as well. Feel free to make intros.
Raydem is in limited private beta. The android app is being finished.
I'd appreciate your advice and support.

#90Lately I got involved in AlaSQL - a young project implementing a javascript SQL database http://alasql.org - For the moment I focus on grooming the documentation and the test flow.
I really love the thrill of new projects where you are not afraid to dream and where the impossible does not scare the team. Ok - we meet limits, but it does not limit us from dreaming, trying, learning and doing.
I actually think the 'doing' part is what most attracts me to get involved with side projects. Maybe because people get involved on the level they feel right. You _take_ a task because you feel it's important / worth it.
That's my 2 cents...
