Geolocation Anjum, 

• This is a proposed project for one of the Indian students.

...

• Bebo said Topher would be interested in getting a student to port PingER to an Android. Possibly one of the Indian students. Les put out a version of the PingER MA on Github at https://github.com/iepm/ in 2013 as part of coordinating with Google( which did not get very far). It has been dormant since it was put out there. Les is not a github expert or user so is  unclear how complete it is or who can access it.   Can somebody test and if not available let Les know what to do. 

• Topher will be back in a couple of days. He will set up a shareable Github for PingER files. Bebo and Topher are working on it. Les has provided the source code location. Once we have it then we can share with Amity to check it works.

• There are some students at UNIMAS who have expressed interest in the illegal logging audio project. This might be tied into Microsoft's Imagine. 

Saqib

Saqib has a student Aqsa Hameed who has been working with Anjum to look at a project to create a Hadoop/Cloudera PingER warehouse to enable easier, more powerful access to PingER historical data.

Saqib has submitted a project with title "A Fundamental Active Internet Performance Monitoring Framework for Pakistan Education & Research Network (PERN) in University of Agriculture, Faisalabad"
