+title : Grant and Brendan's collaboration
+---
+
+Brendan was at first confused about the placement of the NCAA repo; he had cloned it as ncaa inside of the spring2014 directory. Grant explained that “git repos do not live happily inside of each other,” so Brendan employed rm –rf ncaa. This one command removed all of the files in the ncaa directory, including all of the files in its subdirectories, then removed each subdirectory once it was empty, then removed the folder “ncaa” once it was empty. Brendan then respawned the ncaa directory outside of the spring2014 folder, so that it could have more Lebensraum.
+
+After cloning the NCAA github repo in nitrous, Brendan made a branch called “wisconsin” inside it. He added the requested labels and pushed the file to the master branch for Grant to pull down to his own fork and edit, and Grant similarly entered the labels for the Arizona team on a newly created "Arizona" branch and pushed the Arizona file to the origin.
+
+Brendan then pulled the Arizona file to his own fork and entered data about the Arizona Wildcats basketball team. Grant did the same for the Wisconsin Badgers.
+
+Brendan did not know anything about basketball, but after searching Wikipedia and an ESPN [page](http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/history/_/team1/5229) which Google (through Startpage.com) brought him to, he was able to find the relevant data.
+
+Grant merged Brendan’s pull request [here](https://github.com/silshack/NCAA/pull/37), while Brendan merged Grant’s pull request [here](https://github.com/silshack/NCAA/pull/38).

+title : Final Meetup Reflection
+---
+
+The meetup at Splat Space was mostly dedicated to talking with my classmates about the plans for our final project, which was useful although it could have been done outside of a coding meetup. There was also some discussion from other people there on unusual applications of Python which I had not been aware of, and one person present gave us an assessment of our general idea, deeming it ambitious but possible.
+
+I found the two meetups of TriPython to be more helpful, though, as they involved hands-on learning on my part. Chris Calloway was very helpful in explaining Python functions to me. At the most recent meetup, was pleasantly surprised that I was eventually able to concentrate and improve my understanding of our team’s project in the noisy environment of a bar. I acquired his contact information and he has encouraged me to contact him in the future for coding-related assistance. As I will be remaining in Chapel Hill for most of the summer, I hope to attend more meetings of the TriPython group.
+
+Incidentally, I learned while walking back to my car from the last meeting that Chris had some experience with OCR as well. This was part of the subject of my recently completed final paper for Information Retrieval, and I found the topic particularly interesting.
