Captain's Log: 2013.08.17

• 1st meeting during the weekend!
• Chilled at the Los Angeles Grand Central Library, walked around DTLA a bit
• Renamed all onebox engines and specs to end with _onebox/Onebox
  • We want to pass an array of all the oneboxes, but without including the OpenGraph module
  • We'll be searching for the onebox engines/specs based on their suffixes
  • Renamed throughout the project
• Created OpenGraph module
  • Includes Engine module
  • To be used for sites that support Open Graph Protocol
    • It's standardized and easier to parse
    • Don't have to deal with OGP sites that generate content using Javascript (like Flickr)
    • Lots of supporting sites, so won't have to create as many explicit engines and specs
  • Learned how to namespace from root (ex. ::OpenGraph.new(@url))
• Created Flickr engine and specs to start using OpenGraph module
• Captain Kurt drafted a format for our presentation, to be called "Pulling a Gem Out of your App"
  • We'll highlight 5 lessons we've learned since starting work on onebox gem
• HOMEWORK:
  • Read article from Heart, Mind Code by David Brady
  • Keep working on presentation
