Working Group Assignment

You will be working in a group of one (1) to ten (10) members. See also RFC-2418 (http://bebas.vLSM.org/v01/rfc/2300/rfc2418.txt).
You will be asked to deliver a useful digital product with no restriction on what "a useful digital product" is. However, your Working Group should explain and argue on why you believe that the product is useful as well as how it is related to Operating System. For example:
- A teaching module.
- A testing report (e.g. Linux From Scratch; or developing a simple linux kernel module).
- A scientific paper.
- Examination materials and its answers.
- Etc, See also last year assignments.
Send (email) the digital product to
iki20230 <@T> cs.ui.ac.id as an "WGNAME.REV.tar.gz" attachment; where "WG" should be your unique Working Group name, and "REV" should be the revision number. In case your email bounces, contact your sysadmin (and not me!). You should also keep the bounced message as a proof of submission. You might want to try this alternate address iki20230 <@T> telaga.cs.ui.ac.id. But you should not send your assignment to any other alternate address, since it will be simply ignored! See also http://bebas.vlsm.org/v06/Kuliah/SistemOperasi/2002/CONTOH/
The attachment should consist of these following files:
- "README.txt" -- a text file which briefly describes the digital product as well as the group members (Name, ID, Email, Chair).
- "LICENSE.txt" -- at least a permission to display/ distribute the product through the net. You might want to consider to use the GNU Free Document Licenses (GFDL). See also http://gnu.vLSM.org/licenses/license-list.id.html.
- "product.tar" -- the digital product (in a "product/" directory).
- "report.txt" -- (1500-5000 words) describing the process of producing the digital product (based on the working log of the members). Explain, why the group belive that the product is useful, i the working plan, who will be doing what, etc.
- "review.txt" -- please give comments about the other working group's products (See also http://bebas.vLSM.org/v06/Kuliah/SistemOperasi/2002/);
- "log.tar" -- each working group member should record all hir (his or her) activities (in a "log/" directory) like:
  - meeting minutes
  - working plan
  - digital product options (discussion).
  - digital product selection (discussion).
Schedule
- 12 September 2002: The first progress report submission in regard of working group establishment (file "WG-NAME.01.tar.gz").
- 26 September 2002: The second progress report in regard of the digital product selection process (file "WG-NAME.02.tar.gz'').
- 24 October 2002: the third submission (file "WG-NAME.03.tar.gz") should report the final selection
- 21 November 2002: the forth submission (file "WG.04.tar.gz") should include a full version of your digital product draft.
- 19 December 2002: the fifth submission (file "WG.05.tar.gz") should include the alpha version (view bugs are acceptable).
- 3 January 2002: the final submission (file "WG.06.tar.gz").
- 24 January 2002: Updates (optional).

Examination Regulation

In lieu Dean's decree number 1007/SK/PT02.H4.FASILKOM/PP/1/1998 in regard of "Midterm and Final Term Guidance and Regulation", beware:

that cheating during the examination will be reported to the Dean's office. It could render a disciplinary action of expulsion from the university!
to attend the examination on time.
to bring the student ID or any other ID with an attached picture.
not to bring any electronic device such as pager, cell-phone, calculator, etc.
