Today, I managed to join the very first UTP CampusCamp which was held at building 01-02-04 Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. There were 15 attendees joined the event and some of us did sharing on things like Fedora, Gnome 3, Linux, Android, how to be a good event planner (LOL), car, working experience in UTP, and many more.

My session at UTP CampusCamp was to give a demonstration on how to work with CodeIgniter framework. But somehow my laptop could not connect with the projector. So, I borrowed Amirul’s notebook, just change my topic on the fly and present my final year project (fyp), Malaysia Halal Maps. *Thanks to AmirulAbu*

Pictures of the day!

As I wrote in my last post, I will write some details about my Final Year Project (FYP) in this post. FYI, I’m not taking FYP2 yet for this semester. I supposed to finish my study and leave UTP by this September. However, I just like to extend one semester of my study (until mid of January 2012). So, I’ll be taking FYP2 next semester together with just another subject; Malaysian Studies.

When I’m proposed the title for my FYP, my supervisor was not convince with the project. Hence, he proposed to me to proceed with a new title which is my current project: Map Mashup for Halal Industry in Malaysia. So, this is how I start working on my FYP.

The objective of this project is to build a platform so that the suppliers, manufacturers, and consumers can interact with each other in an easier way via a standard platform. The current directory listing provided by JAKIM and HDC is inconvenient to the user. So, by plotting data straight onto the map will be much more easier for users to analyze the data.
