Katangodage B.T. (I) and Oshadi P.A.U. made the structure of the prototype presentation and the topics which we should include in the presentation.

The deadline was made for the presentation designing submission on 28th of August 2008.

The progress of the Interface designing team still remains the same. Today also I told Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. another way of inserting flash into the NetBeans and try out.

The meeting was held among the members today evening.

Katangodage B.T.(I) discussed with the members about the future project work. I assigned Ileperuma H.A. as the In-Charge of the prototype presentation and asked him to handle everything related to the prototype.I  instructed him how to make the presentation.

I instructed Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. to add effects to the buttons of the interface and told how the structure of the home page should be and submit the interfaces on Friday 29th of August 2008. 

 

I selected the members who should do the mid term presentation according to their abilities, responsibility and specially by considering their personal matters.

The members who I selected for the group members are,

• Ariyadasa H.M.L.L. - Member of Interface Designing Team and he requested to present at the mid term because he's having an operation soon.
• Oshadi P.A.U.      - Member of the requirements analysing team and overall UML diagram designing. Also she requested to present at the prototype presentation and I thought of reducing her work load at the final exam by assigning her to present at the prototype since she worked hard from the begining to make this project a success.
• Gayan Kumara       - Member of database designing. Also he requested to present in the prototype presentation.
• Katangodage B.T.   - member of the Coding team and also I may have some examinations in the university by that time.
• Ramanayake A.R.D.N.D. - Ramanayake A.R.D.N.D. is sick so he may not be able to do the final presentation.
