Hi!
The fellowship of supercomputing maniacs met this
sunday at Raju's palce. The minutes (seconds to be
precise) are printed in the following lines.
===================<minutes>==========================
the meet begin after waitng a while for Mr. Niyam
(LL) Bhushan, who as usual confirmed a day before to
Raju that he won't be coming.
We started, by Raj trying out the flashmob iso
brought by Anindya. Flashmob iso achived 0.4 something
GFlops on Raju's Laptop. Folowing this trial Raj
dictated 21 questions to be answered during the
discussion (we failed to answer even one question). As
volunteers for location were missing except for
Anindya from PCQuest, we decided CMIL as tentative
venue to conduct the flashmob computing.
The discussion revolved around 21 questions (written
in detail at the end on minues). During the discussion
we decided to go for lunch, so the fellowship went to
a kerla restaurant and had couple of kerla dishes
(names not understood by me). The discussion continued
on the lunch table.
At the end of the lunch session following conclusions
were drawn
1) Try out a prototype to check the feasability of the
project.
2) Shejar and Anindya will try out flashmob iso
3) Vivek (Vk) the weired will try to make an iso which
will allow nodes to download image from the main
server, and experiment with the feasability of such
iso.
4) Vk, Anindya, shejar and manpreet(against his
wishes) will meet at PCQ office this sunday (18th
April) at 8 in the morning to check the feasability.
The results of this test will be declared at the
following ilugd meet same day. (At okhla venue)
5)if project is feasable discussion will take place at
ilugd meet to decide the future course of action.
