Subject: [Oscar-devel] Google Summer of Code application
Dear
Sirs,
I've heard of your
project due to Google's Summer of Code program. I
have analyzed several
mentor organizations and I feel I can contribute
most to yours. I have not
applied yet, but I made a draft
according to Google's recommendation. The
draft is as follows, and I
appreciate any suggestions to adapt it to your
current needs.
The Summer of Code
submission:
Name

Project
Title
OSCAR core development and package
maintenance/porting.
Synopsis
To help project OSCAR
towards its 5.0 release, according
to http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/summerofcode
suggestions
(details below).
Deliverables
-Incorporate a
configurable LiveCD image creation,
possibly using
Knoppix.
- Create the Sun Grid Engine
package.
- Port OSCAR to other
distros(Centos/FC4)
- Add support to other processor
architectures:
(x86_64, SPARC,
ALPHA).
*-Enhance OSCAR to become a standalone,
configurable distribution.
Project Details
Besides
helping the project current needs, (above) my main
Idea is transform OSCAR on
a modular, configurable standalone
distribution,probably including
technologies from
http://www.rocklinux.org/, http://www.t2-project.org/.
By merging
these technologies, a cluster administrator
can create his own distro
customizing the target
architecture(i386,x86_64 etc) and choosing additional
meta-packages
(life sciences MPI applications, other scientific MPI
applications)
pre-included in OSCAR as users request it.
Project
Schedule
The scope of the project will be adjusted to
Google's
terms, but from my part It will certainly continue beyond Summer
of
Code's deadline.
Bio
I'm an undergraduate in
electrical engineering from University of Sao
Paulo, Brazil, possibly
graduating dez/2005. I am currently helping
FAPESP's (http://www.fapesp.br/english/index.php)
program called
Viral Genetic Diversity Network(VGDN)
(http://www.lemb.icb.usp.br/lemb/vgdn/www/)
which
aims to sequence HIV-1, HCV and RSV variants collected across 23
labs in
Brazil.
I'm currently assisting the design of the main lab (LEMB)
analisys
cluster HPC, a 54 cpu-diskless cluster of 2.0ghz Opterons, and adapt
to
our needs, installing software as BLAST, EMBOSS, RAxML, PROML,
MrBayes,
Phylip etc.I'm proficient in C and Linux systems, currently
creating
Perl scripts to "glue" several internal or external applications in
the
lab's work flow.
Best
wishes,
--
