thin-OSCAR is a bit out of date and need definetely a lot of refreshing ;-) We are the original creators of thin-OSCAR and we would be very happy to help and contribute. We have a very strong experience with diskless computing (we did some clusters of XTERM servers and we are currently deploying it in several school districts) and we have some great ideas based on those experiences for thin-OSCAR (like the possibility to have a CD/PXE image that allow you to have a kind of grid when people don't use their computer, great for demo or tests/benchmark too) This is defintely doable during the timetable that google "suggest" ;-) > > >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. > > According to your suggestions, perhaps I should "trim" this a bit to > what is more useful and deliverable within 3 months of work. > I'm accepting your suggestions to subit to google ASAP. > > Regards, > > -- > ======================================================== > Joao Paulo P.
