I personally would love to see more of the orthogonal stuff (like these scripts) show up in github and out of contrib so the friction to contribution is much lower.
i recognize this is somewhat heretical, but this does make non-critical things more democratic, if you will. fyi http://github.com/clj-sys/crane is already a clojure/java version of these scripts. adrian on the jclouds project is contributing to it to get vendor independence to some degree. ckw On Apr 9, 2010, at 5:11 AM, Andrew Klochkov wrote: > On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 6:04 PM, Tom White <t...@cloudera.com> wrote: > >> On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 4:56 AM, Andrew Klochkov <digg...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> And also I'm thinking if it's a good idea to create a "hardware" provider >> to >>> use cloud scripts for hardware (non-cloud) cluster deployment.
