Is anyone planning to attend the CCGrid 2001 conference in Brisbane? I'm thinking of going, and putting together a poster on the sorts of cluster software that is built-in to Debian. The poster session chair sounded receptive. The conference is May 15-18, and abstracts need to be in by the end of the month (sooner if possible). www.ccgrid.org for more information. I'd need to solicit material from the various cluster-software maintainers, so please reply if you're willing to constribute something. I'm thinking diagrams of all the different interacting, optional packages, Debian-added features, integration, etc. Most of the audience should already be familiar with the upstream packages. The poster session need not use exclusive material since it won't be published in the conference proceedings (just online). Among other things I'd like to corner Sun's speaker on when their Grid Engine will be Opensourced, so I can replace DQS (non-free and now oprhanced upstream) with Codine (a derivative of DQS) that is part of Sun's Gridware package.
