As exciting as it sounds, I would personally keep it on a low profile, at least until we have accomplished our objective (even if partial).
I would say lets stay focused on this project and, this project alone. Keep the specs to the bare minimum, keep the media and other distractions out, and just make sure that we have a working system when we are done with it. There will be plenty of opportunities to invite media and other LUGs afterwards. In fact, we should host a formal, well-prepared presentation detailing the project...but only after we have made some significant progress. Best wishes and good luck to all those involved in this exciting project, Nishi > -----Original Message----- > From: linuxlingam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 9:25 AM > To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list > Cc: linux india > Subject: [ilugd] [x-posted] ilug-d's first ad-hoc, on-the-fly > supercomputer > > > dear linux users across india, > > looks like ilug-delhi is rolling with plans to build a "flash mob" > supercomputer sometime this month or next month. > > people will be invited to bring in their pcs, whether linux or windoze > boxes, and plug it into a high-speed LAN. a bootable live distro of > gnulinux that allows clustering, will be used to boot the pcs and make > them into nodes. > > our first, on-the-fly, supercomputer. > > this event will doubtlessly make news, and make history. > > more details about this can be found on the linux-delhi mailing list > > ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Archives at: > http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ > > would be really exciting if Linux User Groups across india > also get into > building flashmobsupercomputers in their areas. > > let's start this race. > 1) which ilug is the first to make the flash mob supercomputer > 2) who builds the fastest > 3) who has the largest number of nodes. > 4) how would these compare to india's fastest supercomputers? > > this will be so cool! we'll have supercomputers being built > on weekends > across india. > > remember to call the local press in your area to the event. > > :-) > LL > > > > _______________________________________________ > ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Archives at: > http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ > > _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
