Hi Atul, Glad to see that you are interested in the Mesos project!
The basic idea behind the proposal, is to add authorization/authentication support to Mesos. For example, Mesos should only allow authenticated frameworks to register and submit jobs. The plan is to leverage Kerberos/LDAP to add this support. Having said that, we are open to suggestions on how we can add support for security and auth in Mesos. To get started with Mesos, did you get a chance to look at our documentation<http://www.mesosproject.org/documentation.html> ? You can get the latest stable distribution from: http://people.apache.org/~ benh/mesos-0.10.0 Or, if you want to work on the bleeding edge you can directly clone 'trunk' from our svn <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/mesos/trunk/>/git<https://github.com/apache/mesos>repos. We currently support both Linux and MacOSX. Let me know if you have any questions/issues. @vinodkone On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 12:46 AM, Atul jangra <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey, > I am an undergraduate student studying Computer Science and Engineering > from IIT Delhi. > I wanted to participate in Google Summer of Code with Twitter this summer. > I looked upon the ideas on the list > > https://github.com/twitter/twitter.github.com/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2013 > . > I am interested in Security and Authentication project of Meso.
