Dear Sirs,
I've heard of your project due to Google's Summer of Code program. I
have analyzed several mentor organizations and I feel I can contribute
most to yours. I have not applied yet, but I made a draft
according to Google's recommendation. The draft is as follows, and I
appreciate any suggestions to adapt it to your current needs.
The Summer of Code submission:
Name

Project Title
OSCAR core development and package maintenance/porting.
Synopsis
To help project OSCAR towards its 5.0 release, according
to http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/summerofcode
suggestions (details below).
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.
Project Details
Besides helping the project current needs, (above) my main
Idea is transform OSCAR on a modular, configurable standalone
distribution,probably including technologies from
http://www.rocklinux.org/, http://www.t2-project.org/.
By merging these technologies, a cluster administrator
can create his own distro customizing the target
architecture(i386,x86_64 etc) and choosing additional meta-packages
(life sciences MPI applications, other scientific MPI applications)
pre-included in OSCAR as users request it.
Project Schedule
The scope of the project will be adjusted to Google's
terms, but from my part It will certainly continue beyond Summer of
Code's deadline.
Bio
I'm an undergraduate in electrical engineering from University of Sao
Paulo, Brazil, possibly graduating dez/2005. I am currently helping
FAPESP's (http://www.fapesp.br/english/index.php) program called
Viral Genetic Diversity Network(VGDN)
(http://www.lemb.icb.usp.br/lemb/vgdn/www/)
which aims to sequence HIV-1, HCV and RSV variants collected across 23
labs in Brazil.
I'm currently assisting the design of the main lab (LEMB) analisys
cluster HPC, a 54 cpu-diskless cluster of 2.0ghz Opterons, and adapt to
our needs, installing software as BLAST, EMBOSS, RAxML, PROML, MrBayes,
Phylip etc.I'm proficient in C and Linux systems, currently creating
Perl scripts to "glue" several internal or external applications in the
lab's work flow.
Best wishes,
--
