The openclustergroup name has not expired.  OK, it expired but I got it back.  
So everything should be back to normal.  And if not, let me know what I need to 
do to make it all OK again.

But now that www.openclustergroup.org is working again, we should really think 
about updating the content.  As for github, what's wrong with sourceforge?   
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't see why github is better than sourceforge. 
 And with sourceforge, I don't need to learn the new "github" commands.

RHEL 6.x has the newer kernel, which gives us much better performance than the 
ancient kernel in RHEL 5.x.

And AMD Magny-Cours & Bulldozer need newer kernel versions. In fact new Linux 
kernels are needed for the following OGS Grid Engine
features:

Any plans to switch to git? I have nothing against svn, and in fact we switched 
from cvs to svn when Oracle gave us the maintainership of the open source Grid 
Engine codebase. However, sonner or later you will find that someone will 
demand for a git tree.

What needs to be done for SGE? IIRC, the original integration was done by a 
Google Summer of Code student.

Also, in order for OSCAR to be useful for future workloads, we should have 
support for Cloud & Hadoop. In Grid Engine, we added the support
recently:

http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/howto/GridEngineHadoop.html
http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/GridEngine/GridEngineCloud.html

And earlier this month, we provisioned a 10,000-node cluster on Amazon EC2:

Also, it may be useful to support Intel Phi:
