In addition, I would like to ask for a MOTU volunteer to specifically collaborate on the TORQUE package, which is now in REVU. I have done the grunt work, it's gone through a couple of cycles of reviewing by persia and minghua, and I estimate that the package is 90% complete. It is, however, a complicated packaging with 10 splitoff packages, init & maintainer scripts and the works. I imagine with such a complicated package, it will be difficult for me alone as a non-MOTU to get it finished in time for Hardy. I will be a lot of back and forth on REVU and waiting for someone to have time to get acquainted with the package and review it. For those who don't know, TORQUE is a batch queue client-server system, especially designed to be the user front end of a computing cluster. It would be really good to get this into Hardy, especially since Mark Shuttleworth's vision for UL2008 includes: "large-scale government deployments of Ubuntu on the desktop (there have now been several) specialist deployments, for example high- performance computing clusters, or vertical market solutions" Torque is a piece of key software for a HPC cluster! So, if there's a MOTU out there willing to put a bit of work in helping me get the package done in time, it would be most welcome!
