Looks like GridEngine ( http://gridengine.sunsource.net ) is planning to apply for SoC. We are still discussing what projects to work on... you can see the discussion thread here: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=11756 Since most of the bioclusters use GridEngine as the batch/workload management system, I would like to see if there is anything that is relative small so that a student can finish in a summer but nevertheless useful to most SGE users, and I will forward the interesting ideas to the SGE dev list. BTW, the runway is short (deadline is May 1st)... Also, the code needs to be licensed under one of those recognized by Google, but luckily SISSL is one of those :) Rayson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
