Hey guys,
I wanted to let everyone know that I am currently working on a draft of the OpenStack research proposal. One of the professors is requesting a quick, high-level draft by this Wednesday 2/1 for the ITERA Conference (International Telecommunications Education and Research Association) in March. Currently, the document does not go into many details about the OpenStack platform and is simply an overview of the research project itself and the methodology that is to be used. The document, however, will be the starting point for the research proposal to the OpenStack community. If anyone is interested in taking a look at the document and following allow with its progress, let me know. Bear in mind that this is an undergraduate research paper and is not under any constraints like those of a Master's thesis. A few of you mentioned that you are currently students pursuing higher education and I would greatly appreciate some critiques as I continue to write this document. As the proposal matures over the next couple of weeks I am also interested in finding a mentor within the community who can guide me on the points I intend on making in the proposal.

Andrew, I am Hitesh Wadekar, I am prospective student for MS computer sciecne (Fall 2012). It will be glad for us if you could specify or elaborate more what exactly you want to do, as cloud is vast, We need to choose specific domain for study, for example, I have choosen OpenStack + Xen Cloud Platform. I undestand that your focus towords IT engineering. but, I would suggest we should first study OpenStack nut and bolts. then we can come across good solution for IT engineering for OpenSatck ( for instance, deployment, performance study, virtualization layer automation through cloud orchastration etc...) OpenSatck is good platform to study public vs private. I guess now all industry is planning to opt OpenStack. SOA (Software Oriented Architecture) will play major part in the future. and for this Nova-API and XAPI (Xen API), LibVirt are very important. I completly agree with Todd. We need to provide first proposal to draw an overview to study. Thanks Andrew and Todd. Let me know Andrew if you need more information, we can chat over gmail.

I think you should also try to take into account privacy, cloud economics, and be more explicit about your comparison to public cloud. Are you thinking about private vs. public? Or is it more of a old school IT vs. cloud-style, more devops-minded IT? I would like to see you go into more depth with your proposal to try to draw out a possible mentor in the OpenStack community. The more detail that you go into, the more advice we can give you.
