YES. Please, please, I hope that around 3 or 4 people respond and say, "I can definitely help". We will then -- as a community -- come up with a plan for how to use the extensive hardware I have at UW that fits what the internal audit office agreed with, and then do it. I can do what needs local access, and everybody can do all the other stuff, after we discuss it together, and come up with an approach that has certain properties that make sense. We can discuss this on the sagemath-admins list in the long run. We could start with an inventory of hardware and space, then go from there. In the short run, let's think about a plan that works. My memory is that this is the inventory of resources: - one single rack - "infinite" free bandwidth and power - 20 (?) Dell R415 1U servers with 16 cores and between 64 and 96GB RAM and between 1 and 6TB of disk. Most have a 1TB SSD. - 4 2U Suns from Jan 2009 with 24 cores and 128GB RAM. - a 64-core Dell with 192GB RAM that regularly crashes. - 1 4U Sun with 24TB of disk (48 512GB disks) - a big UPS that takes up nearly 1/3 of the rack. I think that is it. Note that currently half of the Dell R415's are in pile on the floor, since they don't fit in the rack. Andrew Ohana put CentOS and some kvm VM's on some of the above machines. However, he has no time for admin work, so I'm OK with starting over. Ideas from people doing the work to implement them *and* maintain them for at least a year are welcome. I would like to have a core team of about 5 people who all have full admin access to all machines, and understand *exactly* what is where involved. Most of the above machines even have remote management interfaces, which provide full console access (and CD drives, etc.). What we host: - trac - sage wiki - downloads/rsync server - cython's stuff: on a dedicated server - mpir's stuff: on a dedicated server - a few hundred sage.math accounts and corresponding files... like Simon King's. These are all *fine* to continue hosting, including Simon's stuff and much more like it... if the community will help. -- William -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
