Hi Everybody, I think the current Sage UW cluster team is:
- William Stein - Andrey Novoseltsev - Dima Pasechnik - Vincent Delecroix - Thierry - Samuel Lelievre - Harald Schilly - Andrew Ohana (minimal availability -- but wants to discuss) I think that's pretty good actually. To be in the team you have to volunteer to help out regularly for **the next year**. In exchange you get to help out, get admin on everything, and together we'll decide on what to do. Every option is on the table to start. There were some proposals above already about how to set things up. I propose that we come up with ideas and get ideas from the community, but that we together have final say on what to actually do, since we'll be doing all the work. We can vote/argue, but if there is major contention or a tie, I'll decide things somehow. Our goal (and the legally agreed upon thing with my university) is to support (a) sage developers, and (b) research mathematicians. Regarding hardware, there was no budget when I first sent this email, but now there is a small budget due to a much-appreciated (!) donation from a Sage developer. So, e.g., buying another full rack is an option. -- William On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 11:44 AM, Harald Schilly <h...@sagemath.com> wrote: > I'm not an expert with configuring a cluster, but I've read good things > about "Ansible".
