Hi all,

I have written a stub on the 2013's wiki page.


http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/Projects#Project_idea:_a_cloud_image_for_bioinformatics_with_Debian

Simply booting a Wheezy image and typing 'apt-get install med-cloud' definitely
does not need two month of full-time work (one summer of coding), and it has
already been mentionned that Cloud Bio-Linux is already distributing our
packages in cloud images.

I think that to be successful, proposals have to address other problems, in
particular the need for precise versions of software, or the need for images
that will happily crunch hundreds of gigabytes of data, or the need for
parallelisation of workflows, etc.

Have a nice week-end,

Hi James,

I think that for Debian Med, Wheezy is definitely the target.

Have a nice day,

I just learned that it seems to be hard to obtain the viewable PDF from

I agree that these things are reasonable and "not yet invented" things
but I think this is missing in the project description. 

Kind regards

Good point: I updated the description as follows.

http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/Projects#Project_idea:_a_cloud_image_for_bioinformatics_with_Debian

Description of the project: This is a call for bottom-up proposals structured
by students themselves along the following lines. 2012 has been a year of
progresses in Debian's support for clouds. Combined with Debian's leadership in
the distribution of packaged scientific and medical software, this opens
opportunities for establishing Debian as a first-class provider of virtualised
solutions for bioinformatics. To be successful, proposals will need to go
beyond simply booting a Wheezy image and typing apt-get install med-cloud, and
take into account the prior art of Cloud Bio-Linux, which is already
distributing our packages in cloud images. They will have to address other
problems, such as the need for precise versions of software, the need for
images that will happily crunch hundreds of gigabytes of data, the need for
parallelisation of workflows, etc. 

Cheers,

Hi Sukhbir Singh,

unfortunately, I cannot help you, because I'm facing the exact same
problem with the german variant. This is an old, long-standing bug[1]
which I'm still unable to solve.

Hi,

interesting to know that there is such problem.  The next valuable
resource of knowledge in questions like this would be the Debian Mentors
list - so I'd suggest to forward the problem to

debian-ment...@lists.debian.org

and ask for help.  Probably it makes sense to forward the bug below[0]
to the Debian BTS to have a proper reference.

Kind regards

 Andreas.
