Amazon Web Services, BioTeam and Univa UD Webinar -
Clouds and Clusters: Running UniCluster in Amazon's EC2

So synergy does not seem to work to well in Fedora 9 for some reason.  I found a patch that is supposed to correct an issue similar to what I'm seeing so I figured I'd recompile the source and see if it worked any better. 

Well if you haven't already checked it out please go ahead and have a look on http://groups.grid.org/content/unicluster for the UniCluster 4.0 Test Drive.

UniCluster 4.0 is a big change from our previous releases of UniCluster.  We went back to the drawing board and 'put our heads together' to figure out 'what is needed for a medium sized HPC cluster?'.  UniCluster 4.0 creates the whole cluster all you need is the hardware and CentOS 5 or Oracle Enterprise Linux (the software works on RHEL as well but we didn't focus on that for the Test Drive.)

No, not the highly overused business buzzword, the pure software based, network KVM. 

Invitation

I'd like to extend an invitation to our open source partners to join us in co-marketing activities at this year's SuperComputing conference in November (Austin, TX). We're planning a big party since, to us, it's a backyard party!

Pitch Your Product or Technology

Want to get your chance to pitch your product as part of our solution to over 10,000 active buyers and users? Now's your chance.

We at Univa UD have been a supporter of Open Source for a long time, even prior to the merger of Univa and United Devices.  As a part of our normal use of other Open Source products, we frequently develop patches or report bugs about functionality that is missing or broken. 

I've tried to keep a record of most of the contributions we've made back to other community projects, but I'm not deeply involved with all products going on here so I may have missed a few.  In any case, you can read the list of the contributions I'm aware of on the wiki...

Howdy grid.org's Open Source Evangelist here!

Why did we at Grid.org decide to use Drupal?  It was a difficult decision.  I really like Collabnet and Jive (the main competitors we looked at.) 

The team also really wanted to go with a complete Open Source solution.  And while I was sorely tempted by Jive's functionality, we decided that we wanted to be "pure."  And Collabnet - the wonderful sponsors of Subversion (which is OS) isn't completely Open Source either.

As we mention elsewhere, it is very important to all of us at grid.org to be transparent about the fact that the site is sponsored by corporate entities.  It’s due to their support that we are able to offer Grid.org projects to the community at large.

We appreciate our corporate sponsors, and we want to be very clear about who they are:
