---++ Project Proposals for project period Jan to April 2011

Development of new computing services by the computing staff is scheduled in project periods (three per year). The next project period starts in January 2011 and the process of prioritising which projects will be resourced starts now (end Nov).

Please add your proposed project to the following table, completing the *Title*, *Description* and *Proposer* fields. You may wish to create a new wiki topic for your description. If you wish to lend support for an existing project, add your name to the *Supporter(s)* field. Computing staff may respond to the proposals in the *Computing staff comments* field.

| *Title* | *Description* | *Proposer* | *Supporter(s)* | *Computing staff comments* |
| Build DIR machine | With EPCC, build, test and manage the DIR (Data Intensive Research) machine | mpa | | |
| Virtualised DICE image scoping exercise | Investigate how we could deliver a virtualised DICE platform (https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/172) | MPU unit | | |
| Scientific Linux 6 port  | Upgrade LCFG platform to Scientific Linux 6 (https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/131) | MPU unit | | |
| Taught course infopages | Autogenerated information pages for all taught courses that carry a basic minimum of course information (less than the administrative descriptor in the EUCLID course catalogue) and link onward to the actual course websites. This is distinct from course-in-a-box, and I have spoken with Neil Brown and Roger Burroughs. | stark | | |

If a project is considered to be feasible, a member of computing staff will contact the proposer in order to flesh out the proposal (eg outline a plan of work, cost the project etc) in order that the project proposal can be prioritised against other projects.

The deadline for submitting a project for this period is 1st December.
