---++ 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 | | | | ERA/PR | <p>Is there something we could do to help with the perceived short comings/delays of Publications Repository/ERA</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/189) </p> | services unit | | <p>This would probably be sub project of the existing " [[https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/158][move www.inf to new technology]]" project</p><p> </p> | | <p>Improved bug tracking tool </p><p> </p> | <p> Provide an improved bug tracking tool for use by the School</p><p> https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/183 </p><p> </p> | Services Unit | | | | <p>Port to apacheconf</p><p> </p> | <p> port websites currently using the apache component to use apacheconf</p><p> (https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/184)</p> | <p> Services Unit</p><p> </p> | | | | <p>Migrate wiki to central service </p> | <p>Move the contents of the Scool wiki to the Confluence central service</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/185) </p> | Services Unit | | | | <p>Migration of AFS data </p><p> </p> | <p>Migrate all AFS RW volumes downtown and reorganise storage to allow widespread deployment of RAID10</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/186) </p> | Services Unit | | | | Prometheus main project and necessary sub-projects | <p>Main Prometheus project and sub-projects necessary to complete and bring into service full account lifecycle management (https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/75, https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/182, https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/187, https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/188, https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/169)</p><p> </p> | Infrastructure Unit | | | | Prometheus enhancements | <p> Enhancements to the Prometheus account management system, as enumerated in the project description</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/179) </p> | Infrastructure Unit | | Depends on the main Prometheus projects completing | | Scanning for compromised machines | <p>Set up a system which would perform regular network scans, looking for exported services with known compromises or misconfigurations</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/103) </p> | Infrastructure Unit | | The IS project which was supposed to have provided this service didn't produce anything and is now no more. | | Nagios enhancements | <p> Enhancements and upgrades to the nagios system monitoring system</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/125)</p> | Infrastructure Unit | | | | wallet enhancements | <p> Enhancements to the wallet key and certificate store</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/174) </p> | Infrastructure Unit | | Depends on Prometheus completion | | KDC rekey | <p> Re-key our kerberos KDCs to use more modern encryption types by default</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/180) </p> | Infrastructure Unit | | | | OpenLDAP upgrade | <p> We're running a very old version of OpenLDAP on our servers, and should be upgrading.</p><p>(https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/181)</p> | Infrastructure Unit | | | | Further AFS development and automation | (https://devproj.inf.ed.ac.uk/project/show/135) | | Infrastructure Unit | | 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. -- Main.AlastairScobie - 22 Nov 2010
