Fall 2004 Projects
Fall 2004 Projects
z/VM GUI
- Jason Herne
- Kevin Roberts
- Aaron Hughes
- Andrew Bingham
- Jay Frantz
- Ryan Miller
- James Kraetz
The goal of this project is to create a program that a z/VM administrator can use to easily and efficiently monitor and manage a z/VM environment on an IBM eServer zSeries mainframe. They wish to provide an easy and intuitive user interface in such a way that the end user will not need to know a great deal about CP/CMS commands or z/VM in general in order to perform basic system administration tasks.
Linux Zoo
- Todd Deshane
The Linux Zoo project is designed to help students in COSI become familiar with the variety of distributions of Linux, BSD, and other open source operating systems that are available. A subset of our lab machines will be dual-booted with a different distribution to allow our members and other students on campus to gain familiarity and experience these systems.
Projects Database
- Justin Basinger
- Chris Johnson
- James Kim
- Justin Leider
The projects database will incorporate a number of initiatives that COSI has had in the works for a period of time. First, it will be a database of current COSI projects, project members, and project information that can become a central repository (as opposed to these web pages). It will also become a project ideas database, cataloging ideas COSI members have for projects but may not necessarily have the time to complete. Overall, its goal is to become the central project repository for our membership.
GNOME Media Manager
- Mike McCabe
- Mike Chavoustie
- Jeremy Bongio
- Zack Colgan
The GNOME Media Manager (aka. the ‘Giant Project of Doom’) is an effort to simplify the use of external media players (MP3 players, iPods, etc) with the GNOME desktop environment. This will most likely include a media player API, gnome-vfs module, additions to the gnome-volume-manager, as well as nautilus enhancements.
Campus Linux Conversion Project
- James Kraetz
The goal of this project is simple: convert as much of Clarkson University students and staff to using Linux as possible. This project includes a web page that will be the home for FAQs, tutorials, and a forum to help new Linux users through converting from Windows to Linux. The page at this point is still a work in progress, but keep checking up as updates are posted regularly.
