>Hello,
>
>I'm writing this to you three so that someone can bring this up at the
>next Kakapo meeting. As many of you know I am leaving tomorrow for 8 days
>and will miss this weeks meeting. I'll return on the 14th of August.
>
>Anyhow, there was a request for a small winathena cluster for the Biology
>students lounge. They have 3 linux athena machines and were interested in
>utilizing winathena. I met with members of the student group and with
>Gurukarm the Biology webmaster to discuss the details. After explaining
>the ins and outs with them, I think this is something that we can do for
>them and I recommend that we go ahead and set it up. Here are the details
>to the best that I can describe them.
>
>** Things they wanted that we can provide:
>Windows XP WinAthena machines and all that is provided (printing, afs, etc.)
>
>** MSI Software that we have:
>Office
>Matlab
>Mathematica
>Mozilla 15 and shockwave and flash plugins
>IE and shockwave and flash plugins
>Java JRE 1.4.2
>Adobe Reader 6.0
>Possibly (license? - Dreamweaver MX, Adobe Illustrator 10, Adobe Photoshop 7)
>X-Win32 and F-Secure SSH Client
>Quicktime Player
>7-Zip
>
>** Software that they would like that we can probably provide:
>Rasmol (easy MSI to build or put into courselocker)
>
>** Things that they would like to do that they will be on their own:
>They want to have a repository of GRE test CD's and other similar software
>for loan. These would have to be setup on each machine as an
>administrator first. They would be trainined on how to do this with the
>full understanding that if they wreck something they will have to rebuild
>the machines and start again.
>
>As the staff sponsor, Gurukam is willing to take some training and take
>ownership of the project. We would also train at least one other student
>on maintenance issues. Essentially, the athena machines are rarely used
>and it is there feeling that even base winathena machines (i.e. what we
>can provide them without them doing any customizations) is better than
>what they have.
>
>I am willing to setup their 3 machines and do the training when I
>return. Please let me know of the group's decision on this so I can get
>back to them when I return.
