Stateless Debian Project
Hi,
We have just initiated Stateless Debian Project and we are looking for
active volunteers/developers
Detail of project are given below
Summary
This project was started by Fedora (Redhat) but is no longer in active
development and will not be included in next release of fc4 , this
projects aims to provide longterm commitment to the concept & port it to
100% community based distro like Debian
Stateless Linux converts normal Linux desktop/clients to Stateless
machines or appliances, which means if throw your computer out of window
you still will be able to get exactly same same settings/data when you log
from any other pc in the network ....A single administrator can easily
manage network thousands of desktops ...Stateless Linux centralizes the
state in a Gold server (different from CFengine) and rest of clients
are updated regularly from it . This is different from thin clients as
local processing power and memory of clients is used (or cached client)

Project Goals
1) Port relevant parts of RH State Linux (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/stateless/) to Debian
2)Extend/integrate/enhance Stateless Linux thru existing projects like DBRL
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL
<http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL>
and Debian CCD infrastructure, FAI (Fully Automated Installation,http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/)
3) Add cluster support and node monitoring and autonomic capabilities
4)Meets most of OSDL Desktop Linux specification
5) Long term community based , vendor neutral project
6) Member of "Move 2 Debian" project
7) Latter (2nd phase )Add p2p support for directory support(DHT),
file storage and retrieval(tuples), state transfer (Bittorent) to
elinimate any need of centralized servers/infrastructure and make it
highly scalable (to millions!!)
Right now this project is in pre beta stage and we are preparing
Stateless Linux White paper and started porting portions of RH
Stateless Linux to Debian .
Any Suggestions/Ideas will appreciated :-) ..if anyone is interested from this list then pl let me know
Regards,
Gaurav
