Affero's Hack-a-Thon
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/10/1659236

[0]Henri Poole writes "I've got friends who ride their bikes for a week
and get me and others to donate $100 to their cause. Spending more time on lists then roads, we've set up [1]an analogous service for Free Software and Open Source projects. Substitute the physical sweat with a good hack, and you'll see the match. After you save your next newbie from tech-hell, just ask them to help your cause. In [2]Lessig's blog, he writes "If there's one thing I've learned from watching, and tinkering, in this web-log space, it is that the many tiny brushstrokes of thousands paints more and more powerfully than the blast of even the most important and powerful papers...As I indicate on my Affero

And if you don't think you can make a difference, do this math: A $1 donation to the FSF for every user of GNU/Linux would increase [6]their budget by 30 fold."

Can't find what you're looking for?

Warewulf is a unique Linux distribution for cluster nodes. It facilitates a central administration model for all nodes and includes tools needed to build configuration files, monitor, and control the nodes. It is totally customizable and can be adapted to just about any type of cluster. The node distributions are built from a virtual node filesystem residing on the master, transfered to the nodes either by Etherboot or CDROM images, and run from RAM. Administration is scalable and easy. It was originally designed for Beowulf, but can be used in other environments as well.
