Chris Samuel, VLSCI. Avoca. (Almost) the most powerful supercomputer south
of the Tropic of Cancer.
Chris Samuel, senior systems administrator at the Victorian Life Sciences
Initiative, will be introducing Avoca - currently the 33rd most powerful
computer in the world; and housed right here in Melbourne.
Martin Paulo: An introduction to OpenStack
Martin Paulo is a software developer with VeRSI (the Victorian eResearch
Strategic Initiative). Way back when Martin started out writing assembly
for embedded systems. From there, via grid programming, he made the move
to more conventional software development, as a Java developer in the
financial services arena. At VeRSI Martin has worked on and with the
NeCTAR (National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources) research
cloud: possibly the largest and most complex OpenStack deployment in
Australia.
OpenStack
OpenStack is open source software that provides a cloud computing
platform. From its early origins as a small Nasa project, OpenStack is
rapidly gaining broad industry acceptance. Its ongoing development is
guided by the OpenStack Foundation, a foundation backed by many key
technology companies. In this talk Martin will provide an introduction to
the concepts underlying OpenStack, and show how you can get going with
your own personal OpenStack deployment.

Daniel Jitnah's Abstract: eLiveLearn is a (very) long term pet project of
mine! eLiveLearn is FOSS (php/linux/apache) based system designed to be a
complete on learning environment. Unlike many other online learning
systems (Learning Management Systems) such as Moodle, Whiteboard etc which
are content management systems (CMS) with added learning support features,
eLiveLearn was design designed from start to fully support the complete
Learning-Assessment-Reporting process in a fully integrated system.
Educators can create online lessons and assessment tasks, Students can
step through online lessons and carry out assessement tasks. Educators can
then mark and provide feedback on students work and generate live reports.
In this talk, I will look at some design features of eLiveLearn and run
through a very simple usage scenario (hands-on). I will also talk about
work that still needs to be done to make it a fully functional ready to
use system and some problems with the system. Audience comment and
feedback will be most appreciated.
This talk may likely be of interest to Educators at secondary and tertiary
level.
Daniel is an educator and runs his own IT company, Greenware IT. He has
been a committee member of LUV for many years.
