http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1079439 Bug ID: 1079439 Summary: New area for ARCES Inter-Department Research Center Bologna Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: OBS Request Assignee: mrueckert@suse.com Reporter: marco.giusti@posteo.de QA Contact: adrian@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- We first reached OBS at ARCES[1] after the demand of porting our application, Virtualbricks[2], to SLE 12. Even without any experience with SUSE or RPM, OBS allowed us to easily create the needed packages and to deliver the software to our partners. Convinced of the benefits of OBS we want to exploit it more. Following the advice from adrianS_ in #opensuse-buildservice here I ask for a dedicated space that could be recognized as connected to us, ideally with arces.unibo.it in the name. Here[3] you can see the results of my attempts made with my account. For a confirmation of the officiality* of my request you can contact Carlo Caini[4], Associate Professor at ARCES, who directed the development of Virtualbricks the last years. A few words about Virtualbricks and how it is exploited by ARCES. Virtualbricks is a frontend for the management of Qemu Virtual Machines (VMs) and VDE virtualized network devices (switches, channel emulators, etc.). Although it can be used to manage isolated VMs, its peculiar aim is to design and manage testbeds consisting of many VMs interconnected by VDE elements. In other words, it allows to extend the concept of VM to testbeds, which thanks to Virtualbricks can become entirely software-defined. Among the wide variety of possible applications, we have academic research and teaching on computer networks. In particular, we would like to use this space as main hub to distribute our software to the students of the course Protocols and Architectures for Space Networks, master degrees in TLC and Computer Engineering of the University of Bologna, as well as to our research partners, including some European space agencies (ESA, DLR). Thank you for taking this request in account. Marco * Although this request received the consensus of the Director of ARCES, this space will not be recognized as *official* by the University of Bologna i.e. it will not receive any direct support from University of Bologna outside our own effort to maintain it.
