We want to enable non-technical people to install operating systems and applications (in possibly complex and interdependent configurations) to computers that have blank or�format-able�hard drives.
The computers may be configured to be centrally managed over the network for ongoing support and maintenance.�This could happen from a smart phone or usb stick...�
On the technical side I've be trying to get Virtualbox booting the infrastructure from Ubuntu and after that it won't be long until it's selfhosted starting from Windows, OSX, or Linux.
This would allow people from many different experience levels and backgrounds to participate in sharing solutions.
It's possible to target raw hardware in addition to cross platform�virtualization�which we can script/automate via�ruby.
We can automatically�provision�them via�chef-solo�with�vagrant.
We want to test the hardware and virtually deployed systems using�test cookbooks.
This is the�ticket�I'm working on today, take a peek if your interested.
We'd love to present at Software Freedom Day in Hamilton and gain feedback from the community on how to incorporate more people into the process and make it a tool everyone can use.
I tried to add us to the presenters page, but I was only able to add a comment. I see three�time-slots�remaining, could we have one?
Cheers,
