Project

Hi guys, i know we should have done this earlier, but i suppose better late than never. Its a gantt chart i have created, Lee will be adding to it later on and we'll be filling it in as we go along. This will allow us to follow some deadlines for getting work done. I saw some rough documentation Terrence has done, it looks good, the topics he has started on so far even though they may need some touching up are the following:

What is a cluster?
How a Cluster Works?
Cluster Requirments
Types of clusters
Why we chose a high availability cluster

I do know there is still a few topics that still need to be covered as far as documentation is concerned. We would appreciate the networking guys if they think of any topics to let us know and maybe even write up about that topic. We will be working together with the documentation to ensure that it comes out exaclty how we want it, after all 5 heads are better than 1.

I am also wanting to get someone on starting to create the presentation. time is running out and would like to have everything ready at least 2weeks before the deadline so we have some time for touching up and practice.
The cluster does not look like it is going to be able to run the game virtually which is a bit dissapointing but as Brett said the other day, its a project managment class and not a project class. We need to have the documentation and presentation of our stuff done even if the cluster wont manage to run the game.
We will also be creating a network diagram of how the proposed network would look and where the servers would be. It would be great if Lee and Matt could create a network diagram in viso to show the servers they have created and were they would be placed in the network. The diagram is going to be a bit complex so we will have multiple diagrams to show all the different angles.
Thats enough of a novel for now. Hopefully this term we can pull this off.
