Re: Thesis about OpenSSI

Hi,

As far as I know the original creators are still alive.

A quick peek into the future for OpenSSI:
- new stable
- packages for newer CentOS / Debian

And "maybe" the following:
- direct IO / ioctl in CFS
- OS virtualization and live migration
- NSA SELinux
- packages for other distro's
- commercial support

And the bigger picture...
- process management hooks
(http://openssi.org/cgi-bin/view?page=proc-hooks.html)
- process checkpointing
- partial process migration
- PetaScale OpenSSI

**All of the above may be revised

Regards,
Roger
