Re: Full Report: LTSP Hackfest Portland 2008

Hi,

Unfortunately, I was not able to get to Portland for this hackfest 
(Linux Symposium). Nonetheless, I'm very happy to see that things are 
going well.

Packaging for ltsp-cluster is pretty close to finish, and italc support 
is getting better, thanks to Stephane Graber.

There is one student from the University of Sherbrooke that is currently 
working on Firefox to fix the memory issue we have with large images. 
His patch is about to get integrated into firefox 3. Another student did 
a research on pulseaudio to find correct setup for real time voice 
applications, and it's preliminary analysis shows that it's possible to 
get acceptable latencies for such applications, so that's also good news.

Four students from the University of Berziet worked on NBD reconnexion 
issue and performance. Results shows that a thin-client that boots with 
NBD is about 44% faster than with NFS. Protocol is one aspect, but 
unionfs could also explain the speedup. They did a good job to identify 
the related problem to NBD reconnexion, but fix has yet to be done.

Have a nice day,

Francis
