Open Stack

Dear All,
  As mentioned in the meetup today, NTHU is hosting a openstack platform
called SSCloud (https://www.unicloud.org.tw/services/sscloud).
  We are glad to offer it as a training and testing platform.
  You may find the user manual and hardware spec on the webpage.
  If you need any further information, please feel free to contact me
  or our technical supporting staff "Chen-Hao Ku" (jhku at sslab.cs.nthu.edu.tw
)

  For judging, I also suggest to let the chairs of three tracks to gather a
list of judging criteria in their own area as a guideline for the
competition, while the topic, data, tools and devices can keep open to
inspire more creativity.
  For instance, from the point of "system", we would like to see the
application is built on top of a backend solution with HA, load balance and
elasticity.
  If we have a agreement on this idea, I can give you my concrete list by
the weekend.

Cheers,
Jerry
