Project Name

FUNC

Project Description

Basically FUNC is used for broadcasting commands over a number of computers in a network.

A lot of programs, systems, and tools need some way to communicate. Func provides a two-way authenticated system for generically doing these sort of things. You can build your own applications on top of it, and easily expand func by adding in additional modules, whether you want these to work through the func command line or by means of some other application. If you just want to use the func command line, that's great. If you want to build apps on the func tools, that's great too. If this sounds generically vague, it's only because it really is that expandable. some more info about FUNC can be found at: https://fedorahosted.org/func/ Initial contacts: []

Project Plan

Goals for each release:

  • 0.1 General FUNC knowledge and test install on one host and broadcast to two client
  • 0.2 start FUNC on the ARM machines with one host, one client
  • 0.3 get working on the rest of the ARM network

Resources (people, equipmment, info)

We are using the cdot computers and ARM machines at Seneca@york.

What we Need to Learn
