Winter 2010 Posters/Koji Builder
Title
Koji Builder by: David Cabral (dpcabra1@learn.senecac.on.ca)
Introduction
The goal was to create machines/builders to work with the Koji Hub to build and test rpm packages on the ARM (armv5tel) architecture. Setting up the builders isn't hard once the hub has been properly configured and certifications have been correctly created. We used nine virtual machines and one actual ARM machine to familiarize the steps involved in getting a builder to work with a Koji Hub.
Guidelines
- Posters must be created using one of the templates below in PowerPoint or Impress format (these are the standard formats printers request):
- Your poster is meant to be viewed, not read like a printed sheet. Design it to be read from a distance of 2 m, to capture the reader's attention, and to convey a basic understanding of your project in 90 seconds or less. Remember that while you may use the poster to explain your project, it will also be viewed when you are not standing in front of it, and it must be self-explaining.
- The page size is 35"x48" with a 1" unprintable area around the outside edge
- Design your poster to be read from a distance of 2 metres.
- Use these text sizes and styles:
- 18 point text for small print such as references/links.
- 24 point for the body text.
- 48 point bold text for section headlines.
- 96 point bold text for the poster title.
- 96 point italic text for the poster author name(s).
- Incorporate at least two diagrams, screenshots, photos, or drawings. These should be bold, colourful, high-resolution, and not contain small print. Lines in diagrams should be a minimum of 1 mm thick, text should be equal to or greater than 18 point text. The width plus height of each diagram added together must be at least 40 cm / 16" (for most diagrams, the smallest dimension -- width or height -- should be at least 20 cm / 8").
- Include the following information on your poster:
- Your project's title - top middle section
- Your name - below the project title
- A description of your work including goals you had - left main section
- A section on results, showing what you accomplished - middle section
- A summary and set of conclusions - bottom of middle section
- Acknowledgements and links - right main section
- Leave the upper-right and upper-left corners free for logos
Deadline
- Your poster must be submitted to your professor by 2010-04-16 in order to leave sufficient time for printing. It would be a good idea to submit it early and get feedback from your prof in case revisions are necessary.
Presentation Day
Please plan to join us for the entire afternoon on April 23 in T1014 in case there are questions about your poster. The event starts at 1:30; please plan to be there by 1:00 pm. If you have other exams, discuss the exam schedule with your professor in advance. Dress appropriately for speaking to the audience, which will include industry partners, funding agencies, and Seneca administration.
