eGov-2.0 Stack for Private/Public Clouds #project #2

To be very honest for someone like me writing a blog or even a page is something for which I have have to push myself.I was a bit busy in the last couple of days  deciding the outline for the DSpace tutorial series for the Spoken tutorial ( http://spoken-tutorial.org/wiki/index.php/DSpace ) . I n the meantime I have decided to do some changes in the outline for the eGov-2.0 Stack for Private/Public Clouds whic are follwoing :

1.In the first release their will be LDAP Integration over all services (i.e. same username/password and profile for all services) but their will be no SSO.

2.The first release will concentrate on the application and simple automated installation over the clouds but not on HOW to deploy your OWN cloud infrastructure.

3.The release date will be now january as testing is still left and i messed up with the test cases and I don’t want to come up with a “UNSTABLE” release.In the meantime Debian Squeeze will also become stable and hopefully LDAP bug will be removed. :)

4.The Second release will have a separated search interface for all the data stored in the application [OCR enabled].Also at the same time it will be based on nutch but the backend hopefully will be Solr instead of Lucene .

5.The second release will also concentrate to make the cloud deployment , SSO and at the same I will try to port all the apps to the JVM (php / python apps) and will try if I can use any technique to execute it over the “Google Apps Engine JVM” because if this happen then this will be a great.

6.The license would be simple as I am using a lot of open source applications in it, so must probably it will be :

You can do anything with the code until and unless it comply with all the individual licenses of the products that are included with this. :P 😛

This is the simplest License I can think.

Please give your reviews and suggestion about this .
