Satish,<BR>
<BR>
No, we are pretty low paperwork sorts of folks. :-)<BR>

Our system hosts at the Corp (Mike Smith and Joel Schlagel) have<BR>
agreed to replace the existing CentOS OS on the 2 cpu system with<BR>
RHEL. You would be provided with ssh access and it would be up<BR>
to you to install SDE and the server product.<BR>
<BR>
Mike / Joel - could you provide Satish with an account and<BR>
connect info as soon as convenient?<BR>

<BR>
The initial datasets have been uploaded in shapefile format. I<BR>
believe there are plans to setup a postgres/postgis instance<BR>
(perhaps Paul will do this on his return?) There is flexibility<BR>
on whether you use either or both (oracle and postgres).<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Per the wiki, the datasets are in /opt/data. They are fairly<BR>
sizable, but if you need to you could pull a copy down. Perhaps<BR>
Andrea will have pointers to somewhere you can grab them via<BR>
http.<BR>

Mike or Joel will provide ssh accounts as soon as practical.<BR>

We are planning another IRC (Internet Relay Chat) meeting next<BR>
week on Wednesday - I'm not sure of the exact time. If you are<BR>
unfamiliar with IRC there is some general information at:<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/IRC">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/IRC</A><BR>
<BR>
the web client at <A HREF="http://irc.telascience.org/">http://irc.telascience.org/</A> should work.<BR>
<BR>
Meetings and other discussions will mostly take place on the mailing<BR>
list though occational impromptu discussions may occur on the #foss4g<BR>
and other channels.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Basically we plan to run a series of WMS queries against the different<BR>
servers using an assortment of bboxes with varying numbers of concurrent<BR>
requests. Andrea Aime did a version of this performance tests between<BR>
MapServer and GeoServer the last two years and we hope to use a similar<BR>
pattern but expanding the coverages and configurations.<BR>
<BR>
I believe we will be using JMeter on the second (1 cpu server) as the<BR>
query engine.<BR>

No problem.<BR>

Excellent<BR>
<BR>
