after the good experience wit the 'cofunding' project for the Vista support, we started a third one:
a module for opsi via WAN / VPN
With this module you will be able to:
- deploy software to opsi clients that are conncted via slow WAN and/or via VPN
- install small packages (e g. a hotfix) on the fly
- install large packages (e.g. office) by at first downloading the packet. This download runs in the background, uses only part of the available bandwith and may be interrupted. After the download is complete, the installation starts from the 'local repository'.
We will sell these development costs in chunks of 2 000 Euros.
The development should be completed at early May.
Until the funding is complete, this software is only available for the 'cooperative funders'.
After that, this software will be released as open source.
At the moment (February 2009) we've got 2 000 Euros, which is about 8 % of the funding.
We hope that we could interest you in joining this project.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask us here at the free support forum or at info@uib.de
