Hi everybody.
My name's Felipe Ortega. I'm Telecommunications
Engineer and Associate Professor in the InfoTec
Department of the Alfonso X El Sabio University at
Madrid, Spain.
I'm currently working in a research project for my
Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the Rey Juan
Carlos University. I would like to analyze and work
towards better solutions for massive distribution of
media contents among a widespread volunteer users
comunity.
I think Wikimedia projects are a very good example of
initiatives that could get advantage from this
research. To start with, I would like to concentrate
in the specific problem of massive distribution of,
let's say, Wikipedia contents. Every volunteer could
contribute with a bit of disk space in order to build
some kind of grid computing infrastructure for
global access to it's contents.
To start with this work, I would be very grateful if
you could send me as much iformation as you can about
the present Wikipedia servers configuration. I've
retrieved a lot of data from
meta.wikimedia.org, and
I've updated the overall system scheme, but I haven't
found anything about important info like, for example,
the SQUID caché configuration content load balancing.
Thanks a lot for your aid.
Regards,
Felipe Ortega.
