Hello everyone!!

First of all i will to congratulate the whole team which has been working on 
the project.
The team has done a tremendous work and made Saint proud of them. 

Its good to find that students are interested in the working of Saint.It has 
been rightly pointed out  that Saint has been mainly concentrating on 
organising Infox.Though a lot of efforts have been made in other directions too 
but unfortunately not much could be done. There is a lot of room for 
improvement. Everyone needs to put in  their efforts for organising various 
technical events as well as infox. 

I am sure the next organising committee will make sure that no one gets a 
chance to point out these issues in future.All the best to the members of Saint.

hi..

as some of you might be knowing that a project from UIRC was given to SAInT in 
2006. The project was regarding setting up of a Server in the campus library to 
handle and publish the various research work done in the University. All this 
was required to be done using an Open Source s/w --- DSpace.

for more info on what DSpace is. visit:
http://www.dspace.org

Although a semi-production server was deployed last yr in june-july 2007. But 
since then some problems have been occuring in the server, and a newer version 
of DSpace has been launched.

Work on upgrading the server to the latest version and resolving the issues, 
has started.

For those, who have no idea on what DSpace uses, here is a list:
1. Apache Tomcat (a web servlet container)
2. Apache Httpd (as a shadow server that'll forward requests to tomcat)

3. Apache ANT (a GNU Make like utility, for compiling several files)
4. PostgreSQL (an open source ORDBMS)

If anyone wants to see when and how we got this project, check these 
mailing-list archives.

Another project from UIRC, is in the pipeline. We are planning to conduct a 
small meeting in August regarding the same. i hope this time we get some 
positive response from the newer batches, as since its inception SAInT has been 
doing nothing but organizing InfoX, & that too in a rather clumsy manner.

PS: this is my own point-of-view, & doesn't reflect in any way that of the 
whole of SAInT.
