Efika 5200B Project
high end printer serverin category Applications & Software
proposed by expose on 18th February 2006 (accepted on 20th March 2006)
Project Summary
A printer server with display, so you can see what is printed when by which person in order to delete certain jobs. This can be helpfull if not everyone who can print is \"serious\" like at schools or similar where even \"404 error\" pages are printed.I would also do general Gentoo and application development, add to the Documentation and provide remote access to the machine for other developers. Local access by arrangement. QA checking, as far as the hardware has free resources. Might be showing it at certain community events, publish articles etc.
Project Blog Entries
Certain routines of the server can be accelerated using a FPGA, also I will add to existing community projects like the Kernel Accelerator Device (KAD) and others.
A graphics card will be needed (onboard or via the PCI-slot) for the display which is planned.
