[[!meta title="Projects and Services"]] Consider [[getting involved|join]] in one of these projects. ## scripts.mit.edu [scripts.mit.edu](http://scripts.mit.edu/) is a Linux/Apache web hosting platform for the MIT community. Any Athena user or group locker can host dynamic web applications written in PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, or any other language, or automatically install popular blog, wiki, and other software via the quick-start autoinstallers. ## linux.mit.edu [Linerva](http://linerva.mit.edu), aka linux.mit.edu, is SIPB's Linux shell server for all MIT users. Linerva is fast, runs popular Linux software, and allows long-lasting login sessions. ## Debathena [Debathena](http://debathena.mit.edu) brings the full functionality of Athena to your Debian or Ubuntu system. Install Athena wholesale or in small pieces—a few client utilities, or a full system with Athena-account logins and AFS home directories. You can even run software like Matlab or Mathematica straight from Athena lockers. Debathena is also the basis for the official [Athena 10](http://athena10.mit.edu) due to replace Athena 9 in 2009. ## XVM [XVM](http://xvm.mit.edu) offers virtual machines to the MIT community—complete systems which you control and maintain from the operating system up. Create a new machine with the click of a button. Start with our three-minute Debian or Ubuntu installer, or install an operating system of your choice. ## Library Access to Music Project (LAMP) [LAMP](http://lamp.mit.edu) is an electronic music library for the MIT community. Request songs from a selection of 1840 CDs at [lamp.mit.edu](http://lamp.mit.edu/) and tune in on MIT cable TV to hear your music play. ## The SIPB AFS Cell and Locker Software SIPB maintains hundreds of useful [[programs in AFS lockers|projects/lockers]] for use on Athena. Many popular programs are in the sipb and outland lockers, and even more have their own lockers in SIPB AFS. SIPB's whichlocker program, located in outland, makes locker software easy to find. (add outland; whichlocker whichlocker) The [[SIPB AFS-Moira synchronizer|projects/sipb-afs-sync]] can automatically synchronize some AFS groups in the SIPB cell with Moira groups. ## IAP Classes and Cluedumps SIPB organizes dozens of intensive [classes](http://sipb.mit.edu/iap) on computing topics during IAP. During the fall term SIPB also offers a series of [Cluedump](http://cluedumps.mit.edu) talks, with a different topic each week. Add yourself to cluedump-announce@mit.edu if you're interested. ## Ask SIPB SIPB publishes [Ask SIPB](http://www.mit.edu/~asksipb/), a regular column in The Tech explaining technical tools useful on Athena and at MIT generally. ## Mailman-ACL First steps towards improving compatibility of Mailman and Moira mailing list systems: enabling mutual access controls and building compatible command-line configuration tools for Mailman. Our [[plan|projects/mailman-acl]] to accomplish this is in progress. ## Clockworks [[Clockworks|projects/clockworks]] is the open-source equivalent of Doodle, which allows event organizers to easily poll people about what times are best for them. ## Dodona Dodona is a zephyrbot which uses natural language processing techniques to dynamically understand and answer technical questions. She is still under development, and future additions include a website interface for non-zephyr users. For questions or comments, please email dodona@mit.edu. ## This Website This website is a wiki. There are many [[things that can be improved|projects/www]], both on the content level and on the programming level. ## Your Project Here SIPB has the resources and the expert advice to make your project to improve computing at MIT (better, the world) happen! Come by [[our office at W20-557|office]] and say hello.
