+Getting involved in one of our projects is one of the most common ways to [[join]] SIPB. Feel free to look through the list below for a project that looks interesting (or useful to use). You can take a look at the bugtrackers linked to get a sense of what improvements they could use, to help decide what seems interesting to work on. You should probably talk with somebody active in the project before really digging in, though – often people have been batting around designs or know details of the problem that haven't gotten written down. If you don't know who to ask, feel free to ask somebody in our office, zephyr -c sipb, or email <kbd>sipb@mit.edu</kbd> – somebody can point you in the right direction.

## BarnOwl
-[BarnOwl](http://barnowl.mit.edu) is a curses-based IM client with support for Zephyr, AIM, Jabber, and IRC. It is primarily used by the MIT community as a Zephyr client. BarnOwl aims to be easily extensible and customizable through a Perl plugin interface. ([Bugtracker](http://barnowl.mit.edu/query))

## 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. (Bugtrackers: [Trac](https://xvm.scripts.mit.edu/), [Launchpad: XVM](https://bugs.launchpad.net/xvm), [Launchpad: Invirt](https://bugs.launchpad.net/invirt))

+## Hyades
+
+[Hyades](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xy-KL2VRPMPvy6fbDbrDnnZWj9euiwxU4D5gT-pW5eM) is a cluster computing management system that is both scalable and flexible to user needs. Whether a user wants to host their website, run code for a class, or work on a side project, our service will give them a container to fit these tasks. Initially, people who use the service would be those familiar enough with computers to use a VM or container, but the next step to this project would be to create user-friendly tools to allow anyone at MIT to run computationally intensive tasks without having to know how to use AWS. Hyades uses exciting open-source tools like Kubernetes, Envoy, Mesos, and Ceph. We are building our own kernel bypass packet-level load balancer, and a system architecture to bring techniques from top internet companies to MIT.
+
+If you're interested in contributing to Hyades, you can email [sipb-hyades@mit.edu](mailto:sipb-hyades@mit.edu) describing your interest and what part of the system you would like to work on, or come to a SIPB meeting and talk to one of the people working on Hyades! During the school year, we will also most likely be hosting a Hyades hackathon on Saturday in the SIPB office, so feel free to stop by.

+## SIPB DNS
+
+The [SIPB Domain Name Service](http://web.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/zoned/doc/) provides master or slave name service for personal domains of MIT affiliates. With SIPB DNS as a master name server, your domain is generated every hour from a file in your Athena home directory. It can also serve as a slave name server, providing redundancy with existing name servers.
