([Bugtracker](https://debathena.mit.edu/trac/wiki/Linerva)) [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. Please e-mail [xvm@mit.edu](mailto:xvm@mit.edu) for help using XVM. If you'd like to get involved, please email [xvm-team@mit.edu](mailto:xvm-team@mit.edu).

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. + ## Gutenbach [Gutenbach](http://gutenbach.mit.edu/) is a networked music jukebox implementing the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). It allows users to queue or "print" music to a remote set of speakers or "printer". Spawned from the original sipbmp3 (the SIPB office music player), Gutenbach is now a Debian package maintained by SIPB members. Please email [gutenbach@mit.edu](mailto:gutenbach@mit.edu) with questions, comments, or suggestions. ([Bugtracker](http://gutenbach.mit.edu/query)) -- 2.44.0
