Other communication channels?

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:09:14 Z

Dear colleagues,

Our forums are not exactly overloaded with activity, so I'd like to ask everybody: what do you think about establishing other communication channels, such as a discussion mailing list or a newsletter? In both cases you subscribe to a mailing list. But in case of a newsletter, we (Windows Academic Program) send all the subscribers messages with the news, while in the case of a discussion list every subscriber can post a message. In other words, the discussion list works like a forum, but it all happens in your mail box. Let's discuss this.

And another question: would you like us to post here information about Windows Academic workshops we conduct now and then around the world? Would you like to have pre-announcements ("such-and such workshop will take place then and there")? Would you like us to post and discuss "trip reports"?

Thanks,
Serge

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:00:34 Z

Q: Do you have any guidelines on posting to the forum?

A: Here are a few suggestions to make sure you get the best answer to your question as quickly as possible:

· Search for the keywords of your question in the WAP forums before posting – it's likely someone may have already answered your question, and you won't have to wait for it to be answered again.

· Post in the correct WAP forum (there are 3: Curriculum, Windows Research Kernel, and ProjectOZ) – this will ensure subject matter experts who may not read all of the forums will see your question.

· Make sure your title summarizes the specific problem or question you have – since we try to answer the maximum number of questions we can with our time, we often skim through question subjects to quickly find the ones that we know the answers to. A question with a title of "Urgent! Help needed!" is less likely to be answered as a question with a title of "Help needed with thread scheduler priority levels." A more specific, detailed title is far more likely to get a response than a general one.

· Once you've received a correct answer to your question, either from a Microsoft employee, an MVP, or the community in general, please mark the post as answered. You can do this with the "Mark as answer" button that appears on the post containing your answer. This step is important, since it lets us know that your question has been answered. It also lets people scanning the forums know that they can find an answer to that question by reading the thread.

Q: What is ProjectOZ?

A: ProjectOZ is an alternative to Unix-based simulators for exploring operating system principles. Based on the SPACE OS research at UC Santa Barbara, ProjectOZ builds simple, clean user-mode abstractions for the CPU, MMU, trap mechanism, and physical memory using the native NT layer of Windows, and then layers on top a simplified kernel-based OS which students can modify to perform experiments. Because there is an actual OS underneath handling the hardware details as opposed to a simulator, students have more time to explore kernels at the algorithm and data structure level. ProjectOZ supports experiments with multiprocessors and multicomputers on a student's single uniprocessor PC.

Q: How do I get ProjectOZ?

A: ProjectOZ is currently available for download at no cost at http://www.facultyresourcecenter.com/curriculum/pfv.aspx?ID=6547

Q: What license is used for ProjectOZ?

A. The ProjectOZ license is very simple. It allows for non-commercial use such as teaching, research and personal experimentation and permits modifications and redistribution for academic purposes, including publishing on Web sites and community forums. For more information, please read the ProjectOZ license at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/licensingbasics/projectoz/educational.mspx

Q. What is the advantage to having the WRK sources along with ProjectOZ?

A. There are several approaches to doing projects when teaching operating systems. Some schools build a small OS from scratch. Others study an existing operating system and make modifications. The most common approach is to use a simplified experimental environment. The kernel sources are useful for faculty who want their students to do experiments with an existing OS. ProjectOZ is a simplified experimental environment that runs on Windows.

ProjectOZ is based on the native NTAPI, for which there isn't a lot of published documentation outside the source code itself. Though ProjectOZ can be used without the WRK, it is easier for faculty and students to modify the inner most code for ProjectOZ if they have the WRK available for reference.

Q: I’ve found bugs in ProjectOZ, how do I notify Microsoft?

A: Please report any bugs to compsci@microsoft.com. We will do our best to address the issue in the next revision of the source code and will post update announcements to the forum.

This forum is moving the week of 1/27/2009

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 13:39:35 Z

Microsoft has created a new forums platform (MSDN | TechNet | Expression | Microsoft) with increased performance, stability, and an improved user experience. During the week of 1/27/2009 this forum will move from the Forums 2.x Platform (http://forums.microsoft.com/) to the Forums 3.x Platform. To make sure this is a smooth transition, we want everyone using this forum to have a chance to try out the new forums in advance, and give feedback. We’ve created a Sandbox forum, where you can create threads and try out functionality, and a suggestions forum where you can give us your feedback. Please take some time to go to the new forums today and let us know what you think.

On the day the forum moves to the new platform, a post will be made letting you know the process has been started, and the forum will be locked to new posts. Once the process is complete, a final post to the forum will be made letting you know the forum has moved.

1. All posts in the forum will be preserved

2. Any points you’ve received for replies will move with you (on a per forum basis)

3. Any bookmarks to this forum or threads within this forum will redirect to their new location

4. Your “My Threads” will be preserved on the new platform

The only thing you’ll need to do after migration is set Windows Live Alerts for any threads you were tracking.

If you have feedback, let us know in the suggestions forum or contact the forum product planners directly at Andrew.Brenner at Microsoft.com or Jeremy.Kelley at Microsoft.com

Thanks,

Compiling ProjectOZ

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:39:02 Z

Hi, on the Windows Academic Site I just found the ProjectOZ-preview download, and it's source only. What compiler/toolchain do I need to build the software? This is like a newbie question, but I'm used to *nix systems where this is usually easier to do.

Regards,

How to use ProjectOZ

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 08:38:28 Z

I read the projectOZ readme file. And read FAQ on the forum.

I build the SPACE and the BasicOZ.

I can run SPACE and see some output on command line.

I also read some code of SPACE and BasicOZ.

And there are only 3 files in BasicOZ contain source code.

But i do not know what can i do if i want to study OS by BasicOZ?

How to do something?

Are there some documents about this?

Who can tell me?

thanks~

How to make Windows Popular among people from academia

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 15:24:25 Z

Answer is simple.. One should work on a small patch application(like cygwin) so that one can use Linux based application in windows more friendly than ever. Why Apple is popular among academicians? do you think it is their safari or ipod? not at all all... it is OS X. Why google is popular among academicians? do you think it is their adsense or else? no it is their search engine that contian everything a person working in academia. Atleast this is what i think.. Well today Steve was quoting that we are only four year old compare to 12 year old giants! it is surprising, you need not to be one year old, you are already giant and know everything about futuristic technology. am I right.
