Contest For a Better Open-WRT Wireless Router GUI
Reader RoundSparrow sends word of a contest, with big cash prizes, being mounted by a commercial vender of open source Open-WRT routers. You have 10 months to come up with "the most impressive User Interface/Firmware for Ubiquiti's newly released open-source embedded wireless platform, the RouterStation." Entries are required to have open source licensing and will all be released. First prize is $160,000, with four runners-up receiving $10,000. RoundSparrow adds: "Could be built on top of existing X-WRT or LuCI OpenWRT web interfaces. OpenWRT Kamikaze 8.09 was just released. Now is perfect timing for OpenWRT to get some kick-ass interface and usability ideas. I'm not affiliated with the contest vendor."
hmm, Crysis with 60 fps on a Beowulf cluster of OpenWRT routers?
[bye karma, I will miss you :)]
interesting contest, but I searched and couldn't find an answer to my biggest questions:
does it run linux?
are there any requirements to use it in a beowulf configuration?
any requirement to be resistant to, and remain working, after having hot grits dumped on it?
should it support QoS by streaming naked photos of natalie portman at top priority?
This is not "pimp my router".
Yo Dawg! I heard you liked security, so I put a WPA2 in your WRT so you can feel safe whenever you browse porn!

Can it be Flash based? I've got some cool ideas involving fancy animated text effects and transitions that would be really useful for a router interface.
