Just releasing a.tar.gz is not enough for most users. To ease adoption of your "amazingProjectX" you really need to package it so someone can just yum install X || apt-get install X ect.
While I personally dont mind rpmbuild myself other tools exist like FPM (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm). After that get it into a repo like fedora/epel/etc and your users will love you (maybe...)
Either way, a huge kudos to you. I know I failed IT in high school because I disagreed with java>all and I am excited to see at least one educational institution heading in a much more promising direction.

Where I come from CAB stands for "Change Acceptance Board", they don't get to make dumb decisions...

Since when does a log parser (Splunk much?) get such a lofty title of "Robot". I think perhaps they are mistaking it with their call centre staff!!!
You have a couple of options;
1) Use a container type environment without virtualisation like http://opensource.com/education/12/8/harvard-goes-paas-selinux-sandbox
2) Run your VM's on a RHEL based hyper visor with KVM and get the benefits of sVirt ( http://selinuxproject.org/page/SVirt ) isolation for free via libvirt.
3) Look at something more like OpenShift Origins to do PaaS with mandatory access control.
Either way, a huge kudos to you. I know I failed IT in high school because I disagreed with java>all and I am excited to see at least one educational institution heading in a much more promising direction.

I agree - I have recently put EVE on hold because partly because even factional warfare resorted to blobing, if they can fix that i will return
