Our presentation from Erlang Factory 2009

1. with grid power
comes great responsibility

2. Too many questions,
too little time

3. Mythbusters can't
answer everything,
sadly :(

4. Can't we all be friends?

5. Been there, done that...

28. The Answer Is: 42
What questions should be answered?

29. The RainUp
WorldWide Alliance
“If we all work together, we can make a difference.”

30. Cultivating the
Scientific Mindset

31. Phases

32. Phase 1:
Funding & Hardware

33. Phase 1: Funding & Hardware
• Find sponsors.
• Get companies and universities involved.
• Push out the first version of RainUp Server,
Nodes, RainDrops, and Website.
• Start working on new algorithms.

34. Phase 2:
Solve our first Problem

35. Phase 2: Solve our first Problem
• Hold a public poll to choose the first
problem to solved.
• Solve the chosen problem.
• Start testing RainDrops.

36. Phase 3:
Scale to Infinity

37. Phase 3: Scale to Infinity
• Establish The RainUp WorldWide Alliance.
• Aim for infinite cloud nodes.

38. Can this be done?

39. Seriously,
can this be done?!

40. Thanks for watching.
