>From what i have read, Matt Olander and Brooks Davis are the foremost experts at cluster building on FreeBSD. However i believe a document needs to be written explaining in detailed steps how to do it, so the common user can do it. Obviously not every "common" man needs a cluster. 

In my case i am pitching the project of a big cluster to our University here in Honduras to run some kinds of apps we have, like a Trade Exchange Market Simulation written in Python we have about two years developing which we plan to run distributed across the cluster.


Since I cannot attend that seminar, i will be expecting for at least the presentation to be posted.
