Since the first public release in 2001, there have been well over 200,000
downloads of the Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR) software
stack. OSCAR is a self-extracting cluster configuration, installation,
maintenance, and operation suite consisting of "best known practices" for
cluster computing. OSCAR has been used on highly ranking clusters in the
TOP500 list and is available in both a freely downloadable version as well
as commercially supported instantiations. The OSCAR team is comprised of an
international group of developers from research laboratories, universities,
and industry cooperating in the open source effort. As it has for the past six
years at SuperComputing, the OSCAR BoF will be a focal point for the OSCAR
community at SuperComputing (SC08), where both developers and users may gather to discuss the "current state" as well as future directions for the OSCAR software stack. New and potential users and developers are welcome.
