Sowarna — New Project

We are announcing the launch of a new project under the h4ck3rz umbrella — Sowarna (means: our photos in arabic) –

Sowarna is a distributed photo storage system that intends to replace any desktop photo organization software by a distributed server/client photo storage system. The system should be super fast and highly scalable over multiple storage nodes in several locations with redundancy and high availability features.

We started the project and the project is going to be written in python with the probability of having some parts written in ‘C’ for maximum performance and efficiency.

We have started a google code project http://code.google.com/p/sowarna and we are waiting for your contribution, we have plans to have sowarna integrated with SCMP using the external API of SCMP.

you can start contacting us on the google group sowarna-devel for development questions and suggestions.
