VOVO is a server-client architecture to determine current abuild load on devel-network machines. The goal is to trigger machines on and off depending on build power. It is an attempt to reduce power consumption.

Current status:

• written in python
• VOVO client
  • provides current load
  • almost done
• VOVO server
  • runs as a daemon
  • calculates overall abuild load and triggers machines on/off via Orthos
  • Email notification

Ideas:

• trying to be as much flexible and independent as possible ("standalone" - no Orthos mandatory)
• using Bottle framework to interact with daemon
• using a lightweight database
• graphical score
• TDD?
• move project to github
• ...
