Hello!
I'm looking for volunteers, who want to take their part in further development of Squeezer - the Squid's log analyzer with main purpose to measure Squid's performance in various relations and to find bottleneck.
The purpose of further development is to add new functionality (e.g. corelation of performance with Squid configuration options, time of the day, week, analyzing parts of logs between given dates and times, adding charts), to integrate Squeezer with other software (e.g. Webmin).
For these purposes I look for:
1) Developers with following skills:
- intermediate Perl programming: ability to process text with regular expressions, ability to deal with big data structures (mainly hash tables),
- good knowledge of HTML, CGI,
- good knowledge of Squid's logs, Squid's configuration and squid.conf's options, Squid behaviour.
- mod_perl, JavaScript and Java programming would be appreciated, but not necessary.
2) Testers with good knowledge of Squid and access to real Squid installations to test Squeezer in real environment, having patience to do regular work and reports.
The project is non-commercial (free). It started in 1999, was used in some scientific research on web caching at Houston University, is used by many organizations, commercial and non-profit. You could find out more looking at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/squidoptimizer/
The potential benefits of participatin in this project are:
- to get an experience in real team software development project,
- to get involved into developing software, which already has been used by many Squid users.
So if you think this project is something you could join, if you want to ask more questions, please, feel free to contact me by e-mail (we could talk via Skype, if you wish).
