The "astroumd" name has several meanings here:
-
The https://github.com/astroumd organization, where department members can place their more public repos (e.g. classes, common software).
-
The name of the astronomy department network (the one in PSC and ATL)
-
A set of scripts to help you integrate your unmanaged laptop (or desktop) in the "astroumd" network and do astro-computing (think printing, ssh(fs), vnc, vpn, etc.). Primarely for POSIX based (Linux and Mac) systems, but may still contain useful tips for those who use Windows.
