[Distributed_systems] nagybeadandó (this Friday, 20:00!)

[Lukács Dániel]

Dear All,

Artúr was kind enough to prepare our courses in BEAD. Everyone can see 
every group to make it easy to handle the student migration effects. 
Please, be careful!

Everyone should use their own group numbers (e.g. Charles is 1, Péter is 
3, etc.). Additionally, I'll take 7 and 8 for the evening labs.


  * If I don't get other directions, I will open the Nagybeadandó for
    everyone tomorrow (April 10) at 20:00, with a deadline of May 3, 23:59.


This way the students will have 3 weeks with 4 full weekends to work on 
it. Then, during week 12 and 13, BEAD opens up again, instructors review 
the solutions, and send back bad solutions for revisions with individual 
time frames of 4 four days. BEAD finally closes on May 16, 23:59. No 
revision can be submitted after that.

I think that's all.

Robi and Tamás, if you can, please check this plan whether you agree, 
and correct it if necessary.

Have a nice weekend!

Dániel
