PhantomOS wins in ProCom, Karachi

Last week my team, attended an All Pakistan national software competition, in which our research project, a Grid Operating System based on Linux, won the coveted first prize! ProCom, held by FAST Kararchi was a mega event in a mega city. Karachi is officially the 7th most populous city int he world. However the ranking is based on a census carried out in 1998, currently it may be the largest city in the world. Take a look at this snapshot of Karachi from Google Earth, one can see that it won't be long until some parts of Karachi cross the border into Baluchistan, the neighboring province.
