    1 MONTH EXTENSION FOR ACADEMIC LOGIN

    Hello everybody,

    After many user and institutional requests, we are extending the Academic Login activation period for a month for all ~okeanos alpha users. That is from August 11, 2013 to September 11, 2013.

    It seems that as of today, almost every Greek Academic and Research Institution has enabled support for ~okeanos, so all alpha users should be able to enable the new Academic Login method on their Profile page.

    So, if you want to guarantee your transition to beta, please proceed with enabling Academic Login, now.

    Thank you,
    the ~okeanos team

    INTRODUCING THE NEW "PROJECTS" FEATURE

    Introducing the new "Projects" feature

    Hi all,

    Some of you may have already noticed that a new "Projects" tab has popped up on your Dashboard. Let's see what this is all about.

    Projects such as assignments, exercises and research experiments are quite common in academia. Most of the time, they rely heavily on the computing, network and storage resources at hand; resources that you may not have, or that is difficult to reserve for your colleagues or students.

    Unsuprisingly, for a while now we have been receiving requests such as:
