New Student Guide

The following is a guide for new students to get started on the New DBMS project (formerly known as Peloton).

Administrative

If you are a CMU student that is working with our research group, then please complete the following tasks:

1. Ask Andy to add you to the peloton-dev mailing list. This will also subscribe you to the db-seminar mailing list for CMU-DB events.

2. Ask Andy to add you to CMU-DB Slack channel. There are three channels relevant to the project:

   • #general -- The main discussion for the project. Post all development related questions here.
   • #random -- This for random DB / CS / CMU stuff.

3. If you need access to the team's testing and development machines, ask Matt Butrovich to create you an account.

4. If you want a seat in the 9th floor lab (GHC 9022), please email Jessica Packer (CC Andy) to get a key. Please note that we have a limited number of seats in the lab so not everyone can get a spot. Important: Be sure to return the key before you leave CMU.
