| 43 | | In order to start a new GENI project, the project lead needs to provide some straightforward information. |
| 44 | | * Project name: A brief (up to 16 characters) name for your project, so we can identify it quickly. Including your school name and/or experiment name is helpful. Try to avoid words like "GENI," "project," "test," or "experiment," which don't really help to distinguish among different projects. |
| 45 | | * Contact information for the project lead: so we can reach you with questions, or if something seems amiss. Contact information should be accurate. |
| 46 | | * Basic information about your project: so we can understand how GENI is being used. |
| | 74 | Everyone else should join a project created by a Project Lead. You can ask any of your collaborators that fit the above criteria to create a project for you [#a2a.JoinaGENIProject to join]. |
| 58 | | === New projects === |
| 59 | | 1. The project lead visits the [https://www.pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com/newproject.php3 new GENI project page], and provides the requested information. |
| 60 | | 2. GENI staff review the project request. |
| 61 | | 3. The project lead is notified via email when the new project is created. |
| 62 | | 4. The project lead follows the instructions in the notification email to confirm account creation. |
| 63 | | 5. (Optional) If the project lead has not already had a discussion with the GENI help team, we suggest that he or she contact us at [mailto:help@geni.net]. This step is not required, but experience shows that projects are much more likely to be successful with a little getting-started advice. Really, we don't bite, and we'll try to help. |
| 64 | | 6. Project leads may stop here or advise additional team members to join the project, following the steps below. |

| 77 | | If you're not sure how to proceed from here, you may want to try one of these GENI tools: |
| 78 | | |
| 79 | | '''Flack''' is a graphical user interface for finding and requesting GENI resources. It runs in your browser. |
| 80 | | * Visit the [http://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/Flack Flack page]. |
| 81 | | * Read the [https://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/FlackTutorial Flack tutorial]. |
| 82 | | * Watch these brief !YouTube video tutorials. |
| 83 | | * [http://youtu.be/-XF6wyNu1BE?hd=1 GENI Tutorial: How To Log In To Flack] |
| 84 | | * [http://youtu.be/F5q-AYwggug?hd=1 GENI Tutorial: How to Make a Slice & Reserve Resources] |
| 85 | | |
| 86 | | '''Omni''' is a command-line tool for finding and requesting GENI resources. You download omni and run it on your computer. |
| 87 | | * Find information on obtaining and using omni at the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/HowToUseOmni omni how to]. |
| 88 | | |
| 89 | | Once you are familiar with one of these basic tools, some sample experiments that you may want to try or modify are available at [wiki:GENIExperimenterWelcome]. |
