Progress of Scientific Linux over the past 6 months. What we are currently working on. What we see in the future for Scientific Linux.
Also we will have a Plenary discussion to get feedback to and input for the Scientific Linux developers from the HEPiX community. This may influence upcoming decisions e.g. on distribution lifecycles, and packages added to the distribution.
