GeantV User Meeting Preparation

19 Oct 2016, 11:00 → 24 Oct 2016, 20:35 Europe/Zurich

Practice talks for next week's "HEP software community meeting on GeantV R&D"  That meeting's context and charge 

NOTE:

• Please upload to Indico your slides in PDF format (at least.)
• Please also upload your talk to Google Slides. You will need a Powerpoint version of your slides. This enables colleagues to leave comments & feedback directly on the relevant slide, and you can then 'resolve' it to dismiss it !

The goal is a quicker feedback session, restricted to the most important issues or ones which could need or trigger discussion. ( So all fixes / typos, or simple improvements can be left only as comments). Examples: a screenshot of comments and a presentation in Google Slides. 

Recall that we created the draft skeleton of the talks at titanpad where you can also find the charge of the committee.
