      • Reach out to smaller groups (posters worked?)

      • Make sure this is targeted at the right people (beginners)

    • Registration

      • Allow people on the previous waiting list to get priority (or do they now know this stuff?)

      • Graeme will ask Pere if SFT can fund the coffee (or charge 10CHF for registration)

      • Borrow LHCb’s coffee machines?

    • Lacked tutors to help - need to get more people

    Alpaka Parallel Programming - Taster Session and Basic Tutorial

    • Co-organised with openlab

    • Later sessions for expert groups, we have 3 groups confirmed: SFT team for simulation, CMS with Patatrack, ATLAS with Acts tracking

      • 2 slots offered to LHCb, ALICE - not sure if they will use them

    General Issues and Planning

    • Contact Sudhir’s student to get new events into HSF lists (and remind people how to do it -> perhaps put instructions on the web)

      • Graeme to look at this

    • Graeme was asked to join the scientific organising team for ESCAPE summer school at LAAP in Annecy, June 2020

      • Generic topics can be shared with Dark Matter and Astroparticle communities

      • Not sure if they will cover C++ again
