HTCondor workshop autumn 2020 confirmed - as a virtual event
Dear HTCondor community,
we are pleased to announce that the HTCondor workshop will be held from Monday 21 September to Friday 25 September 2020. Mark your agendas!
Due to the current pandemic, the workshop will be held purely virtually. (We thank IJCLab in France for the proposal to host at its Orsay site, formerly known as LAL, and hope to hold a face-to-face workshop there some time soon.)
The workshop will be organised as videoconference and/or Webcast sessions of not more than three hours per day, most probably between 15:00 h and 18:00 h Paris time (13:00 h - 16:00 h UTC, 8 am - 11 am CDT).
The workshop will be an excellent occasion for learning from the sources (the developers!) about HTCondor, exchanging with your colleagues about experiences and plans, and providing your feedback to the experts. The HTCondor Compute Element (CE) will be covered in detail as well. Participation is open to all organisations (including companies) and persons interested in HTCondor (and by no means restricted to particle physics and/or academia!) If you know potentially interested persons, don't hesitate to make them aware of this opportunity.
The workshop will cover both using and administering HTCondor; topics will be chosen to best match participants' interests (see below).
Attendance is free of charge, but requires registration: https://indico.cern.ch/e/htcondor2020
If you consider attending, we would very much like to know about your project, your experience and your plans. Hence you are warmly encouraged to propose a short presentation. Please submit your abstract on the Workshop Web page: https://indico.cern.ch/e/htcondor2020
If you have any questions, please contact hepix-2020condorworkshop-support@hepix.org .
We are looking forward to a rich, productive workshop, and we hope to meet many of you at the virtual workshop!
