Hello EasyBuilders,
I'm happy to announce that we will be organizing the 1st EasyBuild User
Meeting on Wed-Fri Jan 27-29 2016 at HPC-UGent (Ghent, Belgium,
http://www.ugent.be/hpc/en), the birth place of EasyBuild.
This event is purposely planned right before the weekend in which
FOSDEM'16 takes place in Brussels (where we hope to host an HPC devroom
again, like we did at FOSDEM'14 [1]).
The format we have in mind is a bit different from the EasyBuild
hackathons/workshops we have (co-)organized in the past (and will
continue to in the future), in the sense that the EasyBuild User Meeting
is intended for people that are already familiar with EasyBuild, ranging
from occasional users to EasyBuild core developers and experts, and that
topics will be less introductory in nature.
The program will feature presentations by both EasyBuild users and
developers, next to hands-on sessions.
The presentations will cover a wide variety of EasyBuild-related topics,
including how EasyBuild has been integrated into existing
infrastructure, how it can be combined with other tools, (new) EasyBuild
features that are considered particularly useful, or other tools that
are somehow (loosely) related to EasyBuild and could be of interest to
attendees.
The hands-on sessions are intended for becoming more familiar with the
practical aspects of EasyBuild, resolving problems with the help of
others, and/or working together to further enhance EasyBuild.
Participants are expected to decide for themselves what they work on
during the hands-on sessions.
More (preliminary) information is available at
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/1st-EasyBuild-User-Meeting .
Attendance is free of charge, but registration is *required* for
practical purposes via
http://tokyoap2.ugent.be/eventManager/events/FirstEasyBuildUserMeeting .
Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions w.r.t. this event.
Looking forward to meeting you in Ghent!
regards,
Kenneth
