Dear All,
This is to bring your attention on the next open CernVM Users Workshop which will take place on 6-8 June 2016 in the United
Kingdom, hosted by Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire with help from the STFC Scientific Computing Department
and GridPP UK project.
Following the successful edition held at CERN in March 2015, the workshop aims to bring together users and developers to
discuss the current status of the CernVM ecosystem and the future directions. Particular focus will be given to the integration
with the containers world and how this can improve the experience with the cloud paradigm shift now occurring in HEP computing
centers.
As in the previous edition, the workshop will feature a technology session to give the opportunity to take a fresh look onto the
landscape of technology and the evolution in virtualisation and cloud computing. As a novelty, the third day of the workshop will
be entirely dedicated to ‘hands-on’ sessions.
Whilst the agenda is yet to be finalised, there will be opportunities for demos and tutorials, and for users to come forward with
presentations and/or topics for discussion.
A video-conference service will be also provided to help remote attendance.
The web page of the workshop is available at
https://indico.cern.ch/event/469775 .
The registration is now open!
To help the logistics, we would really appreciate if those intending to attend could register and submit their abstracts before 15 April 2016.
We would also appreciate if you could spread around this announcement to the potentially interested people.
