Outline agenda below - there’s been subsequent email discussion to firm up topics, eg Heterogenous resource , managing fairshare, data migration and workflow issues, global/federated scheduling, energy awareness etc
If your institution is a member of HPC-SIG there shouldn’t be any problem with going. I’ll forward the eventbrite invite when out.

> Hi folks,
> As Paul Hatton mentioned, following on from the request at the HPC-SIG meeting earlier in the year - we're planning to hold an HPC-SIG workshop to cover "scheduling" on Wednesday 14th September 2016, at Warwick University - following on from the HPC-SIG quarterly meeting (the previous day, Wednesday 13th Sep) - we're hoping you'll be able to stay on to contribute.
>
> On behalf of the HPC-SIG Steering Committee, I'm managing the workshop, so in preparation, I'd welcome your ideas on what to include?. The output from the workshop would be a paper (e.g. "HPC-SIG Scheduling Challenges, Best Practices and areas of risk/development - Sep 2016") within which we capture "scheduling" challenges, best practices and identify areas of concern/risks and needs for development, within the HPC-SIG community. The exact make-up of the paper would be dependent on the outputs of the workshop.
>
> Please could you respond with - firstly - THEME HEADINGS - for the workshop. I'd like to identify ~4 (four) themes, so we can split up the day. Once we have those themes, I'd welcome volunteers as theme champions (on the day) to act as technical leads for each themes - so that I can capture thoughts/ideas/risks - for the paper.
>
> Once we've identified the THEMES, with the help of the champions - we'll can draw out DISCUSSION POINTS and GOALS for each workshop theme - so we can address the key issues.
>
> I'd like to wrap-up the planning/agenda by 2nd September 2016, having identified the themes, discussions points, goals and volunteers for the theme champions.
>
> I will send out an EVENTBRITE registration address (separate follow-on email) - so I can get an idea of attendee numbers.
>
> As a rough agenda guide, I see the following:
>
> 1. HPC-SIG - INTRODUCTION
