• Attendees introduced themselves as it is big spectrum of people
• A bit about attendees role in their respective experiments/labs/
  • Albert Puig Navarro and Dario Berzano (Coordinate StarterKit at LHCb and ALICE)

• Meeting highlights – building a federation of training activities across experiments specific training and non-experiment computing schools

  • Start with putting together a google doc with info on dates of experiment specific/non-specific training activities. Click here(do right click) https://goo.gl/Kwbk73 for google doc.
  • Later have a website to show training schedules and public material - presentations/good software related examples/exercises and best practices/reference material
  • Training material at three tiers
    • Lower - examples - Linux/C++/Python
    • Medium – ROOT/Geant4
    • High – Machine Learning/ GPUs/ Developer level
  • Try to share teachers/lecturers among schools at least on common topics and build a community sense
