HSF Joint Workshop with WLCG and HSF Evolution

(Impressions from Graeme - please feel free to add your own)

Overall we felt this was a successful workshop - ~40 people in the room for the software sessions, plus 10-20 on Zoom. A lot of interesting talks and good discussions.

The opening plenary talk on HSF retrospective and future seemed well received.

The session on HSF Evolution went pretty well - generally comments were constructive (even when partially critical). See live notes for a summary of the discussion.

Training session had lots of great talks and a good spirit of collaboration. One of our most appreciated activities!

For discussion of follow-ups see the closing slides that Eduardo presented.

Graeme and Leif will have a chat with Michelangelo to try and understand the evolving efforts here, supported by the LPCC.

Steve: trying to resurrect “apprentice” as a successor to “professor”; good to see that HDF5 version of LHE files is more prominent (LHEH5, see talk by Chris at the workshop).
