Dear Colleagues from Research / Infrastructures,
The SPECTRUM project [1] and the JENA Computing Initiative [2] are conducting a survey to gather insights on current best practice and expected future evolutions in the domain of large scale / data intensive scientific computing.
The survey is directed at researchers, managers of scientific initiatives and infrastructure managers, either on individual or institutional bases.
Our goal is to collect from the community insights on current best practice and expected future evolutions in the domain of large scale / data intensive scientific computing. This is important also for you, if you want to inform policy makers and funders about the needs from science and infrastructures and push in the direction of future interoperability.
Please consider filling this in and also helping to disseminate it to your colleagues.
The survey is differentiated - filling in the Software and Training part (of most interest to HSF) should only take 10-15 minutes.
The next WLCG/HSF meeting will be hosted by IJCLab in Orsay next May 5-9 (thank you Michel!).
We will need people for the organising team - please say if you are interested.
Topics of mutual interest with WLCG are favoured, but there will also be HSF dedicated sessions.
The European Particle Physics Strategy Update will be next year:
We think it is a very good idea to have an input from the HSF on the software that we need for the future and how we achieve it.
This would be a mini-update of the CWP from 2007.
We believe that input coordinated by our working groups will be critical to doing this, especially from the critical areas of event generation, simulation, reconstruction and analysis; however, we should not at all forget the people dimension, so training and careers are vital to cover.
Eduardo circulated the link to the LHCC presentation via the Architects’ Forum meeting.
The draft slides are available.
We need to progress on organising the Seminar Series for the Autumn. Likely we could have 3 meetings this year at the start of October, November and December? (for September it’s rather late now).
A few Steering Group members have offered to coordinate the organisation: Benedikt, Michel, Andrea(?)
Suggestions for topics are really needed!
There was a Steering Group meeting on 26 August and the minutes are available on the website.
PyHEP.dev is presently happening in Aachen, 26 Aug - 30 Aug. This event is great for developers to talk to each other and exchange knowledge on interoperability of packages.
Next meeting October 2 at 4:30 pm Geneva time
Due to a change in CodiMD access policy (limited number of editors for the free access), we moved the live notes to CERNBox
There is an issue in GitHub to gather ideas about reorganising and revamping the website to better reflect our areas of actual activity. Please contact Mark and Graeme if you would like to help.
The link checker is fixed: https://github.com/HSF/hsf.github.io/pull/1574!
Next meeting will be 12 September.
Reminder: please sign up for chairing this or one of the future coordination meetings - we need volunteers from now until the end of the year!
