HSF activities are focused mainly on community led groups that organise around particular domains with the aim of increasing communication between developers, providing a platform for discussion of interesting problems and novel solutions developments, and fostering the adoption of common software between different communities.
Activity areas have multiple conveners (typically three), to help share the workload, and are appointed by the HSF (via an open nomination process and a search committee) to serve for one year, with renewal possible by mutual agreement. We have a guide for conveners about how to organise activities.
We strive for a diverse representation amongst the conveners and a broad representation of experiments.
If you want to put some community-wide activity under the umbrella of the HSF, just contact the HSF Steering Group with your proposal.
Activities are added to the website of the HSF, with description and contact information, and their own Indico category.
The HSF has had a number of activities in the past which are no longer active, but are kept for reference:
