  • Several other people have been using the free version as well and find it useful
  • Will get a set of 6 licenses

EPSCI group disk, wiki

• We now have a group disk space setup under /group/epsci. It has a modest amount of space at the moment, but it is snapshotted and ready for use.
• May wish to have some directory in /group/epsci be we accessible so we can publish certain files
• Wiki is now up and available (this may have happened since the meeting last week. I can't recall).

DNP Workshop

• Received invitation to give talk on "Machine Learning for Improving Data Analysis and Performance of Experiments" at the DNP meeting at LSU at the end of Oct.
• Update: Asked Gagik if he was interested and then forwarded his name to organizers

HEP SF Talk

• We were asked to give a talk on the threading model used by JANA2 at the HEP SF group on frameworks this Wed.
• David and Nathan will attend. David will give the talk
• A place needs to be made on the EPSCI wiki to gather links to these types of talks that we give
