5. HEP at GKS in 2007 and future Ideas, suggestions are highly welcome!
HEP is GKS’ largest community
In 2007:
Two hands-on courses for HEP users (gLite Usage, PROOF)
Three hands-on courses for HEP grid administrators (virtualization, gLite Installation, dCache installation); (PROOF and dCache in top 3 of ratings for courses)
Grid Security Workshop mostly attended by HEP grid admins
HEP should play an even more important part in GKS 2008
suggestion:
One track for HEP users with input (including hands-on for LHC experiement-specific analysis on the grid)
One track for (HEP) grid admins
Possible date: October 6 to 10, 2008
Ideas, suggestions are highly welcome!
