FYI, please see the announcement below. A short form for the conference URL is
http://indico.fnal.gov/event/osgsw2011
Note that there will be material on preparing and running campus grids,
optimizing and running HPC clusters, high-throughput parallel computing
scheduling using new OSG tools, and we hope to invite a special talk by the
Globus group on using the new Globus Online and Globus Connect tools in
conjunction with campus-based site systems as well. Connections to at least
some of the talks will be available by video for two-way interaction using the
usual ECS, phone and EVO systems and we hope to be able to broadcast all of the
plenary sessions using Adobe Connect as well.
The OSG Summer Workshop will take place at TTU Aug. 9-11, 2011 and as the
announcement says, registration is now open. We have worked hard to reduce the
price of the registration fee to a minimum, so we hope that even in these
difficult financial times people will take advantage of the opportunity to
participate in the Summer Workshop and to interact with their fellow OSG and
campus grid administrators and VO members.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact the conference
organizers by email at the conference support address,

Subject: Registration open for 2011 OSG Summer Workshop and CMS T3 workshop
Dear OSG colleagues,
On August 9 and 10 there will be an OSG site administrators meeting in
Lubbock, TX, hosted by Texas Tech University.
The event will be followed by the CMS Tier 3 meeting on August 10 and 11.
Please register by 8/1 whether you plan to attend one, the other or both.
Here is the registration page:
https://indico.fnal.gov/confRegistrationFormDisplay.py/display?confId=4531
The workshop will be an occasion to learn more, exchange experiences
and get support. The main goals of this meeting are to provide guidance
and support for users interested on running jobs on OSG production and
campus grids and for sites providing these resources.
We will focus on the important changes in OSG software distribution moving
from Pacman to RPM packages providing insights and guidance for the
migration. There will also be sessions on cluster management, security
best practices, network tuning and troubleshooting, installation and
tuning of OSG services (Campus Grids, Glidein WMS VO frontend, Compute
Elements, Storage Elements, GUMS, ...).
And we will cover also job submission and execution, from basic to Glidein
WMS to Campus Grids and HPTC jobs.
All with a very practical and hands-on style and with one-on-one support.
It will be a good opportunity to get your workflow running on OSG
production or Campus Grid or your site up and running or up to date with
the latest OSG release.
