Hello Edgar - Scientific WG checking in.
Blair Bethwaite and I have been co-chairs since the group’s formal inauguration at the Austin summit. A brief summary of where we are: * We had about a hundred people present at the Austin session for the WG. The summit etherpad [1] shows how the WG brings together a wide group of institutions. The discussions were all too brief but the social connections made have flourished. * There is plenty of outreach to the scientific computing community, including various events planned for the Supercomputing conference in November: - In large part due to Bill Boas and other WG members, there will be a panel session on OpenStack. - Thanks to Jon Mills and other WG members a BOF session application is undergoing preparation. - WG members from institutions with booths have also offered to host OpenStack content at the show. - WG members are assisting the Foundation with a white paper on OpenStack and HPC. * WG members have also been very active in the HPC / Research speaker track at the summits. * The WG has a wiki page[2] and a page under construction listing scientific/research OpenStack clouds. * We meet weekly on IRC[3]. The focus of discussion tends to be on knowledge sharing rather than co-ordination of work, and this seems to work well for our members. I don’t think we have specific plans for the Barcelona summit at this point - other than that we are looking forward to participating.
