- The meeting platform is Microsoft Teams. Non-NASA guests can join meetings and use the chat. You will need to wait in the lobby until you are admitted by the meeting moderators.
- The software necessary for the tutorials (such as the Fermitools) are distributed in the FermiBottle Docker Container, a fully-functional, self-contained analysis environment. Please go through the Summer School Checklist to make sure the container is functioning correctly.
- Slido will be used for polling and questions. There will be a code for each lecture and tutorial session.
- Primary announcements will be sent out via an e-mail list.
- Secondary announcements, interaction between sessions. instructor-student, and student-student communication will be handled via Slack. Instructions on joining the Summer School Slack will be sent to attendees by e-mail.
- This confluence page will be the home for the schedule as well as the presentation and supporting materials.
...
- There are a number of video tutorials for Fermi data analysis already available. You can also find tutorials posted on the SSC web page Data Analysis area.
Interesting repositories for Fermi analysis
