The software week goal is to facilitate coordination between communication and collaboration between everyone as we move forward with the transition away from DOE funding for Fermi. FSSC members will be available at SLAC all week for group discussions and one-on-one meetings. In addition to targeted topics, we encourage attendees with broad or cross-cutting interests to join the various discussions. There will be plenty of work, so we'll need everyone to take part in this transition.
