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.

FYI- From Grace Tsai at SLAC Computing:
The current way to access HPSS/astore file family is via our locally developed software running on a Solaris machine, and nobody actually is maintaining this old software. It will be replaced with an HPSS provided package and will run on a RHEL6 host. |
The interface to astore will therefore change (no schedule given yet) so we need to think some more about replacing the Archiver or patching it one more time.
