[Condor-users] Condor Week 2012: an opportunity to learn and connect

[Alain Roy <roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Condor Users and Collaborators,

We want to invite you to Condor Week 2012 in beautiful Madison, WI May 1-4. We will again host Condor Week at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, a state of the art facility for academic and private research specifically designed to foster private and public collaboration. It provides Condor Week attendees a compelling environment to attend tutorials and talks from Condor developers and users like you. It also provides many comfortable spaces for one-on-one or small group collaborations throughout the week.

Our latest production release of Condor, version 7.8.0, will be available before the conference. When you attend, you will learn how to take advantage of the latest features such as improved multi-core support, job isolation, IPv6 support, and new dynamic statistics that help you understand what is happening in your Condor pool. You'll also get a peek into new features we're working for the next release--something you can only get at Condor Week!

We will have a variety of in-depth tutorials, talks, and panels where you can not only learn more about Condor, but you can also learn how other people are using and deploying Condor. Best of all you can establish contacts and learn best practices from people in industry, government and academia who are using Condor to solve hard problems, many of which may be similar to those facing you.

Speaking of learning from the community, we'd love to have you give a talk at Condor Week. Talks are 25 minutes long and are a great way share your ideas and get feedback from the community. If you have a compelling use of Condor you'd like to share, let Alain Roy know (roy@xxxxxxxxxxx) and he'll help you out.

You can register, get the hotel details and see the agenda overview on the Condor Week 2012 site. See you soon in Madison!
