WHERE: CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

The HTCondor team (http://htcondor.org), together with Worldwide LHC 
Computing Grid Deployment Board, plans to offer a two-day workshop the 
8th and 9th of December at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. HTCondor experts 
will also be available at CERN on Dec 10th and 11th for less structured 
one-on-one interaction and problem-solving. This workshop will provide 
lectures and presentations aimed towards both new and experienced 
administrators of HTCondor pools setup to manage local compute 
clusters.  Topics envisioned include pool configuration, management, 
theory of operation, sharing of best practices and experiences, and 
monitoring of individual HTCondor batch pools. Special subjects of  
emphasis may include: scheduling, pool policy selection, performance 
tuning, debugging failures, and previews of upcoming features of 
HTCondor.  Time will be provided for question and answer sessions.  
Attendees should have some knowledge of Linux and network 
administration, but no HTCondor experience will be required.

Details to follow soon in a formal workshop announcement.
