Dear TAC-HEP students, I am one of the faculty members on the TAC-HEP team and I am trying to organize the scalable infrastructure portion of the training. There is a very interesting school from the open science grid (OSG) planned for this summer August 7-11 in Madison, WI (please see the announcement below) The deadline for applications is April 17th and requires both a form with a few slightly longer questions and a letter of recommendation for example from your advisor or if you don’t have a suggestion for someone please let me know and I can help. In case it is useful, I have copied the longer questions on this google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ww4ld6pF1GJ7gs1USWOsmjkwVEHhUiceUY1JKqo… <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ww4ld6pF1GJ7gs1USWOsmjkwVEHhUiceUY1JKqo…> I think you all fit in the category of researchers (especially graduate students) for which large-scale computing is a key part of the research process, so hopefully this will be an interesting school for you! Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help with. Thank you in advance!
