See the Data Consortium wiki

24-26.09.2012 - NOBUGS 2012
The aim of the NOBUGS conference series is to foster collaboration between IT professionals working at X-ray and neutron sources around the world. This collaboration should yield better data acquisition and data analysis software for the users of such facilities. This in turn will increase user productivity and thus maximize the scientific result to be obtained from the large investment required to build and maintain X-ray or Neutron facilities. Check out the conference web page for more details ...

22-23.06.2012 - Federated Identity Management
This workshop in the fourth in a series that started in summer 2011 to investigate Federated Identity Management (FIM) for research collaborations. The first workshop was held at CERN in June 2011, the second at RAL in November 2011 and the third at ISGC in February 2012. Through these workshops, several research communities have converged on a common vision for FIM, enumerated a set of requirements and proposed a number of recommendations for ensuring a roadmap for the uptake of FIM is achieved. These points have been documented in a paper for which comments are welcome. An objective of this workshop is to gather feedback from the research communities on the recommendations and roadmap described in the paper with the intention of endorsing the common vision. The organisational and financial aspects of ensuring a common FIM will also be addressed.

13.06.2012 - 3rd PaNdata & CRISP Harmonisation Meeting
The 3rd PaNdata & CRISP Harmonisation Meeting took place at Zurich Airport June 13th. The meeting was attended by 21 participants from 15 different facilties from all over Europe. In addition PaNdata ODI and CRISP participants, representatives from Biostruct-X and Moonshot (Janet) were attending the meeting. The meeting focussed on the implementation of the envisaged federated identity management system, and paving the path towards an operational and management structure to warrant a sustainable process. At the meeting, the participants agreed to establish a management team as well as a technical team with members from each of the participating facilities to guide the implementation phase. A more detailed report will be available soon. Check out the meeting page for more information.

The joint PaNdata ODI and PNI-HDRI workshop at DESY covers a number of topics of common interest, like GPU acceleration for the analysis of specific experiments, MPI i/o, analysis frameworks and data management related services and policies. The main goal is to intensify contacts and co-operations between the two projects as well as individual partners.

27.02.2012 - Federated Identities
The 3rd workshop on Federated Identity Management is organized as a satellite meeting of the ISGC Symposium in Taipei/Taiwan. H.J.Weyer will present the status of the PaNdata identity system named Umbrella, a prototype system currently being under evaluation by the PaNdata partners and user communities.

08.12.2011 - Harmonization meeting
PaNdata and CRISP workpackages in the IT-sector are in some aspects related or complementary. To ensure compatibility of approaches, PaNdata and CRISP (with some participation of PNI-HDRI) are therefore coordinating some of the work on authentication systems and data management aspects. The 2nd PaNdata and CRISP harmonization meeting concentrated on the organization of the'' friendly user'' test phase of the federated identity system, which will be concluded at the first CRISP annual meeting in April 2012. The meeting was attended by 25 participants from 13 different European laboratories, representing apart from PaNdata and CRISP, several other projects like FAIR, LHC and notably Biostruct-X.
