Cosmic

CMS

CMS Open Data workshop:

• There will be a CMS Open Data workshop 28-30 July at ND
• Focus will be on pedagogy and how to use open data at the high-school and undergraduate level
• Some financial support from ND for participants and facilitators
• We will be ready to advertise this week
• The overlap with QN is obvious (and deliberate); we will need QN support in advertising the workshop and in organization

General - Archived to bottom

* DOIs will help people locate and cite objects in our GitHub repo. CERN's Zenodo can create these if we integrate it. Tom has a Zenodo https://zenodo.org/communities/quarknet/records?q=&l=list&p=1&s=10&sort=newest set up.

* Future planning

• e-Labs data & server ownership
• i2u2.org and quarknet.org server access
  • DAP and Masterclass information
  • Google account & Google Sheets for MCs
  • Domain registration (i2u2.org, quarknet.org, quarknet.info, quarknet.us)
• Arachne

* Structural issues exist in:

• CIMA & recent OS - Google sheets not an ideal solution due to limitations
• CR e-Lab & recent OS
• Java versions in HYPATIA, EQUIP, etc
• EQUIP on Raspberry Pi 64-bit (rxtx on the way out?)
• Drupal long-term (will need to replace in a few years)
• Not enough time to update content in masterclass web pages, e-Labs
• Vulnerability

It is not just us. How do we rethink our IT approach to deal with these within our resources?
