Welcome to the OpenStack Scientific Working Group home page.
Please cite this working group using the #scientific-wg tag on listservs, github, blogs, twitter and other social infrastructure.

Purpose

Aim: Explore opportunities for cross-institutional collaboration and compatibility around use of OpenStack for use by researchers, scientists, academics and developers. {To be further specified at the Austin OpenStack Summit}

Objectives:

  • HPC/HTC Infrastructure
  • Research Data Infrastructure
  • Application Infrastructure
  • Social Infrastructure
  • Create opportunities for the scientific community to engage the wider OpenStack community, i.e. industry,


Communication

The default communication of our members is via the following open community mailing list:

 *--> user-committee@lists.openstack.org

Please append email subject lines with "[scientific-wg]".

Please use the hashtag "scientific-wg" for tagging any etherpad URLs, code, blogs posts, scientific research and/or other social publishing platforms.

Meetings

Face-to-face meetings occur bi-annually at the OpenStack summit, please see the conference programme for dates/times.

To propose a virtual meeting (i.e. IRC/chat-room meeting, conference call or other) please email the mailing list.
