Hands-on Workshop

8 Jul 2025, 07:00 → 11 Jul 2025, 09:30 UTC

Virtual

ILDG Working Groups, Hideo Matsufuru (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Japan), Hubert Simma (DESY)

This workshop is intended for ILDG members belonging to collaborations which plan to upload configurations in the near future. 

The workshop will provide an update on the technical developments towards ILDG 2.0 and enable the participants to practice the basic steps for download, markup and upload of gauge configurations.

Feedback from participants is expected to  also provide insights and input for further improving and developing ILDG. 

Each day will start with introductory lectures at 7:00 UTC (that will also be recorded). The hands-on exercises shall be carried out in smaller groups to have the possibility to look into collaboration-specific aspects and to adjust to different time zones.

For an active participation in the excercises you need to be member of the Virtual Organisation ILDG. In order to leave time to fix possible issues with a yet untested identity provider, you should request ILDG membership as soon as possible via the ILDG User Registration (IAM). For detailed instructions, see HOWTO-membership.md in the gitlab.
