  • Enabling Minority Serving Institutes to be Cyberinfrastructure Resource Providers Workshop at NCSA August 7-10, 2006
  • Final Program with Presentations (Word) and Webcast for June 26-30 2006 SDSC Workshop. This featured a wonderful morning spent at Calit2 hosted by Larry Smarr
  • SDSCJanuary 30-31 2006 https://www.infomall.org/sites/dsc/educationgrid/msicii/Jan3031-06Meeting.html
• TeraGrid All Hands Meeting in Indianapolis June 12-15 There will tutorials on June 12 covering possibly Science Gateways, Use of TeraGrid, GT4, Nanohub, EPIC MSI, visualization, data repositories The remaining three days will also be very interesting. Research and Technical Categories could benefit from this event; Topics of particular interest could be "How to Access the TeraGrid" (using Science Gateway portals); "Science Opportunities on the Teragrid" See http://www.teragrid.org/all-hands/ for 2005 and https://www.infomall.org/sites/dsc/educationgrid/msicii/Jan3031-06Presentations/TeraGrid%20Welcome%20-%20Lathrop.ppt for 2006
• HASTAC Conference July 24-28 at SDSC (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in Technology and Computing) http://www.eotepic.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=577 Research and perhaps Education Categories
• SDSC annual Supercomputing Institute - July 17-21 2006. This usually focuses on extreme input/ extreme output (Extreme I/O) applications. These are scientific questions that involve a great deal of data (in and out) and significant computational need as well. SDSC is happy to reserve a number of spaces in this institute for MSI researchers. It will be some time in July (not the same week as HASTAC). Research Category

• Lisa Childers and others have developed a one-day hands-on "Build a Grid Service" tutorial that has now been given O(10) times with great success.
  • The current online materials are not quite complete or up-to-date (they will be soon), but they will be soon. However, see: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~childers/tutorials/BAS
  • There is furthermore a tutorial book coming out from Morgan Kaufmann that covers essentially the same material, see: http://books.elsevier.com/us/mk/us/subindex.asp?isbn=0123694043
• Grid Ecosystem Lee Liming and others have developed online material and a half-day tutorial on this topic. See: http://www-unix.grids-center.org/r6/ecosystem/
• Jens Mache from Lewis & Clark College and Amy Apon from the University of Arkansas have NSF awards for teaching grid/GT (initially GT3, now being updated to GT4), see: http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0411237 and http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0410966
