Note: photo taken from prepwork for a prior training session, classes will not take place in a times square high-rise hotel room!

Two events to announce:

• LSF Migration Workshop: March 17 2009, Santa Clara, CA
• Grid Engine Administration Workshop: March 18, 2009, Santa Clara, CA

The nice folks at UnivaUD (operators of the community grid.org site as well) have invited me to present a 1-Day Grid Engine Admin workshop scheduled for March 18th in Santa Clara, CA. This is happening on the day after Univa holds a LSF to SGE Migration workshop.

More details are available here via downloadble PDFs for each session:

I intend to deliver a shorter version of my standard 2-day Admin workshop. The plan is to fire up cluster systems within the Amazon EC2 cloud so each attendee has root and full administrative control over their classroom setup. I may decide to build the systems off of the open source UnivaUD Unicluster product since it conveniently installs everything I care about including a functional SGE ARCo setup.

Drop me a line if you plan on attending or if you have any questions, I can be reached at 'chris@bioteam.net' (my corporate hat) or 'dag@sonsorol.org' (non-corporate ID that I use on public sites and the SGE forums...)
