[HTCondor-world] HTCondor Week 2017: An Opportunity to Learn and Connect

["R. Kent Wenger" <wenger@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello HTCondor Users and Collaborators!

We want to invite you to HTCondor Week 2017, our annual HTCondor user 
conference, in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin, May 2-5, 2017. We will host 
HTCondor Week at the Fluno Center on the University of Wisconsin-Madison 
campus. It provides HTCondor Week attendees with a compelling environment 
in which to attend tutorials and talks from HTCondor developers and users 
like you. It also provides many comfortable spaces for one-on-one or small 
group collaborations throughout the week.
We have just released HTCondor version 8.6.0, the first version in the 8.6 
stable series.  By the time of this yearʼs HTCondor Week the 8.7 
development series should be well underway. When you attend HTCondor Week, 
you will learn how to take advantage of the latest features. You'll also 
get a peek into our longer-term development plans -- something you can 
only get at HTCondor Week!
We will have a variety of in-depth tutorials and talks where you can learn 
more about HTCondor and how other people are using and deploying HTCondor. 
Best of all, you can establish contacts and learn best practices from 
people in industry, government, and academia who are using HTCondor to 
solve hard problems, many of which may be similar to those you are facing.
Speaking of learning from the community, we'd love to have you give a talk 
at HTCondor Week. Talks are 15-20 minutes long and are a great way share 
your ideas and get feedback from the community. If you have a compelling 
use of HTCondor you'd like to share, see our speaker's page:

You can get hotel details, and see the agenda overview on the HTCondor 
Week 2017 site: http://htcondor.org/HTCondorWeek2017.  (Note that 
registration is not yet available, but it should be soon.)
See you in Madison!
