Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

we, the experiment control system group @ GSI, would like to invite you to a workshop dedicated to the CS framework. Please feel free to forward this information to other colleagues.

The main idea behind this workshop is to bring the users and developers of CS together to discuss about the present status and future developments.

So far, CS is in use at a couple of experiments and facilities. Lots of features and classes have been added over the past years. The design and base classes of CS have proven to work. Furthermore the new CS version 3.0 will be released soon (some experiment already switched to or started with the new version). We feel that it is just the right time for the second workshop.

This workshop will take place at GSI in "DVEE Besprechungsraum", SB2 2.239B, on
February 1 2007, Thursday, 09:00 to 18:00 (evening: dinner)
February 2 2007, Friday, 09:00 to 15:00.

We try to run the a Breeze Web-Meeting in parallel, so that people from anywhere could join the workshop remotely.

• Meeting URL: http://webconf.vc.dfn.de/r66736165/
• Informationen on Breeze Meeting: http://www.macromedia.com/go/breeze_rsc_ctr_de
• Please register yourself for remote participation. Deadline: January 30, 2006.

Since nobody registered for remote participation the Breeze Meeting is canceled.

It would be nice if you could provide us with some suggestions about the topics you would like to be informed about and and/or the topics you would like to discuss. Please let us know, if you intend to come to the workshop or not.

Agenda

Maybe it is a good idea to contribute to the CsWishList to enable us to derive a concrete agenda.

Wanted: A sponsor for coffee and cookies!
GSI has no money left. All attendees are asked to bring some cookies, peanuts, flips etc.
