Meeting 2015/01/24
When
24th of January, 2015
Where
What?
Gijs Molenaar will give the talk he had to postpone last year and will be talking about using Docker to deploy scientific software bundles.
Talk abstract
A lot of software in radio astronomy is based on Python. For the last 2 years I’ve been working on improving the quality and usability of scientific tools written in this field. A key technology principle in tackling this problem is Docker, a relatively new but amazingly useful and promising tool. Docker makes it possible to develop and deploy complex and often fragile data reduction pipelines in a more controlled way, from macbook to cloud computing platform and private cluster.
The umbrella project for the container projects is called Papino: https://github.com/ska-sa/papino
Next Meeting
To be decided, but probably early March
python3 -c 'import datetime ; print(datetime.date(day=24,month=1,year=2015) + datetime.timedelta(weeks=6))'
