Here is the preliminary agenda for the user group meeting at SC15. We realize that the timing isn’t perfect for everyone. Hopefully all of you in attendance at SC15 can participate in some or all of these sessions. I’m sure we will all find time to get together
outside of this to discuss topics. Thanks to IBM for helping to organize this.</div>
