The GPFS User Group meetings in England and the other events sponsored by this organization are created and led by customers of IBM. We are hoping to start holding similar events in the US, like the meet-the-devs outings and meetings with probably two days of presentations and discussions from GPFS Customers and the IBM GPFS Developers. It?s a great way to meet others that are deploying similar solutions and provide IBM direct feedback on their latest GPFS developments! -Bryan From: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at gpfsug.org [mailto:gpfsug-discuss-bounces at gpfsug.org] On Behalf Of Jeno Cram Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 10:08 AM To: gpfsug main discussion list Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] GPFS UG USA Count me in as well.

I would prefer it not be held in conjunction with SC for those reasons and will add another one ? lately the SC committee has become incredibly unimaginative in selecting the conference location (?let?s see, where did we have it 5 years ago?

I would prefer it not be held in conjunction with SC for those reasons and will add another one ? lately the SC committee has become incredibly unimaginative in selecting the conference location (?let?s see, where did we have it 5 years ago? Ok, let?s have it there again?). Boring! I?m not advocating that it has to be somewhere exotic or anything like that, but Austin (or New Orleans!) sure doesn?t thrill my soul?

Last SC I had to choose between the DDN and GPFS "User Group" meetings. You can't be in all places at the same time! Perhaps we could still hold a US based GPFS User Group Meeting at SC'15 in Austin, but I would still want two days for the meeting either before or after the event... that would mean it would require days on the weekend before or after the conference.

Any candidate wishing to stand should register their interest to secretary at gpfsug.org by 31st May 2015 stating: a) The post they wish to stand for b) A paragraph covering their credentials c) A paragraph covering what they would bring to the group d) A paragraph setting out their vision for the group for the next two years Submissions will be reproduced verbatim. Submissions without all of the above requirements will be void. Submissions may include a photograph and a LinkedIn URL. Elections will be held electronically and solicited to the membership.

Any candidate wishing to stand should register their interest to secretary at gpfsug.org by 31st May 2015 stating: a) The post they wish to stand for b) A paragraph covering their credentials c) A paragraph covering what they would bring to the group d) A paragraph setting out their vision for the group for the next two years Submissions will be reproduced verbatim. Submissions without all of the above requirements will be void. Submissions may include a photograph and a LinkedIn URL. Elections will be held electronically and solicited to the membership. Each member will have one vote for each position. Results will be announced 19th June 2015.

Last SC I had to choose between the DDN and GPFS "User Group" meetings. You can't be in all places at the same time! Perhaps we could still hold a US based GPFS User Group Meeting at SC'15 in Austin, but I would still want two days for the meeting either before or after the event... that would mean it would require days on the weekend before or after the conference.

Though I guess as it coincides with SC, the customers there will mostly be HPC related customers where as gpfs ug is supposed to be a mix of industries.

I would prefer it not be held in conjunction with SC for those reasons and will add another one ? lately the SC committee has become incredibly unimaginative in selecting the conference location (?let?s see, where did we have it 5 years ago? Ok, let?s have it there again?). Boring! I?m not advocating that it has to be somewhere exotic or anything like that, but Austin (or New Orleans!) sure doesn?t thrill my soul?

Last SC I had to choose between the DDN and GPFS "User Group" meetings. You can't be in all places at the same time! Perhaps we could still hold a US based GPFS User Group Meeting at SC'15 in Austin, but I would still want two days for the meeting either before or after the event... that would mean it would require days on the weekend before or after the conference.

The GPFS User Group meetings in England and the other events sponsored by this organization are created and led by customers of IBM. We are hoping to start holding similar events in the US, like the meet-the-devs outings and meetings with probably two days of presentations and discussions from GPFS Customers and the IBM GPFS Developers. It?s a great way to meet others that are deploying similar solutions and provide IBM direct feedback on their latest GPFS developments! -Bryan From: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at gpfsug.org [mailto:gpfsug-discuss-bounces at gpfsug.org] On Behalf Of Jeno Cram Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 10:08 AM To: gpfsug main discussion list Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] GPFS UG USA Count me in as well.

I would prefer it not be held in conjunction with SC for those reasons and will add another one ? lately the SC committee has become incredibly unimaginative in selecting the conference location (?let?s see, where did we have it 5 years ago? Ok, let?s have it there again?). Boring! I?m not advocating that it has to be somewhere exotic or anything like that, but Austin (or New Orleans!) sure doesn?t thrill my soul?

I?m very much in agreement with Bryan, that the state-side GPFS user meeting has enough content/inertia to have its own venue, 2-3 days (maybe 2 days customer/IBM presentations and 1 day of meet the devs). SC is good, but just too much going on.

Of course if the meeting isn't at sc, I think a short meeting then would still be a good idea for those of us travelling internationally. And if IBM are planning on 6 monthly releases, technology updates would still be a good idea.

I would prefer it not be held in conjunction with SC for those reasons and will add another one ? lately the SC committee has become incredibly unimaginative in selecting the conference location (?let?s see, where did we have it 5 years ago? Ok, let?s have it there again?). Boring! I?m not advocating that it has to be somewhere exotic or anything like that, but Austin (or New Orleans!) sure doesn?t thrill my soul?
