New publications collection UI added to allocations portal today. Will be able to add pubs separate from allocations request, tag resources/RPs. Restoring more complete functionality from XSEDE portal.
Met with researchers from Harvard Business School. Sharing some data for analysis. Potential for collaboration on the allocations “marketplace.”
MATCH Shelley Knuth
The Support Team is planning on submitted a BOF to PEARC23 and involving Allocations and the Community Engagement working group. The purpose of the BOF will be around getting feedback from users on our services.
Actively attending and working with the AI Institutes NSF program. An Affinity group has been created and training for the use of the group will occur next week. Leslie and Tom are planning to send a request to RPs about system and resource specific question.
Question around the term “user” and the old XSEDE terminology program.

The program is set with instructors from FIU, IU, NCSA: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1polkpxm4ivDL2u7KlwUGSeANNssBO3dAnqKksAEeIuQ/edit#gid=1848038903 . Following the STEP-1 program, six of the students will travel to NCSA for a summer internship program with projects in operations, networking, or cybersecurity. Those students will also attend PEARC23. Watch for more details to be shared at https://operations.access-ci.org/step , in newsletters, and news stories! Kudos to Winona & her team for pulling this all together!
