REMINDER: ARCHER 2 Survey from EPSRC
As you are aware, EPSRC is seeking views on HPC provision to replace the current ARCHER service. Please take a few minutes to complete the Survey.
EPSRC very much value your input.
Visit their blog for debate, shared thinking and new perspectives on issues affecting the engineering and physical sciences community.
N.B. When you press 'Save and Continue Later', it directs to the end of a long page, but the text is at the top, so users need to scroll up. You can then enter your details and the system sends an email with a link for continuation. However, some domains appear to be blocking the automatic response, including some '.ac.uk' ones. EPSRC have added text to the front page to alert people to this and they recommend that users get the link through a generic (Hotmail, Gmail etc.) address.

Webinar: Version Control,Arno Proeme, EPCC Wednesday 19th July 1500 BST
Version control tools such as Git and SVN allow us to track changes made over time to files like source code and scripts, including by different people, and to merge these changes in a systematic way. They are therefore an invaluable tool for software development and related workflows. This virtual tutorial will explain the main models underlying a wide range of version control tools and will illustrate these through live demonstrations using Git and SVN.
This tutorial should prove useful to researchers already using a version control tool but uncertain of the underlying model and therefore occasionally unsure of what the tool is doing or how to get it to do what they want, as well as to researchers who are trying to decide which version control tool to choose to use in the first place to fit their needs. It should also be of interest to those who are simply trying to get a better general understanding of version control systems.
