vacproject becomes Project Vacuum on Twitter and on GitHub: github.com/ProjectVacuum Still three pillars: #Vcycle for managing #OpenStack VMs; #Vac for running OpenStack VMs without OpenStack; and a library of VMs for the experiments. #ProjectVacuum is funded by #IRISacuk #GridPP

In Ambleside for #GridPP43 presenting some of the results of the #Vcycle digital assert work funded by IRIS and supported by the @GridPP infrastructure. Running #particlephysics and #astronomy workloads on #OpenStack with #ProjectVacuum tools.

I have come to terms with @vacproject being taken and finally registered this instead :)

This week @GridPP’s “Vacuum Platform” became a @HepSoftware Foundation technical note: hepsoftwarefoundation.org/notes/HSF-TN-2… Underpins #Vac and #Vcycle

#Vcycle 1.0 getting very close now. First version of the Admin Guide there too: gridpp.ac.uk/vcycle/admin-g…

Now running ALICE Experiment jobs in VMs on GridPP’s #Vac system. First time able to run ALICE jobs at Manchester since 2008! UoM Particle Physics
