Greater IPAC Technology Symposium (GRITS) 2020

The Greater IPAC Technology Symposium (GRITS) will be held virtually Monday-Thursday September 21-24, 2020. On each day, there will be ~2 hours of talks on Zoom starting at 10 AM PDT.

GRITS is an 8 hour Technology Symposium giving IPACers the chance to share information about what we are currently doing to support our projects, and learn how outside organizations are tackling the engineering challenges of supporting cutting-edge science missions. If you are a developer, an engineer,  a technologist, a user -- an IPACer -- this symposium is for you. 

This year, we are soliciting Contributed Talks and Pop-Ups. Contributed Talks are informal 15 minute talks plus 5 minutes for questions. Pop-Ups are single-slide opportunities to describe interesting tools,  elegant engineering solutions, or lessons learned.

Now we need your active participation! Please submit your talk titles to any of the LOC members (see below) or directly togrits@ipac.caltech.edu. If you have a date preference for your talk, please send that along with your talk title. We will provide a rehearsal opportunity for all presenters to get accustomed to the software if needed.

We're interested in any and all topics related to the technology aspects of working at IPAC: software development, pipeline algorithms, project management, status updates on IPAC projects, system administration, cyber security, tips and tricks, outreach topics – basically any useful information you'd like to communicate to your fellow IPACers.
