Stewart, Pere Mato + +## News, general matters, announcements + +### HSF Joint Workshop with WLCG + +## Working Group Updates + +#### Website banners + +We have the ability to put event banners on the HSF website. All it requires is a markdown file with the event data. See, e.g., files [here](https://github.com/HSF/hsf.github.io/tree/main/announcements/_posts/2023). + +#### Meetings + +Please try and book meetings in Indico at least 2 weeks in advance! + +That way they go into the calendar early and they will be included in the weekly email announcement that goes to HSF Forum. + +### Conveners for 2024 + +Sent call for nominations last week. Very little feedback. + +Claire volunteered for the search committee. Thanks! + +### Data Analysis + +Aiming to set up HS3 meeting on Nov 20 (confirmation / announcement to follow). + +### Software Tools and Packaging +- Trying to advertise the EESSI tutorial on CVMFS for HPC admins + - +- Meeting on Spack developments to be organised. + +### Detector Simulation +- Currently planned/scheduled sessions: + * Summary of the fast calorimeter challenge workshop and fast calorimeter simulation in ATLAS; some time in November/December. + * Next FLUKA generation and its tangible convergences with Geant4 on December 11th. Indico link: . + +### PyHEP +- Last week we discussed the organisation of the PyHEP.dev 2024 developers workshop with our co-organisers from Aachen, Germany. Dates around the end of August and the beginning of September (more likely the former) to be confirmed once we finalise on the venue. + +### Physics Generators +- Generator Workshop 13-14 November - . + +### JuliaHEP +- Workshop [agenda](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1292759/timetable/#20231106) currently happening. + + +## Other Interest and Activity Areas + +### Compute Accelerator Forum + + +### Software and Computing Roundtable + +Torre - good intentions to restart it haven't resulted in a restart, EIC/ePIC too busy.

The aim is to advance the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Fundamental Physics. + +Some early details are on [https://www.eucaif.org](https://www.eucaif.org) and it will eventually appear [here](https://nupecc.org/jenaa/?display=eois). + +Caterina is in the organising committee, and would like to find a way to connect HSF training / PyHEP as foundations to use of ML in HEP. Feedback/other ideas? + +#### GSOC Mentor Summit Summary + +* Recent changes to the GSoC programme (non-students can participate, can move evaluation deadlines) seem to be working well. +* For next year: small projects in addition to medium and large. +* If you are interested in Google Season of Docs, let me (Valentin Volkl) know. +* HSF in 2023: Fewer accepted projects (17) but very successful, 14 already positively evaluated, remaining 3 on track to finish in November. + * One student could not accept stipend due to tax reasons (moved to the US). + + +### Next Meeting + +The next meeting will be on [23 November]( https://indico.cern.ch/event/1225029/). + +Reminder: please [sign up](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z1Z4payCpieOLiVFcC6y9j-KCj71u6xX232LHUgIHfI/edit) for chairing this or one of the future coordination meetings - we need volunteers from now until the end of the year!
