11am this Thursday - Meeting with ICT to discuss issues with college policy on Apple devices

Dear FoNS and Physics Computing people, A number of people raised issues concerning how college now "take over" new Apple computers. My apologies for the short notice but we are having a meeting with ICT in their operations slot this Thursday to discuss these issues and how we can progress in a constructive way. All are welcome to this meeting and ICT will be represented at the highest level. Please circulate this message to anybody who you think will be interested as this issue seems to have been a pain in the neck for quite a number of people. If you cannot make it then please send me details of how this has caused you problems so that I can relay them - please make these simple as I am not really a Mac user. I hope that this meeting also addresses the wider subject of how ICT tries to bring in changes of this sort. Best, david

Next physics computing meeting

Dear All, I hope that you have had a good summer. It is time for us to set the date of the next meeting of the departmental computing committee. The FoNS Research Computing Committee (FRCC) is always one week before the FoNS Research Meeting and we try to have the Physics Computing Committee in the week or so before that so that information can cascade. The next FRCC is on the 12th October so I have put in a doodle for the week or so before then. As ever the the meetings will be at lunch time. The link to the doodle poll is: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/axvojkqd The only group who are not currently represented on this committee are Photonics, and so I have cc'ed Mike and Paul so that somebody from that group can join us. Best, david
