This is the third update about migrating the JASMIN infrastructure from RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) to CentOS7. There are 2 main strands to this activity: ...

The JASMIN2020 conference will showcase how the JASMIN facility is supporting and advancing environmental research. This free event will be held at JASMIN’s home institution, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) at the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire, on Tuesday 16th June 2020. The one day event will be an opportunity for users to share experiences of using JASMIN and see how others have solved problems with the available tools/applications. The conference aims to help users get the most out of JASMIN’s facilities by learning from others’ experiences. It will also be an opportunity for users to tell the team (and our funders) how using JASMIN for their research has had a positive benefit on the science community and/or wider society. We want the event to be about networking and sharing knowledge so that attendees can go home with ideas for improving their work on JASMIN. The conference will therefore be a mixture of user presentations, updates from the JASMIN team and poster sessions. The JASMIN team will share information about existing (and new) services that are of interest to the community. The conference will be preceded by a hands on training workshop on Monday 15th June covering the topics detailed here (spaces will be limited for this). Further details will be announced in the New Year - please save the date in the meantime! ...

Yesterday’s JASMIN maintenance went well and the work has now been completed. All services are back to normal - please let us know if you don’t think this is the case. ...

The database migration has been completed a lot faster than expected, and so ET, NLA, and JDMA are now available. ...

This is another reminder that further scheduled maintenance is required TOMORROW (Wednesday 27th November) to supplement the work recently undertaken on 14th October. We anticipate the work will take all day. ...

Elastic Tape, JDMA, and NLA not available - from 16:00 today (26th November) and should be considered at risk until the end of Thursday 28th November. ...

http://data.ceda.ac.uk/ may experience short disruption Monday 25th November. This is to allow us to make a small improvement to the service to show files which are stored in our offline tape server. ...

Congratulations are in order for CEDA’s current apprentice, Matthew Richards, after he won an award at STFC RAL’s annual Apprentice Awards Evening.
