Bosco & OSG @ XSEDE13

Last week, several members of the Bosco team attended the XSEDE 13 Conference.  We enjoyed the great San Diego weather, and even caught a little ComicCon, which was being held next door when I arrived.  Here are some of the highlights.

A group of OSG summer school students formed a team for the student programming challenge.  They where given 10 difficult programming challenges to solve and had all day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to work on them.  On Friday, the results where released and the OSG team won first place in the programming challenge!

Carrier Dinner

On Tuesday evening, the XSEDE conference hosted a dinner on the USS Midway anchored not far from the conference.  It was a great evening of food, drinks, and tours!

Bosco @ XSEDE Poster Session

Wednesday night was the XSEDE Poster Session.  We had a great reception.  Many people approached us, asking questions about Bosco and how it could help them.
