:I agree with Tim on the extra ‘OPENSTACK’ in the name, so my vote would go for ‘SCIENTIFIC-WG’.  One reason I prefer this over option A is that I’d like this project to embrace industrial R&D as well as academia.

Yes the 'OpenStack' is definitely redundant & I agree with Stig that
'Academia' is limiting in ways we probably don't want.

I'd choose RESEARCH-WG as "research computing" is what that function
is called around my world but I don't have any opposition to SCIENTIFIC-WG
if that's the consensus choice.

:So my vote’s for SCIENTIFIC-WG.

:> Happy New Year One and All,

:> With renewed vigour, I'd like to submit the following application-template on behalf of Stig, John & Paul [1] for a newly formed working group:

:> https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/academia-wg
:>  
:> Prior to officially minting the WG (on the Governanace/Foundation/UserCommittee page), we do require a vote from you our esteemed user-committee members.
:>  
:> VOTE: What shall we call this new WG?!
:>  
:> Options:
:>  
:> A.) ACADEMIA-WG
:> B.) SCIENTIFIC-OPENSTACK-WG
:> C.) OPENSTACK4RESEARCH-WG
:> D.) Some other combination or wording therein?!
:>  
:> It is worth noting that this WG will amalgamate help to promote the HPC/HTC Working Group, ideally meeting together and/or proximally. 
:>  
:> Other key topics which this WG will look to address (esp re discussion in Austin):
:>  
:>   * HPC Infrastructure, i.e. enabling researchers to have "on tap" compute resources for research experiments in parallel, simulation and high throughput jobs.
:>   * Application infrastructure, i.e. ease of working collaborative with fellow researchers, scientists and lab colleagues, such as conducting cloud native data analysis experiments (via RStudio, iPython, Matlab, etc.)
:>   * Social infrastructure, i.e. communities emerging in academia which are promoting use of cloud computing for collaborative research and science, such as #swcarpentry #ResBaz #ClimbAcUk etc.
:>   * Data infrastructure, i.e. large data science experiments and their usability via cloud applications such as data from DNA sequencers, MRIs/CT/XRay, Defraction, -Omics,  etc.
:>   * Last but not least, promoting the amazing things which Academia is doing with OpenStack... about time a University got a SuperUser award, no?! 
:>  
:> [1]= Many thanks to John, Paul and Stif for the guidance and advice, along with all the other nominated members of this WG.  
:>  
:> Go on, one little letter is all it takes to vote 🔤
:>  
:> Warm Regards from Australia,

:> I’m the lead of the Docs Training guides Speciality team [1]. We already update the material for Upstream Training (slides that are used there and intro pages that explain them a bit more) [2] and we’re also working on the Training slides material (currently a WIP published under draft docs pages). Everything is written in RST (slides too - we use Hieroglyph+Sphinx) and we’re continuously publishing all training material under Training guides section on the Docs pages [3], with standard Docs contribution process with patches&bugs for slides too.
:> 
:> This effort you guys started here for the 1stAppKit Training is really great, I too have a lot of feedback about the need for this from my contacts in the Academia and from our partners in the industry.
:> 
:> I would like to help with developing training materials for it. Can we reuse the tools/processes already established for the Upstream training? I think that it would be good to gather together all community made training related stuff under the same Docs Section [3] - this would increase the visibility of it for all.
