Next HPC Training
Wednesday, Oct 10, 2012: Subversion Version Control
Subversion is tool to manage revision and version control for software, 
documentation, web pages etc that is required for collaborative 
activities. This training will cover topics such as setting up a 
repository, workflows and making changes to repositories

Please feel free to distribute to members of your department or 
institution who may benefit from these training.

Please visit http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/ for more details and 
register using the link provided. Registration closes at 9AM on the day 
of the scheduled training.
Users who plan on joining remotely will be provided with an Adobe 
Connect Link in their registration confirmation email. Please see the 
system requirements at 
http://connect.grok.lsu.edu/Categories.aspx?parentCategoryId=1519.

On another note, it was bought to our attention last week that the adobe 
connect links send in the registration confirmation emails are not 
working. This was found to be due to mail clients, either the ticketing 
system or users cleints which automatically add hyperlinks are including 
the period(.) at the end of the sentence to the hyperlink. Please note 
that all connect links end with a date corresponding to the training 
date with no periods e.g. for the make training (2012-10-03) and not 
(2012-10-03.). If you get the connect link in your email confirmation 
with a period included in the link at the end, please try the link again 
without the period. I apologize if some users have been unable to attend 
the training due to this problem.


Thanks,
Alex
