SciNet TechTalks and Seminars

The SciNet Users Group (SNUG) meetings are every month on the second Wednesday, and involve pizza, user discussion, feedback, and a TechTalk or two (half-hour talk or two 15 minutes talks) on topics or technologies of interest to the SciNet community.

The pdfs of these TechTalks can be found here on the wiki. Below is a chronological list. Most pdfs can also be found on the Tutorials and manuals page which is ordered by topic.
