<p>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
It's taking me a bit too long to say hi. As Jonas mentioned
earlier I'm taking over sciserver maintainance duties from him.
Ultimately I'm here to make sure you can get your job done as
smoothly as possible with sciserver. I'm coming from a software
engineering and devops background, as well as being an open source
fan.<br>
<br>
To not spam you let me briefly mention my immediate goals which
are basically 2:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li><i>Maintain and upgrade sciserver</i>. I've already met with
the creators from John Hopkins and have a better idea of what
are the future plans for it. Together with the leaders of
HE/Opinas groups, we're analyzing the different upgrades paths
available. Sidenote, I need to thank Jonas Haase for his always
positive attitude and friendly support as he continues to guide
me through this complex piece of software (and hardware).</li>
<li><i>Incentivate collaboration via matrix</i>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://matrix.to/#/#python:mpe.mpg.de">https://matrix.to/#/#python:mpe.mpg.de</a>). Although I don't know
a lot of astronomy/astrophysics, I am happy to provide help in
software areas such as python (and a couple other langs). There
are no stupid questions, I'm just here to help you get your work
done. If you are part of MPE then you already have an account at
chat.mpe.mpg.de ,if you're from outside the institute, you can
use/create an account from any public matrix provider
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://app.element.io/#/register">https://app.element.io/#/register</a>) and join the channel with
the first link.</li>
</ol>
<p><br>
I'm summarizing a lot, but if you have any questions whatsoever
about how sciserver works, or what is the best way to achieve a
project you have in mind, or are stuck with a coding problem,
please reach out at any time.<br>
<br>
Finally, a quick <b>technical annoucement</b>. Different
institutes at MPG have decided to switch the default anaconda
repositories. This is due to their (Anaconda Inc.) recent changes
in licensing. What this comes down to for us, is that you are <i>_strongly_</i>
invited to switch to the conda-forge repositories, then carry on
as usual. New compute instances will slowly be updated so this
config is automatic. In the meantime, this 2 commands take care of
it:<br>
</p>
<p><font face="monospace">conda config --add channels conda-forge<br>
conda config --remove channels defaults</font><br>
<br>
<br>
Best,</p>
<p><br>
