Agenda

ASA-2012-Phoentix-iPlantWorkshop.pdf (minus the CoGe section)

Goal

To provide an interactive, hands-on training of iPlant Tools and Services so that participants can begin to use iPlant cyberinfrastructure in their plant science research.

Pre-Workshop Homework

1. Please test your iPlant credentials to ensure you have access. You can log-in from user.iplantcollaborative.org, click the button "iPlant Login"

Once authenticated, click the "My Services" link
Under "My Services" please ensure you have access to: Atmosphere, Discovery Environment, iPlant Data Store. You can also request access to other services here
If you have account problems, please email support@iplantcollaborative.org

2. Please check your email and this wiki prior to the workshop, as this is the way we will communicate any important changes.

3. The use of Atmosphere will require a VNC viewer which can be downloaded here.

Map & Parking

Note: Entry to the building may require one of the iPlant trainers to be at the door to let people in from 12-5pm. After 5pm, there will be a security person that will be able to do that.

Guest parking is available at Building 4 on the northeast corner of 7th Street and Van Buren. Parking fees are charged from 7am to 5pm and can be paid by cash or credit/debit card. The rates are $2/hour for the first two hours and $1/hour for each additional hour. Parking is free after 5pm.

Additional information and considerations

Food: This workshop runs from 12-6:30 pm. If food is needed (which it probably will be), we will order pizzas. Yelp, google, and cyberinfrastructure will help!

Taxi to Skyharbor Airport: we can help call you a taxi to the airport if you need one.

Internet connectivity is WiFi: No moving big data around.
