The HEP Software Foundation is organizing a meeting to discuss common ground on software challenges across different communities at LAL and on Vidyo on the afternoon of Wednesday October 16 at LAL, at 16:00-17:30:
https://indico.cern.ch/event/852242/
The discussion will start with a short talk from Graeme Stewart, the coordinator of the HEP Software Foundation, presenting what the HEP Software Foundation is and what it facilitated so far, and speakers from the astrophysics, particle physics and nuclear physics communities. We will use this meeting as a way to start the discussion on possible areas of collaboration on topics from software event selection and reconstruction all the way to data analysis that can continue in future meetings.
