MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 8:30 AM
Welcome to the world of HUBzero! A world where new scientific web sites can be created in minutes via Amazon Web Services, or in hours via RedHat and Debian packages running on your own hardware. A world where researchers can create their own space online, to share research data and collaborate privately before publishing their data and analysis tools for the scientific community. A world where educators can leverage interactive tools for hands-on homework assignments, and share teaching materials with other educators. A world that is continually changing as new capabilities are added to the platform to support discovery and learning in new ways. This talk will review the latest changes to the HUBzero platform and the current state of the hub community.
