Second Virtual Workshop on Multi-Project CI/CD

Abstract submission is open until November 22, 2024

The Multi-ProjectDevOps project was founded to establish best practices for decreasing the time needed to deploy multiple high-quality scientific software packages, particularly when the packages share common requirements. Key to these best practices are maintaining continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflows. Since the managed packages share common requirements the CI/CD workflows will too. We define a multi-project CI/CD workflow as a CI/CD workflow that can be reused for multiple projects. The purpose of this workshop is to share best practices, lessons learned, and solutions for multi-project CI/CD.

Organizer: Dr. Ryan Richard

Dr. Ryan Richard, is a computational chemist with joint appointments at Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University. He is chief architect and lead developer of the NWChemEx, an exscale-capable reimplementation of the popular Chemistry code, NWChem. Dr. Richard was recently named a Fellow by the Better Scientific Software Fellowship in support of his efforts to promote mulitproject CI/CD best practices.
