DiracX@FCC — met with A. Sailer, got pointers on where to start
- First step: update underlying DIRAC version in iLCDirac from v8 to v9, only after that start migration to DiracX
- Upgrade of DIRAC v8 → v9 also involves rethinking the systems around it
- Migration to DiracX is a gradual process — each subsystem replaced one at a time
- Collecting requirements on DiracX from FCC side
Questionnaire for individual physics groups almost ready — email to coordinators soon
Today, 16:30 (CERN) | HSF Seminar — Software Packaging
Fri Jun 26, 16:00 (CERN) | FCC Documentation and Training Kick-off
- FCC-hh analysis tutorial is outdated and not working anymore
Aug 27–Sep 04, 2026 at CERN | BNL-CERN School on Physics at Future Colliders
