I’m very excited to announce that for the past month I have been working on the arrangements for a cloud-oriented software carpentry event, and we are now ready to start recruiting for participants! The event, which is going to be held at the SAP offices in Feltham (near London Heathrow) July 15-17, is being organized as a dissemination activity for the European FP7 HARNESS project. At this event we will extend the standard software carpentry curriculum of task automation, modular programming, and version control, with additional modules on cloud computing, including deployment, configuration, and management of virtual machines.
