GOOD 2025

There are thousands of scientific and HPC applications that users need to carry out their work. OOD offers an incredible resource for users to access these applications, but how best to understand the existing OOD Apps, to learn from them, and to create your own? In this poster, we propose a simple, centralized repository for OOD Apps and some basic guidelines for creating and sharing new ones.

This BoF will bring together administrators from different institutions who use OOD in a teaching context. We will have a panel of presenters to talk about how OOD is implemented for teaching in their implementation, and then open up the floor for discussion with the panel. This BoF is intended to be useful to developers and administrators who are responsible for OOD in teaching use cases, as well as instructors who want a better understanding of what's going on behind the scenes with the platforms they use. It's our hope that this sharing of ideas will result in a lot of learning from different solutions to similar problems unique to deploying OOD for teaching.

Open OnDemand (OOD) is a transformative tool for Research and High Performance Computing Centers -- but getting it up-and-running at your institution can feel daunting. We recently took on this challenge, and trust me, if one guy from a small team at a small school can do it, then so can you! I will talk about excellent resources I had, lessons I learned, and some key takeaways from the experience. If you are considering OOD for your institution, then this is your chance to hear some positive first-hand experience.
