As many of you know, the core OOD team regularly provides tutorials at events like PEARC. Last year at GOOD25 several people in the community gave tutorials as well. Would anybody be interested in collaborating on a tutorial for PEARC26 this year? We have a lot of content already accessible at [GitHub - matt257/hpc-toolset-tutorial: Tutorial for installing Open XDMoD, OnDemand, & ColdFront](http://openondemand.org/tutorial), but it could use a lot of updates (particularly the actual Docker containers) and we’d very much appreciate any help anyone could provide.

Submissions are due Feb 2nd (3 weeks from today) and PEARC26 isn’t until end of July ([https://pearc.acm.org/pearc26/](https://pearc.acm.org/pearc26/)) so there is quite a bit of time to work on it.

Alan, I would be willing to help out, but I just can’t commit to attending at this point in the year. I can definitely help out with getting the tutorial set up and testing any updates that are needed.
