About
The Global Open OnDemand Conference (GOOD) is a community conference for users, administrators, and developers of the Open OnDemand platform, a web-based portal for accessing HPC and other advanced computing resources from a browser. GOOD brings together practitioners from campuses, research centers, and industry to share experiences, best practices, customizations, and future directions for Open OnDemand.
The conference typically spans several days and includes tutorials, a contributor workshop, technical talks, birds-of-a-feather sessions, posters, and networking opportunities. Sessions cover topics such as portal deployment and scaling, integrating schedulers and applications, security and data privacy, cloud integration, and using Open OnDemand in teaching and training. For institutions using or considering Open OnDemand, GOOD offers a concentrated chance to learn from real-world deployments, connect with the core development team, and see how other sites provide browser-based access to HPC for their users.
