<div class="">Hi all,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">See the note below from Mike Sokoloff regarding the development of a roadmap for scientific software for the HEP community into the future. It could be beneficial for us to participate in this process -- the invitation is open. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If any of you would like to attend the workshop or pursue this more, you might contact Mike directly. If you do, please cc me so I have some idea who Mike is connecting with from JLab.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Matt</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">PS: I looked through the working groups and topics. One issue/challenge that I couldn't easily find in their list of topics was unbinned likelihood fitting and the associated strategies for evaluating uncertainties in a non-Gaussian limit, e.g.,
bootstrap, which can be compute intensive also. I sent a query to Mike to see if this was also on his radar.</div>
