---+ This is the TWiki home page of the xTCA Interest Group

---++ Introduction

The xTCA Interest Group has been established during the TWEPP2010 workshop in Aachen. Its mission is to further the exchange of information between developers of xTCA components (both H/W and S/W) for application in HEP experiments or accelerators. The membership is open to all representatives of non-profit organisations. Anyone who would like to join is requested to contact the convener: [[Main.MarkusJoos][Markus Joos]]%BR%

---++ Meetings

It is planned to meet twice per year; either within the framework of a suitable HEP conference or virtually via EVO.

---++ Mailing lists

All participants will be added to the xtca-news@cernNOSPAM.ch mailing list. This mailing list will be used to announce information relevant for the members of the xTCA Interest Group as well as xTCA related announcements of interest to CERN based people. In case you have problems posting mails to this list (because you don't have a CERN account) please contact one of the conveners.

---++ Project repository
