 n\nX-CITE: Cyberinfrastructure Training and Education for Synchrotron X-Ra
 y Science\nOn Wednesday\, June 17\, 2026\, CHESS will offer a free worksho
 p on X-ray software and computing intended for CHESS users with upcoming b
 eamtime and data analysis needs.\nThis workshop is open to in-person parti
 cipants only\; no virtual option is available. The registration questions 
 on Linux and Python are meant to assist us in planning these tutorials. Pl
 ease bring a laptop for use in the hands-on tutorial.\nWe welcome particip
 ants of all levels of experience. For those with little or no familiarity 
 with scientific computing\, we will distribute pre-workshop introductory l
 essons on remote access\, Linux\, Python\, and the CHESS research workflow
  about two weeks before the workshop (early-June).\nThe program on June 17
  will start with a morning plenary session followed by an afternoon parall
 el session with hands-on tutorials specific. The material presented on Jun
 e 17 will assume familiarity with Linux and Python at the level of the pre
 -workshop introductory lessons.\nThe X-CITE workshop is geared toward cybe
 rinfrastructure (CI) training for the community of scientists and research
 ers using the CHESS synchrotron X-ray facility and similar light sources. 
 The training materials presented during the workshop and the associated tr
 aining activities will help reduce barriers to the use of CHESS instrument
 s\, data\, software tools\, and computing resources to help users in key s
 teps critical to their scientific campaigns - from data collection\, data 
 processing\, running simulations\, to storing and publishing data. \nThis
  edition of the workshop will cover selected and “most wanted” materia
 ls ranging from (a) overview of CHESS research workflow and CI - best prac
 tices for data collection\, using software for data analysis\, using compu
 te farms\, and preparing for your beamtime\, (b) FAIR data management and 
 how it applies to data collected by CHESS users\, (c) introduction to scie
 nce gateways with an Open OnDemand example\, and executing scientific work
 flows on CHESS computing systems\, and (d) refresher of systems fundamenta
 ls (Linux\, remote access\, command line\, storing and moving your data) a
 nd Python programming.\nThis day-long workshop will be structured around a
  mix of lectures introducing the materials customized for CHESS users\, ha
 nds-on sessions where participants will have the opportunity to go through
  end-to-end examples with the workshop instructors\, followed by office ho
 urs from the instructors to address specific questions and concerns.\nAlth
 ough this workshop is geared towards users who are new to CHESS CI\, exper
 ienced users are also invited to attend\, participate in the advanced hand
 s-on sessions\, and provide feedback on the materials presented.\n\nhttps:
