9th Rucio Community Workshop – Oct 26-30, 2026 | CC-IN2P3, Lyon, France | Registration Open!

[Martin Barisits]

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the 9th edition of the Rucio Community
Workshop, which will be hosted by the IN2P3 / CNRS Computing Centre
(CC-IN2P3) in Lyon, France, from Monday 26th October to Friday 30th
October 2026.

Building on the success of previous editions, this 9th edition continues
our tradition of bringing together developers, site administrators,
experiment representatives and end users for a full week of
presentations, technical deep-dives, tutorials and informal collaboration.

Format

The workshop will be held in person, with remote participation supported
via Zoom. Connection details will be circulated to registered
participants. The programme will mix:

- Community status reports and operational experience
- Updates from the Rucio core development team
- Technical deep-dives, demos and tutorials
- Roadmap, requirements gathering and open discussion sessions
- Plenty of unstructured time for cross-community collaboration

Registration

Registration is now open on the Indico page! Both in-person and remote
registration options are offered. There is no registration fee for this
edition: the workshop is generously sponsored by IN2P3 / CNRS, who are
covering the local organisation costs (Coffee breaks, lunch breaks, the
workshop reception, and the workshop dinner will all be provided).

Call for Presentations

The workshop thrives on contributions from across the Rucio ecosystem.
We welcome proposals from users, operators, developers, site
administrators and members of adjacent communities (workflow systems,
storage, networking, AAI, monitoring, etc.). Contributions from new and
emerging communities considering Rucio are especially encouraged.
Remote presentations will be accepted, although we strongly encourage
in-person participation where feasible to foster cross-community discussion.
