Image of the week - Dirty laundry: what really goes on at grid summer schools The grim truth behind the exotic image: Apparently grid summer schools aren’t as squeaky clean as they make out!Image © Harald BarthProviding an inside peek into the real nuts and bolts of a working grid summer school, this image was taken at the 5th International Summer School on Grid Computing, held in Mariefred, Sweden, from 8-20 July 2007.The school attracted 62 students from various backgrounds, introducing them to different grid technologies during lectures and practical sessions.
