Fermilab Computer Club Homepage

The Fermilab Computer Club (FCC) is an informal organization of computer users at Fermilab. The idea is to help disseminate information about new resources, tools and programming practices in the computing world, a large part of which affects how people at Fermilab do their jobs.

There is a vast amount of experience and knowledge on these sorts of topics at Fermilab and the aim is to provide a forum for this knowledge to be shared.

Meetings

The club meets every second Tuesday at the Users Center in the Fermilab Village, at 6 p.m. All are welcome and there are no dues or membership fees.
