It is an initiative by the MPIA Computer Committee. The intended audience is the MPIA technical departments and the administration. As a follow-up to the email by Prof. Rix from December 10, 2020 on the support request for the IT team we will have a presentation on the tasks and non-tasks of the MPIA IT department. It should also raise the awareness for the current working situation of our IT colleagues. The main contents of this presentation had been prepared by the IT department. This presentation will also be given at the PSF coffee and Galaxy coffee to reach a maximum number of MPIA staff.[[BR]]'''[[BR]]'''Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2021S1/2021-01-15_Helpdesk.pdf Slides: English] [[BR]]Questions: German, English''' ''' || || 22.01.2021 || || || || 29.01.2021 || || || || 05.02.2021 || || || || '''12.02.2021 (11hrs, Zoom)''' || '''Michael Lehmitz''' || '''Video-link: [https://zoom.us/j/2521989441 ​https://zoom.us/j/2521989441][[BR]][[BR]]4MOST and the 4MOST Facility Control System (Part 1)'''[[BR]][[BR]]This talk will be a presentation consisting of two parts.[[BR]][[BR]]After a short introduction about 4MOST and its scientific application, part 1 will also introduce us to the 4MOST Consortium and the participation of MPIA.
