  • A note about the hotel/meeting layout: The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is comprised of two buildings across the street from each other, and we recommend that you instruct drivers to drop you off at the hotel’s main drive, located at the corner of Court Plaza and 16th St. Mall, in order to gain direct access to the front desk, located in the Plaza Building. The CNI meeting will take place in the Tower Building; guest rooms may be in either building, and a second-floor sky bridge connects the two buildings.

The National Research Platform's Nautilus project, a hosted Kubernetes framework, serves as the basis for the University of Oklahoma Libraries to create custom computing environments that focus on the needs of instructors, students, and researchers. This session will report on the outcomes of the first year of a pilot hosted by the University Libraries Digital Strategies and Innovation unit. Participants included faculty and students from the School of Meteorology who needed a Python coding environment and a faculty member from Women's and Gender Studies who needed a text analysis coding environment. The presenters will outline workflows and tools (e.g., Docker containers) used to address the requirements of the computing environments and to facilitate the Libraries' ability to respond to configuration requests. The team shared their workflows with other institutions, helping them to identify improvements and to encourage further collaboration.
