I hope you all had a relaxing long weekend, and are all doing OK.

As well as the usual reminders, below, we wanted to reiterate the message from the Vice-Chancellor today - there are no changes to the current working arrangements, and the centre remains closed.  Please stay home and stay safe!

We would like to remind users about the importance of logging out to end remote desktop sessions at the end of the day.  You should treat the remote desktop in the same way as the open plan PCs: save your work and log out as you normally would once you finish for the day (i.e. Applications > Log Out) - once you've logged out your session should automatically terminate, but if not, you should also terminate the session on the x2go client.

Any remote desktop sessions that have been suspended (not opened or used) for more than ten days will be terminated to free up space. 

If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support@ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly.

We will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of the YNiC staff will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, add comments in the zoom chat, or just discuss it at the end.  Note that there is no pressure to have your mic or video on at any time during or after the talk (you also don't need to watch it in advance).
