Hi everyone,
during the last openfoam workshop there was a discussion about a support group for beginners. Despite I already work for some time with openfoam I still consider myself a beginner. In order to give people an informal way to discuss their experience or problems with openfoam I would like to invite everyone to a monthly video conference. In order to allow participation of people from many time zones I propose to do it in the afternoon of Europe time.
The first occasion will be in the 24th of July at 16:00 central European summer time. The details of the Zoom Meeting room can be found in the attached image.


Everyone is welcome.
See you there.
Patrick

Dear All,

First of all, it is high time to say hello. I've been using OpenFOAM and this forum for years and I've always found a solution to my endless problems during my PhD.

Many thanks to all of you who contributes to this community.

Now, here I am asking for help.

Currently, I am working on my own project which aims to bring OpenFOAM to cloud accessible from a web browser:

www.flowfusic.com

It is extremely easy to start using OF with Flowfusic, after login you'll get a terminal, file manager, and text editor.

I need feedback from OF users. If you are interested in testing or using it please send me a private message and I will give you premium access.

Many thanks,
Maciej

PS
Take a look at the screenshot of what you get after login:
