-=============================
+FCCI Tech (aka the SciComp Tech series)
+=======================================
 
-This is a series of talks about scientific computing support and HPC
-infrastructure administration in practice.  It started as our internal
-kickstart to new members of our staff, but the scope is expanded and
-now others interested in research infrastructure is invited, though
-our orientation is still primarily on our own team.  Typical attendee are computational research engineers,
-scientific computing support, or HPC cluster/SciComp admins.
+.. admonition:: Upcoming talks
 
-In the future, this may turn into a more general "research
-engineering" seminar series, once we are done with internal
-explanations.  Guest speakers are welcome.  The name stands for
-"Finnish Computing Competence Infrastructure Tech".
+   (none right now)
 
-We share what our practices are, what we have learned, and informally
-discuss.
+This is a seminar series on scientific computing, research software
+engineering, and generally being a good collaborator in scientific
+computing research.  The target ranges from aspiring research software
+engineers to computing infrastructure specialists.  It is part of the
+ASC's new research software engineer training.
+
+It evolved from a series "how ASC does things, taught to people
+joining our team" to something similar (with more general topics) but
+with a broader audience (everyone is invited).  If you want to network
+with and learn from other people in research computing, you are
+welcome to attend.

-**Time:** The next speaker announce the time/date of the seminar the
-week before. The speaker sends invitation with the Zoom link.  Usually
-Fridays at 10:00 EET.
+**Time:** Usually Fridays at 10:00 Europe/Helsinki time.
 
-**Duration:** Rough estimate: as desired; ~60 minutes time slots;
-should be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
+**Duration:** 60 minute time slot, good to plan for 20-30 minutes
+presentation and 20-30 minutes discussion.
