The HEPiX forum brings together worldwide Information Technology staff, including system administrators, system engineers, and managers from the High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics laboratories and institutes, to foster a learning and sharing experience between sites facing scientific computing and data challenges. Participating sites include ASGC, BNL, CERN, DESY, FNAL, IHEP, IN2P3, INFN, JLAB, KEK, KIT, Nikhef, PIC, RAL, SLAC, TRIUMF and many others. The HEPiX organization was formed in 1991, and its

First, throughout the 80s, there was HEPVM, a very successful collaboration of the major HEP labs which concentrated on the IBM VM operating system then in common use. In 1988, in a meeting at Nikhef, there was a first attempt by several European labs to create something similar for UNIX. At CHEP in Oxford later that year, Willem van Leeuwen (Nikhef) tried to get some user support for the idea. Unfortunately, these were without apparent success.

HEPiX really started at CHEP’91 in Tsukuba, Japan. Representatives from SLAC (Les Cottrell), FNAL (Judy Nicholls) and CERN (Alan Silverman) recognised the possibilities and advantages of learning and mastering the brave new world of UNIX in partnership with other institutes. With HEPVM as a model, they proposed to set up a series of regular meetings with invitation to all HEP labs to discuss issues of mutual concern. They started with 2 Chapters, one in North America, one European, plus a common meeting ass
