May 23, 2016: GENIE on DockerHub
Users of Docker can now pull images of GENIE from DockerHub. Just set up Docker and use docker pull gnperdue/genie:latest or docker pull gnperdue/genie:2.10.8 (2.10.6 is also supported). If this proves to be a popular way to run GENIE, we'll create a GENIE organization on DockerHub and try to include more releases there. Note that for development work and production, we recommend building GENIE natively, but for quick studies or tutorials, checkout from Docker might be convenient.

Production release 2.10.8 is now available. The tag for this version is `R-2_10_8'. For more details see here.

Apr 1st, 2016: NuTune2016 workshop, University of Liverpool, July 11th-15th.
We are pleased to announce a Workshop on Global Fits to Neutrino Scattering Data and Generator Tuning (NuTune2016) to be held at the University of Liverpool in UK from the 11th till the 15th of July this year. (This is the week after Neutrino 2016 held in London.) The first part of workshop (11th-12th) is open to the entire community and will feature discussion of current tuning efforts as well as in-depth talks and discussions of datasets and models which are crucial in these efforts. We encourage the submission of abstracts as well as topics for discussion. Please visit the workshop page.
