Learning about Globus Connect/Online and more when The globusWorld Tour came to RAL

RAL recently hosted a Globus World Tour event where ~50 researchers and system administrators from across the UK (and across research interest groups) gathered to learn about Globus Online.
A link to the agenda is here:

The sessions covered various areas from server system administration, transfer usage and monitoring, API/CLI access and app integration. As was pointed out, globus do more than just data transfer.  (I got use Jupyter notebooks again :) ) What I also found helpful was trying to understand tokens as authentication method. (Although most is still just a mystery to me.)
Useful pages to look at  are the globus how-to page:

 https://docs.globus.org/how-to/

 and the github repository:

Time to go and see if I can setup a globus connect server on a linux box with no gui or browser.....
