Release of Taurus 5.3.0 with support for Qt6

This workshop is a continuation in the series of ICALEPCS workshops on Tango Controls. Tango is a toolkit for building modern distributed control systems in C++, Python, and/or Java. It is prepared for people who are new to Tango but also for those who want to get an update on the latest tools in Tango. The workshop provides hands-on exercises and examples which attendees can try during or after the workshop. Attendees will acquire a good understanding of the concepts of Tango and its tools for building an object oriented distributed control system.

cppTango release candidate 10.1.0.rc1

Dear Tango Community,

The 39th Tango Community Meeting was hosted by INAF (Italian National Institute for Astrophysics) and INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico d'Abruzzo, in Giulianova (Italy).

42 participants attended in person, as well as between 40 and 50 participants connected online. In total, 33 contributions were submitted, in addition to the final discussion session dedicated to open topics, roadmap planning, and two workshops. All the materials are now available on the Indico event page, including the recordings of all sessions, the presentations, and the Miro board used during open discussion:

The meeting offered an excellent opportunity for open discussion and exchange between the various institutes using Tango. It was also a great chance to strengthen or initiate new collaborations, as well as to share tools, solutions, and experiences that each institute has developed over the years. Feedback on the event was very positive. The social events were enjoyable, and above all, the meeting provided a valuable moment to connect, share ideas, and foster community spirit.

The community would like to thank the hosts - INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico d'Abruzzo, and especially to the local organising committee led by Matteo Canzari for organising such a successful and pleasant event in a beautiful location!
