[Chapel-education] Chapel news: CHIUW 2016, Twitter feed, #chapel IRC channel

[Brad C. <br...@cr...>]

Hi Chapel Community --

A few quick updates:


CHIUW 2016
----------
The program for CHIUW 2016 -- the 3rd Annual Chapel Implementers and Users 
Workshop -- is now available online:

 	http://chapel.cray.com/CHIUW2016.html

This year's program spans 13 organizations and features 4 research papers, 
10 short talks, and a keynote by Nikhil Padmanabhan (astrophysics 
professor, Yale University).  In addition, we'll hold our annual "state of 
the project" report, community discussion session, and a code camp 
opportunity on day two.

CHIUW 2016 will be held May 27-28 in Chicago as part of IPDPS 2016. Early 
registration closes March 27th, so register this week to save some money!


Chapel Twitter Feed
-------------------
We recently kicked off a Twitter feed to complement our Facebook page. 
If you're a Twitter or Facebook user, these are great ways to keep up with 
the project on a regular basis as we continue to try to keep this 
chapel-announce mailing list limited to a small number of mails per year 
to spare your inbox.

#chapel IRC channel
-------------------
We've also recently launched a #chapel IRC channel hosted at 
chat.freenode.net to complement the #chapel-developers channel that has 
been hosted there for some time now.  The #chapel channel is designed for 
lightweight Q&A among the Chapel community, focused particularly on issues 
of using the language and compiler.  Meanwhile #chapel-developers 
continues to be focused primarily on discussion about the development of 
Chapel.  To join either, point your favorite IRC app to #chapel or 
#chapel-developers at chat.freenode.net.

(Given the lossy nature of chatrooms, note that if you have a question for 
which a response is important, the standard Chapel contact and community 
mailing lists continue to be your best option).


Google Summer of Code
---------------------
Finally, a quick reminder that Google Summer of Code applications are due 
this Friday and that Chapel is a participating organization this year:
