Re: [flint-devel] Workshop in Bristol

[Bill H. <goo...@go...>]

In particular, one of the organisers of the conference, Gabor Wiese
has suggested we go along for the afternoon of Tuesday the 19th, since
the most implementation specific talks and SAGE related talks will be
on that day.

Here is the web page for the conference http://maths.pratum.net/CMF/

and if you go to "Programme", you'll see what's on that day.

I propose we get there in time for Nils-Peter's talk at 11:30am which
will be technical (so you can see what that's like) and stay for most
of the afternoon but before they break into groups and start working.

We can leave if it starts to get too boring. The most important thing
to keep in mind is that maths conferences are usually highly
specialised and so often even I won't know what is going on. But at
least the implementation talks will be talking about actual computer
algebra systems, which is something you all know something about by
now.

You don't have to come, but if you are available, please let me know
so I can tell Gabor how many will be coming.

Bill.
