Dear *-Combinat developers,
Thanks to the kind help of Ralf Hemmecke, Burcin Erocal, and Michael
Abshoff, and the support of Peter Paule, it sounds like we will be
able to run a *-Combinat workshop at RISC, right after FPSAC 2009:
*-Combinat 2009
Free Software for Algebraic Combinatorics
Users and Developers Workshop
July 25-29, 2009
We have to fix quickly the rough organization details, and need your
feedback on the following questions:
- Who is interested in participating? How many days?
(in principle; no commitment yet)
- How long a workshop? Should we extend to, say, July 30, to feel a
bit more free to relax a bit on Sunday after a crazy FPSAC week?
- Suggestions to improve the title above:
- Michael thinks it should include Sage, and I fully agree, even
though I want to leave the door wide open for our friends from
sister projects.
Suggestions?
Maybe an extra line "with a slant toward Sage"?
Or replace *-Combinat by (Sage)-Combinat?
- Should we dare to replace line 2 by
Free and Powerful Software for Algebraic Combinatorics
for a FPSAC pun?
> Ralf: I am not so sure about the actual content. What is planned?
Nothing very precise yet: helping former MuPAD-Combinat users to
switch to Sage, getting new users and developers on board, design
discussions, coding sprints. I had in mind few preplanned talks (a
general Sage talk, one for Sage-Combinat, probably some presentations
of specific packages (like one on species). And improvised technical
talks whenever needed. But I haven't though much about this, so it's
wide open to other ideas!
Nicolas
PS: Ralf, others, please feel free to forward to whoever you might see
fit.
