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.

Dear Ralf, dear *-combinat developers, > What is your decision for the workshop? Sage-devel-combinat was not > very responsive. Do you still plan to have this workshop? Well, yes. I know the guys out there; they either did not take the time to answer (Florent, hmm?), or are afraid to make plans too much in advance, in particular before knowing whether their FPSAC paper is accepted, etc. I also very much hope to attract people not yet on the lists. > If there are only 4-5 people coming, I don't have a good argument > for convincing the poster producers to put it on the RISC-Summer > poster. Sure. Altogether, I made my own private list (you are on it :-)) and I am ready to bet for minimum 10 people, and probably more like 15-20. But of course, it is hard to predict. So, please keep responding! > I need information (at least for the poster) today. Sorry for my late answer. I hope it's still time. Take whatever decision you see appropriate w.r.t. the above figures. For the title: *-Combinat 2009 Free and Powerful Software for Algebraic Combinatorics Users and developers workshop, with a slant toward Sage July 25-29, 2009 If at all possible with the F P S A C initials highlighted :-) Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas M.

Dear Ralf, > For the title: > > *-Combinat 2009 > Free and Powerful Software for Algebraic Combinatorics > Users and developers workshop, with a slant toward Sage > July 25-29, 2009 > > If at all possible with the F P S A C initials highlighted :-) Btw: if at all still possible, please replace Powerful by Practical (or something better). <rant> It may suggest that I/we *claim* that Sage-Combinat is powerful. I certainly strive at making Sage-Combinat powerful, and will also attempt to prove it by cool demos. But I am not the one to judge on the success. Well, practical is also some sort of bragging, but to a lesser extent; and it also is more precise as an intention: of course you want your soft to be powerful. Being practical is a less utterly obvious goal, when it comes to the balance with beauty and robustness. </rant> Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas M.

I take Free as in Free Software, not Free Beer. If I wanted to be pedantic I would even go for Libre Software. But anyway, here the main reason for including Free at all is for the FPSAC pun. In the rush, I ended up choosing the following for the RISC summer events poster: *-Combinat 2009 International Sage Workshop on Free and Practical Software for Algebraic Combinatorics, July 25-29 Not perfect, but we will make the intention clearer on the web site. > Sage will probably be the star of the event, but I think it is good > to have a broader scope ... Any open source package for > combinatorics is OSSAC even if the system for which the package is > meant is not. Yes. Everybody implementing (algebraic) combinatorics is definitely more than welcome.

Dear *-Combinat users and developers,
I have just created a web page for:
*-Combinat 2009
International Sage Workshop on
Free and Practical Software for Algebraic Combinatorics
July 25-29 (right after FPSAC)
RISC, Linz, Austria
http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/FPSAC09
Please feel free to edit, or contact me by e-mail for comments! In
particular, fill in your name if you think about participating, need
funding, or otherwise have suggestions of talks or other activities.
Hoping to see many of you out there!
Best regards,
Nicolas

Dear *-Combinat users and developers,
Just a reminder about:
*-Combinat 2009
International Sage Workshop on
Free and Practical Software for Algebraic Combinatorics
July 25-29 (right after FPSAC)
RISC, Linz, Austria
http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/FPSAC09
If you want to attend, please register using the RISC conference
management website (see the link from the wiki). If you are
registering to FPSAC or some other conference of the RISC summer,
further registering to *-Combinat is a single click.
Please let us know if you have suggestions of persons we should try to
invite.
Besides the main general-purpose Sage-Combinat tutorial, we will run
short tutorials focused on specific features, with a (flexible) format
like 10 minutes of presentation; 20 minutes of exercises. Here are
some ideas. Please feel free to suggest others, especially around some
features you developed yourself!
* Posets (Franco?)
* Words (Franco?)
* Species and decomposable classes in Axiom / Aldor / Maple / MuPAD (Mike? Ralf? Martin?)
* guess in Axiom / Aldor (Martin?)
* Coxeter groups, crystals (Anne?)
* Symmetric Functions, Non Commutative Symmetric Functions, using algebras with several basis (Jason? Nicolas?)
* categories/parents/elements (Nicolas)
* Implementing enriched enumerated sets, (e.g. how to enrich the partitions of 5 with a semi-groups structure) (Florent?)
* Implementing new combinatorial objects (?)
* Implementing new (Hopf) Algebras with bases (Florent? Nicolas?)
* Sharing code with the Sage-combinat patch server
I just posted this list on the wiki; editing it there is the preferred way.
Best,
Nicolas
