More Details (Wiki)

SAGE is free and open software that supports research and teaching in algebra, geometry, number theory, cryptography, etc. Both the SAGE development model and the technology in SAGE itself is distinguished by an extremely strong emphasis on openness, community, cooperation, and collaboration: we are building the car, not reinventing the wheel.

Organizers: William Stein and David Joyner, with lots of help from Alex Clemesha and Josh Kantor.
Please email wstein@gmail.com if you would like to attend (let me know if you would like to give a talk). Add your name to the wiki. Note that attending just on the weekend does make sense.
Rough Schedule: There will be many development-related talks on Friday, which will be mainly related to coding sprint ideas, future of SAGE ideas, etc. Saturday and Sunday will have lots of talks, mainly about applications of SAGE and perhaps just general talks of relevance to computation. The talks will end at 2pm on Sunday, when people leaving will be able to leave easily, and the coding sprints will commence through Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon at 3pm there will be a wrap-up session, during which people will report on their progress during the coding sprints.

T-shirt: Possible t-shirt designs. Also, name_tags.
Funding: I will fund some number of participants via my personal NSF grant (No. 0555776). If you have your own grant support, please use it as this will help save money so I can invite more students. Email wstein@gmail.com to apply for funding. There is no registration fee or deadline to confirm.
