This event will follow [[http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/about/conferences/fpsac2009/|FPSAC'09]], and be part of [[http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/about/conferences/summer2009/|RISC's summer 2009]].

== Goals ==

 * get new users and developers on board, especially from the FPSAC community
 * help former MuPAD-Combinat users to switch to Sage
 * developers meeting

== Prerequisites ==

All attendees are expected to have Sage >= 4.1 and the Sage-Combinat patches installed on their laptops. If you do not plan to bring a laptop, please contact the organizers, and we will have a terminal setup for you. Please come see us for help during FPSAC if you encounter any problem!

Sage 4.1 will be available shortly from: http://www.sagemath.org/download.html

See http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/MercurialStepByStep for the installation instructions of Sage-Combinat. On UNIX/Mac, it boils down to running the following command in a terminal:
{{{
sage -combinat install
}}}

== Tentative program ==

 * Saturday:
   * Sage and Sage-Combinat introductory talks
   * Hands on tutorials

 * Sunday:
   * Informal Sage-Combinat lab: come work on your own problem with experts at your full disposition
   * Relaxed afternoon (to recover from a long FPSAC week)

 * Monday-Wednesday:
   * Informal Sage-Combinat lab
   * Technical talks
   * Short focused tutorials (see below)
   * Coding sprints
   * Design discussions

== Preliminary list of short tutorials ==

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, Nicolas)
 * 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
 * using the GenericBacktracker class to generate lattice paths and other objects (Dan Drake)?
