To organize it, it would be helpful to have a rough idea of how many
people will attend. If you are considering to join, please add
yourself to the list below, or drop us a line. At this point, it is
likely that we won't have much funding, except for people from
American institutions through our NSF grant. So please mention if you
would need funding for lodging and travel, but don't plan too much on
it!
Lodging
-------

We have negociated a reduced price at the nearby
`Residhome Appart Hotel from Bures-sur-Yvette http://www.residhome.com/reservation1-residence-hoteliere-aparthotel-buressuryvette-183.html`_.
The rate is of 66€ per night (56€ 5 nights or more) for a two person
studio (double bed or twin bed). There is also a reduced rate of 106€
(90€ for 5 nights or more) for a four person apartment (two double
beds; probably not so convenient). Breakfast is not included; see the
web site for the amenities.

You should reserve your room from the link above. To benefit from the
reduced price you just need to mention that you come for the "Sage
Days 49 conference" in the "Question" open field. The price reduction
won't show up on the web but that's ok: you will get the reduction
when you will make the final payment at the counter.

To reduce the expenses you are strongly encouraged to find a room mate
to share a double room with. In particular, for those person that will
get funding from us for lodging, we will most likely reimburse on the
basis of 33 euros per night in order to support more participants.

*Caveat: there are only a limited number of rooms with twin beds, and
they tend to be booked early*. Therefore you are strongly encouraged
to reserve your room as soon as possible, even if you are not
absolutely sure about the dates. You can cancel your reservation later
on (see their web site for details). And in the worst case some other
participant is likely to be happy to take over your reservation.

Sage Days 49: Free and Practical Software for (Algebraic) Combinatorics, June 17th-21st, Orsay

FPSAC 2013 (Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics) is the main yearly international conference in algebraic combinatorics. It will happen this year in Paris, June 24th-28th. We are organizing a Sage-Combinat Days as a satellite event the week before:

Sage Days 49: Free and Practical Software for (Algebraic) Combinatorics Orsay (near Paris) June 17th-21st 2013

This workshop will include Sage tutorials for newcomers, with a slant toward algebraic combinatorics, as well as coding sprints for developers.

Funding

For participants coming from universities in the United States:

  • There is funding from our NSF grant. If you are planning to attend FPSAC 2013 and Sage Days 49 please indicate so in the FPSAC application for support. The deadline for FPSAC support is March 15, 2013.
  • If you missed mentioning you are attending sage days in the FPSAC 2013 application of support please email Anne Schilling (email anne at math.ucdavis.edu) with your CV. The deadline for this is March 30, 2013.

For now this all you need to do to request funding.
