Sage Days 12: San Diego
Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages into a common Python-based interface.

On Jan 21, 2pm - 5pm, there will be three colloquium-style talks aimed at a general audience:
2pm: Introduction to Sage (William Stein, Univ. of Washington, Project Founder and Director)
3pm: The "Killer Apps" in Sage: Cython, Interact, and 3d Graphics (Craig Citro, UCLA, Developer)
4pm: The Sage Community (Michael Abshoff, Dortmund, Sage Release Manager)

Goals and Structure
The structure of the workshop is as follows: there will be very few lectures, and the rest of the day is spent with intense working sessions. This will consist mostly of:
- Fix bugs in Sage: there are hundreds of known documented bugs in Sage; let's fix them.
- Write doctests: the coverage score of sage as of Jan 1 2009 is 64.3%; let's get this to 80% by writing about 3400 new doctests
Though a small group will focus on discussing and implementation Jean-Charles Faugere's F5 algorithm for computing Gröbner bases, by far the main goal of this workshop is fixing bugs and writing doctests, which will uncover numerous additional bugs.
