| The structure of the workshop is as follows: there will be a few lectures each day and and the rest of the day is spent with intense working sessions. This will consist mostly of groups working to implement new functionality in Sage, or discussing design decisions for new features. One of the main goals of this workshop is get many bugs as listed on Sage's bug tracker (http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/) fixed. Of course, every participant is free to work on whatever he/she feels most productive working on. For instance, a small group will focus on discussing and implementation Jean-Charles Faugere's F5 algorithm for computing Gröbner bases. |
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. |

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. Sage Days 12 is a mainly developer-oriented workshop for work on the Sage mathematical software system. It will be held at the Calit2 Center at UC San Diego and is funded by CCR La Jolla.
Date and Location
The workshop will be held Jan 21-24, 2009 at Calit2.
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)
Getting there
The conference hotel is The Residence Inn on Gilman, across from UCSD.
- The Cloud 9 Shuttle is probably the most straightforward thing to do --- www.cloud9shuttle.com: "It is possible to make a reservation online, but it's almost always fine to just show up on the sidewalk where all the shuttles show up. I have dim recollections that there are several stops, depending on where you are going, and that you want one labeled "north" or "north county," and that the price is about $25."
- Public transportation (bus): "You can take the 992 from the airport to 4th and Broadway and then take the 30 north to UCSD. It's like an hour and 45 minutes and $4.50."
- Rent a car
- A Taxi -- about $50

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.
