Sage Days 98 : Women in sage (2019)

April 8 - 12, 2019 Archanes, Crete

These Sage days are a special event for women* who develop in SageMath or wish to learn Sage. They will include introduction presentations, training, and team work on specific projects.

This event is fully funded by the OpenDreamKit project.

*This event is primarily targeted at women as to help form a team of women developers and to reduce the gap between men and women developers in Sage Math in particular and in open scientific software in general. It is for all women (trans welcome).
