Sage at the joint meetings in Boston, 2012

We are planning to have a booth this year. We'll be opposite the WeBWorK booth, and will probably share some resources, at the very least bodies for the booth.

See below for a schedule you can sign up on.

Basic info

The meeting is January 4-7, 2012.

AMS website for the meeting: http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/jmm

The exhibit hours are probably

  • 12:15-5:30 We
  • 9:30-5:30 Th
  • 9:30-5:30 Fr
  • 9:00-12:00 Sa

Tentative Schedule - please sign up!

Please put times you can help in chronological order. It would be best to have two people at the booth at all times.

Early list of people who will be at the meetings and can help with the booth:

  • Karl-Dieter Crisman (can help some with setup We, and most of the day Th, Fr, Sa)
    • I will have a projector and screen!
  • Benjamin Jones (can help Thurs, Fri, or Sat morning)
  • Marshall Hampton (some afternoons)
  • William Stein (I'm running a short course starting on Jan 2...; I will help with the booth when I can.): I can *also* have a projector, but I don't have a screen. I have the big Sage Banner.
  • Eva Curry
  • Alyson Deines
  • Jennifer Balakrishnan
  • Rado Kirov
  • Michael Boratko
    • I also have a projector, but no screen, if needed.

Notes from the Last Meeting for this meeting

Notes, ideas, reminders for the next iteration, in no particular order.

  • Pay for a small table (small was less of a barrier, but barely sufficient)
  • Pay for two chairs (even though expensive)
  • Have 3d glasses---they drew lots of people to the table and into conversation.
  • Business cards were popular and ran out, these are critical
  • Take a projector to have a large screen
  • Or arrange for a local to bring a flat-panel screen (with stand)
  • Hooks or string for banner
  • Decorations (helium balloons, bright candy, etc): NOTE: I just found that helium baloons are illegal in the convention center.
  • Stickers (slide into name-badge, then affix at home)
  • Sage-related textbooks
  • Have a 5-step Quickstart guide to using Sage:
    1. Log into sagenb
    2. Find a quick-start published worksheet
    3. Evaluate a cell
    4. Create a new cell and evaluate 1+1
    5. Create a new cell and evaluate a cool plot
    6. Create a new cell and calculate rref of a matrix
