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.

William hasn't signed up but is planning on being at the booth a lot, and many of the folks after the schedule will also be helping a lot. Thank you to everyone!

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
