The [http://tel.foss.org.il/ Tel Aviv Open Source Club] will host [http://wiki.osdc.org.il/index.php/Tel_Aviv_Meeting_on_22_July_2010 a talk about GarlicSim] by [http://cool-rr.com Ram Rachum ("cool-RR")] on Thursday, 22-July-2010, at 19:00 in [http://www.shenkar.ac.il/ Shenkar College in Ramat Gan (12 Ann Frank St.)] room 300 ('''note''' the change of time and place from the previous meetings - we are now meeting in Shenkar college, on a Thursday and on 19:00.). There's [http://www.shenkar.ac.il/template/default.aspx?maincat=5&catid=32 a map with directions on the Shenkar college's site]. Further details, maps for arrival, etc. can be found [http://wiki.osdc.org.il/index.php/Tel_Aviv_Meeting_on_22_July_2010 on the Wiki].
Attendance is free, it is not necessary to RSVP and everyone are welcome. With any other problems, feel free to [http://www.shlomifish.org/me/contact- me/ contact the organiser]. == Abstract == [http://garlicsim.org/ GarlicSim] is a Pythonic framework for computer simulations. It is an ambitious open-source project in the field of scientific computing, specifically computer simulations. It attempts to redefine the way that people think about computer simulations, making a new standard for how simulations are created and used. GarlicSim is a platform for writing, running and analysing simulations. It is general enough to handle any kind of simulation: Physics, game theory, epidemic spread, electronics, etc. You may be wondering, what do these simulations have in common? We'll try to answer this question in this lecture. We will see examples of some simulations in GarlicSim and the tools that it provides for running and analysing them. == About the Lecturer == [http://cool-rr.com Ram Rachum] is a Python developer. He mainly works on GarlicSim, but he's also known for having created [http://pythonturtle.org PythonTurtle], in order to spread Python to thousands of children and adults around the world. ---- We are always looking for people who will volunteer to give presentations on various topics that are related to open source code and to computers. In case you are interested to give a talk, or that you have a suggestion for a talk that interests you, we'll be happy to hear from you. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ What does "Zionism" mean? - http://shlom.in/def-zionism God considered inflicting XSLT as the tenth plague of Egypt, but then decided against it because he thought it would be too evil.
