Here's the original announcement btw.: Sage days 10 in Nancy (France) Announcement ===========================================
October 10 to 15, 2008 at the Lorraine Laboratory of IT Research and its Applications (Loria) Sage is a python based software distribution that combines a large number of free and open source computer algebra packages in a unified whole. The primary goal is to create a viable open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB. Systems like Maxima, Singular, and Octave and libraries such as LAPACK and GMP are integrated into a common python-based facade. The Sage notebook browser can create embedded graphics and interactive typeset mathematics. Sage is available on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. See <http://sagemath.org> for details. Program: * October 10: Linear Algebra (chair Clement Pernet) * October 11: Groebner Bases (chair Ludovic Perret) * October 12: Elliptic Curves (chair Laurent Fousse) * October 13-15: Coding Sprints (chair Michael Abshoff) Each "talk" day (October 10 to 12) typically has 2 invited speakers, who are specialists in the corresponding domain, not necessarily already in contact with SAGE, and 3 contributed speakers, who typically describe an existing or proposed SAGE module. Following the talk days will be coding sprints. This is an opportunity to interact with the current development team, work on live code contributions, and become involved and connected to this worldwide effort.
