Here is a mini report on Sage Day 65. I'm not an organizer so this is not
official.
Thanks to Anne Schilling for helping to prepare this.

- 24 tickets on trac are tagged with `sagedays65` or `sd65`. Some of these
have
   been positively reviewed and marked as fixed. Some are waiting for review
   (hint, hint). Several of these tickets include contributions from new
users.

- Installation troubles:

     - several people had a hard difficult time installing Sage on their
       machines (8-10 people)

     - there were people who did not have a working development version on
their
       machines by the end of the week (4-5 people); two of these people were
       the organizers of the Sage Days

This is a bummer.  It gives me even more motivation to make
SageMathCloud Sage-developer friendly.    I'm also curious if anybody
has any -- possibly *radical* -- suggestions about how to address this
problem using new ideas.

A radical suggestion for SMC would be to support a compilation cache shared among users. Namely, some dedicated machines (with a lot of disk space for ccache) would just receive compilation orders and send back the results of compilation (using distcc?). That would dramatically reduce the compilation time for anything.
