Hi, I've created a SageMathCloud project that we can use for organization. I've added everybody in "the team" to that:
https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/f125ea34-9817-4715-b879-e26e0c7fcb7c/files/ I've also made a folder "public" https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/f125ea34-9817-4715-b879-e26e0c7fcb7c/files/public/ which is public to the world. Anyway, this will be a good place to record schedules, have chat, layout the topology of the system, record security stuff and decisions, etc. -- William On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 11:55 AM, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > I think the current Sage UW cluster team is: > > - William Stein > - Andrey Novoseltsev > - Dima Pasechnik > - Vincent Delecroix > - Thierry > - Samuel Lelievre > - Harald Schilly > - Andrew Ohana (minimal availability -- but wants to discuss) > > I think that's pretty good actually.
