Dear Axiom Users and Developers, Based on Gaby's suggestion I wrote to the ISSAC 2007 conference organizers asking to schedule a meeting about Axiom during the conference next week, to which they agreed. It is tentatively scheduled for Monday (July 30) 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM with conference room still to be determined.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know if you are interested and able to attend. Thank you. Regards, Bill Page. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: George Labahn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jul 24, 2007 3:00 PM Subject: Re: Axiom meeting during ISSAC 2007 To: Bill Page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Bill, There is no problem finding you a room and even putting you opposite the Maple tutorial meeting. Please just tell me if it will happen. George L On Mon, 23 Jul 2007, Bill Page wrote:
Dear Program Committee; Gabriel Dos Reis and I and probably several more Axiom developers and users will be attending ISSAC 2007. Although we have not previously asked for such an arrangement, we were wondering if on short notice it might be possible to schedule and announce in the ISSAC 2007 program a short meeting for interested participants on the topic: Axiom, present and future! Recently there has been some discord between members of the Axiom open source project concerning project goals, organization, and tools, resulting in a project fork. This has left both developers and users somewhat uncertain about the future of the Axiom open source project. An open meeting during ISSAC 2007 would be a timely opportunity to "clear the air" and help set new directions and priorities. ----- In order to have as little impact as possible on the published schedule, perhaps the meeting could be organized for Monday (July 30) evening overlapping the Maple Tutorial, 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Depending on the number of participants we would hope that the meeting would be mostly a self-organized workshop except perhaps for a designated chairperson. I expect that a small room accommodating at most 20 - 30 people would be adequate. Please let us know if this arrangement will be possible or if you could suggest something similar but more suitable. I understand that this might be difficult on such short notice so if this doesn't work out, then of course there will also be informal opportunities for us to meet during the conference. Thank you. Regards, Bill Page.
