I think the "Whence SAGE" slide could focus more on milestones/ turning points rather than being basically a list of workshops (though that information could go on a different slide--talking about how active the development is (e.g. with #users/downloads/developers and/or patches). Some significant events might be
- Notebook - SAGE 2.0/2.5 - SAGE foundation - Calculus/libsingular/scipy/?? big package that is important to them - ... Not sure if it'd be good to put it in the slides, but I think it's important to note for "Some Shor tcomings of SAGE" that if thinks are bad, the user can (if they want) fix it themselves. Also, the number of partitions is a good example of the fact that often things don't remain slower once they are brought to our attention. (Flint too, eventually). "The SAGE Notebook" Given the audience, it might be worth putting that this is over SSH into the first bullet point. - Robert On Aug 17, 2007, at 1:01 AM, William Stein wrote: > Hi, > > I just wrote slides for a 20-minute talk on SAGE I'm giving > tomorrow morning. > The target audience is vastly different from that of the last talk I > gave (at CECM). > Imagine an audience that could care less about cost, and just wants > the best > possible tools for the job.
