William, Looks good. First, the one thing I'd say is missing is some sort of comparison in an arena where SAGE does well -- you may already be planning this in a demo. My thought is this: you give a fair and balanced view of SAGE's shortcomings, but you don't stop to brag about the things that SAGE excels at. I think it's perfectly reasonable to brag, at least a bit. ;) Other than that, just a few minor edits:
1) It's van Rossum, not van Rosum (slide 3) 2) Sage provides "serious computING power" (slide 8) 3) On the last slide, I would rephrase part of the third bullet in 3 to something like "like Python (which receives funding from Google, as well as several other major companies)" -cc 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.
