But it's a great idea.
Hours are: 12:15-5:30 Th 9:30-5:30 Fr 9:30-5:30 Sa 9:00-12:00 Su I see that as needing (supposing we aren't *continuously* there) five hours the first day, 2 the last, and 7 the middle two. If we want two people there at a time (which would be best, one for minor questions and one for in-depth, which often happened in the past), that would be 21*2=42 hours of staffing - not counting set-up and take-down. Assuming no one was asked to do more than six hours, that would require seven or eight different people who commit to that much time - and of course to make sure that they overlap properly. We wouldn't want just two or three people to be there for many hours as happened the last time (unless they wanted to be!). That doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, but the point is that funding would be a relatively trivial issue compared to staffing. Any takers? I guess Marshall and I are volunteering, based on our posts :) - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
