Dear Sage-edu, It's been great to see the renewed activity the last four months or so, incuding much that came out of the Joint Meetings and now the ongoing Primer project.
I've had two projects on the back burner that I would now like to work on for the next month or two, and welcome any assistance or ideas for. 1. The Journal of Online Mathematics and its Applications (JOMA) is now part of Loci, the MathDL (national digital library, NSF/MAA funded). As far as I know, they have not yet had anything on Sage. I spoke with one of the editors about this in January and he sounded quite interested. See Loci: Developers (http://www.joma.org/mathDL/ 55/) and Loci: Resources (http://www.joma.org/mathDL/47/) for examples, including no fewer than three articles by Geogebra's M. Hohenwarter and his collaborators, from 2007. I could also envision some things landing under "Commentaries" etc., but for now I think that an intro to using Sage and some more technical article like this one: http://www.maa.org/joma/Volume7/Hohenwarter2/index.html would be appropriate to submit. 2. The MAA has a series of PREP workshops that it sponsors, see http://www.maa.org/prep/ for more details. I have spoken with the program officer of this, and they are particularly keen on online ones (among other reasons, more bang for the buck). This summer there will be one on Geogebra (http://www.maa.org/prep/2009/geogebra.html - wdj, you know the organizer) and there doesn't seem any reason that one on Sage would not be seriously considered as long as we had our act together. They have not announced any dates yet but it sounds like early summer would be the best time for initial proposals. I also have some other materials from the Geogebra organizer, so I think this would be a real possibility, though it would require a LOT of work on the part of the organizers in terms of logistics for running an online workshop (they usually run a week) in the summer of 2010. Alternately, if there is a Sage Days concurrent with it, that could work too, but I don't know that usual Sage Days funding sources would be usable for this. Again, if anyone has ideas or would like to help put something like one of these together, please reply off-list. - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
