Hi all, there's also some of the SXS channel videos that were produced with the ET. We should cross-post these if no one objects. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxij9hn6fZw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sZmvbtIi1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQQnIHFaVx0 Best, Philipp On

Hi Jens, everyone, i think that is a great idea. I've also met some students who were interested in learning how to use the Einstein Toolkit but were a bit shy to write to the entire list. So partnering "newbies" with a tutor or arrange for a monthly "how-to" hang-out could be a good way to

Dear all, regarding the outreach and visibility topic I have one suggestion concerning the hurdles of getting started with the Einstein Toolkit. Already two times this year I met people who were rather interested in the ET but did not know how to get started. The initial hurdle of starting

Hi Eliu, Frank, thanks a lot for your feedback. This is certainly very helpful. I think it would be nice to have them linked to the website gallery at some point, as eye-catcher for people who are not working within the "traditional" NumRel groups. @Eliu: no, I am not a part of LSC/Virgo.
