Sage Days 128 in Le Teich (Feb 10-14, 2025), a bird watching reserve near Bordeaux

[Sébastien Labbé]

Hello everyone,

We organize the Sage Days 128, a week of programming around SageMath and other open-source math software such as Pari/GP and FLINT, during the week February 10-14, 2025, in Le Teich, near Bordeaux (France).

Since 2006, more than one hundred Sage Days have been organized around the world to promote the SageMath software to new users. The aim is to showcase the software's capabilities to the curious, offer tutorials for beginners and provide opportunities for collaboration between developers. Once in a while, it is good to meet in person and have human-to-human interactions with other members of the community. So if you've got a hankering for programming, a formal calculus problem you need a helping hand with, or some code lying around that you'd like to share, this is the event for you!

As for the first two editions held in February 2022 and February 2023, the workshop will take place at the Maison de la Nature du Bassin d'Arcachon in the Réserve Ornithologique du Teich, a nice bird watching place near Bordeaux (France).

Full-board accommodation (2 beds per room) is provided for 25 participants. PhD Students are welcome. We aim for a diversity and parity of participants.

Contact the organizers if you would like to come. Participants are responsible for their transport. Further information is available on the page

Best regards,
Sébastien Labbé, Vincent Delecroix and Xavier Caruso

Information for the Sage Days 127 at TU Vienna, Austria (Saturday, 22 February - Tuesday, 25 February, 2025) can be found here: https://wiki.sagemath.org/days127

Sage Days 127 will happen after Sage Days 128. Their number is lower because they were announced before:)

Hi Doris, sorry for answering late!

As mentioned, sage days 127 *will* take place in Vienna, at TU Wien!

If you are interested in coming, please drop me a line - most importantly: whether I may put your name on the list of participants at https://wiki.sagemath.org/days127

Best wishes,

Martin

Hello everyone,

Sage Days 128 occurred last week in Le Teich near Bordeaux gathering 27 participants.

https://wiki.sagemath.org/days128

A final status report is available here:

https://codimd.math.cnrs.fr/s/-dIAr1Z2O#

More than 30 pull requests (PRs) were made during the week, including many by first-time contributors. They are tagged with the keyword sd128:

https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pulls?q=label%3Asd128+

Among the new contributions are the packaging of sagemath within guix GNU/Linux distribution thanks to the work of Andreas Enge and Julian Rüth. This allows sage to be used in many international high performance computing clusters based on guix, see the final report linked above for more information. Julian also packaged SageMath 10.5 for conda-forge.

The structure of the workshop was having lot of free time to advance on projects. To foster the creation of new relations between participants, we split the group into 7 balanced "teams" of not thematically related participants. A status report was done at the end of each day within each team before dinner. A 1-hour pair programming quiz was also organized on Monday with balanced random pairs of participants, because we often learn my looking at how others solve problems.

Among the birds observed during the week are the Bihoreaux gris, the Vanneaux huppés, and the Canard pilet. Some pictures are in the status report.

We thank ANR CODYS, ANR CHARM, ANR PADLEFAN, DEP SIN, l'Institut de mathématique de Bordeaux and the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique for funding the workshop.

Sincerely yours,

Xavier Caruso and Sébastien Labbé
