Real-life p-adic Sage Days

[David Roe]

Dear p-adic enthusiasts,

I'm in the process of planning a Sage Days focussed on p-adics.  The current plan is for sometime in the spring of 2012, hosted either at the University of Washington in Seattle or UCSD in San Diego.  There will probably be some talks on computations using p-adics in Sage, but the primary focus will be on bug-fixing and improving the code.

I'll be putting some grant proposals together soon, so if you're possibly interested in attending let me know.  For planning purposes I'd also appreciate it if you could answer the following:

* Do you have a strong preference between Seattle and San Diego?

* Are there dates you already know you'd be unavailable?  I'm already planning on avoiding the conferences listed at the bottom of this e-mail.

* Where would you be coming from?
