questions

[davidp]

I am requesting funding for Sage Days 15 now and have a few questions.

1. At what time do things start on Saturday? I will probably take the
train up from Portland, so I assume it would be best to arrive on
Friday.

2. Having never attended Sage Days before, I don't really know what to
expect. I am trying to decide whether I should stay through
Thursday. Could someone give a brief description of what the days
will be like?

Thanks,
Dave

I propose that we start at *10am* on Saturday, and have a long and
very full day of interesting talks/minicourse/etc.

Saturday and Sunday will have lots of talks/tutorials/etc. During the
week will likely be mostly coding sprints. So if you want to get
involved in an extremely intense coding sprint, stay until Thursday.
