I'm interested in observing (in the United Nations sense of the word) this session. Thursday after the dinner is a bit of a strain since I need to drive back to West LA (30 min) and be up again at 6:30 the next morning. If it's not many people, we could get an early lunch (about 11:30 I think) from the catering truck and find a table in the courtyard of Watson, adjacent to Steele. Tom

I would prefer to meet Thursday after dinner.

Hi everyone,

I haven't heard anything regarding an astronomy BoF session since Joe's AstroPy post on 26 June regarding astronomy libraries. However, at least Joe, Perry and I are interested in talking and I suspect there are others (AplPy people?). Up for discussion will be issues like co-ordinating library development, as different groups help ramp up the functionality available to match IRAF or IDL.

Who else is interested? Do you have existing plans to meet at SciPy? What days are you available? So far I believe the three of us are available on Thursday and Friday. How about Thursday evening? Does anyone know what time the dinner on Thursday is?

Thanks,

James.
