Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that the summer 2025 yt workshop is now open
for registration!
The workshop will be July 15-18, 2025 at the Higgs Centre for
Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh, UK. Registration
will be open from today through May 17. There is no registration fee,
but participation will be limited to 35 people.
*To register, please visit the workshop webpage:*

yt <https://yt-project.org/> is a community-driven Python package for
analyzing and visualizing
complex spatial data. Since 2007, the yt package has expanded from
supporting just a single astrophysical simulation data format to more
than three dozen formats across several domains, including astronomy,
seismology, nuclear engineering, molecular dynamics, oceanography, and
satellite imaging.
This 4-day workshop will bring together people from all levels of
experience with yt. We will begin with at least a day of tutorials for
new users, followed by time devoted to yt's extension packages with
opportunities for short presentations from participants. The final two
days of the meeting will focus on development, beginning with
activities designed for users interested in contributing to yt or
getting involved in scientific software development. We will then move
into breakout groups to work together on development goals. There will
be opportunities for researchers with data not yet supported by yt to
work with experienced developers to implement yt support. A
preliminary schedule of activities is below. This will be updated
following participant preferences.
