Hi everyone,
Sorry to join this conversation late. I've talked about this (very
briefly!) with Joel Primack for HIPACC funding, and he was very supportive
that this we should write up a proposal. He comes back from China next
week, so I can bring it up again then.
Santa Cruz is a bit warmer than Chicago in January...

Hi all,
We've had a good number of responses so far, all of them "Yes!". If you're a regular contributor to either the mailing list or the code base, it would be really beneficial to submit a "Nope" response if you know you wouldn't be able to attend.

I like this idea a lot. We had a really good success with this year's workshop, and I think we can build on that with a development-focused workshop sometime early next year. I particularly like the way Nathan posed it:
"...to have a group of us in a room together for a few days to hash out new features, discuss where the code is going, hear about the science yt is enabling, and make some solid progress on improving the code."
My life is going to be a little bit complicated for a couple months, but I think aiming for a Winter quarter workshop would be best, as I think that will minimize conflicts with the usual fall obligations/cycle. Unless there are strong arguments to hold the workshop in New York / Boulder, we should probably look into hosting in California somewhere. (One respondent to the usage workshop we had this year was, "Chicago in January? Really?") I think we should certainly investigate HIPACC as an opportunity for funding, as well as the NSF; once we have figured out if we're going to hold it and where, we can begin those processes.
Before we start digging in to properly planning something, we should definitely get a better idea of who would be interested in attending. I've set up a little survey here:

Responses both for and against are useful information. In a few days we'll see how things have turned out and we can take it from there.

Matt and I talked about doing a yt-dev workshop at some point in the near-ish future. I am definitely +1 to this idea.
Be Well Anthony

Hi Kacper,
Right now there are no official plans for a yt workshop. However, a
few
of us have discussed the possibility of having a development-focused workshop for ~20 people at UC Santa Cruz for 3-4 days sometime in the Winter quarter (Jan - Mar 2013). I put forward UCSC as a possible location since there are a decent number of active users/developers here and in the Bay area, however I think a meeting in Boulder or NYC probably makes just as much sense. For any of the options, we will need to look into funding for travel, hotels, etc for the participants. I know that we applied for an NSF grant for the users workshop, is that still possible this time around? If it's going to be in California and we can make a case that there will be a good number of participants from UCs, we can probably apply for funding from HIPACC, although we need to discuss this possibility further with Joel Primack.
I guess this is as good a time as any to ask: how do people feel about having a dev workshop sometime in the Winter quarter? If you're supportive, do you have any preference for a location? Personally I think it will be very productive to have a group of us in a room together for a few days to hash out new features, discuss where the code is going, hear about the science yt is enabling, and make some solid progress on improving the code.
Cheers,
Nathan

Hi all, I'd like to ask if there are any plans on organizing 2nd yt workshop? It's this time of the year when I need to apply for grants at my university and I'd very much like to include such event in the application :) Cheers, Kacper
