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
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 everyone,
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:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHpZMjc4czJMQ2MtWERReVd...
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.

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 everyone,
Okay, after a week or so we've had 13 positive responses. January is the worst month, so I'd like to suggest we investigate either February or March. California is the clear winner for locations, which I think will also help out a lot with funding and with overall atmosphere.
I'd like to propose we start talking about one of the following three weeks -- we should then narrow down to a subset of days in the week. Can anyone think of existing conflicts for, or obvious preferences among:
1) February 18-22 2) March 4-8 3) March 25-29
(An advantage of this time frame is that the elephant seals will be at Año Nuevo, if we end up spending time at Santa Cruz.) Once we have narrowed down the week, we can write a proposal to HIPACC as Chris suggested, and proceed from there.
I think this could be a very, very successful meeting for our community.

Hi all,
Okay, what about the second set of dates? March 4-8?
Although, to be perfectly honest, after how active the list has been and how many things there have been discussed that would benefit from -- or may even *require* -- in person contact, I am a bit bummed that we can't get together sooner, to do things like talk about testing, release schedules, better SPH/particle support, codifying analysis modules and figuring out some packaging issues.
In December there's a scientific software workshop at TACC:
http://scisoftdays.org/meetings/2012/
Is anyone interested in going, and if so, perhaps having an in-person meeting in the area held in conjunction with this? Or, if not, then maybe triyng to have a west coast meeting in December? By then I think the job scramble should have subsided considerably (certainly I am counting on it for myself!) even if it picks up again a bit later.

Okay, after a week or so we've had 13 positive responses. January is the worst month, so I'd like to suggest we investigate either February or March. California is the clear winner for locations, which I think will also help out a lot with funding and with overall atmosphere.
I'd like to propose we start talking about one of the following three weeks -- we should then narrow down to a subset of days in the week. Can anyone think of existing conflicts for, or obvious preferences among:
- February 18-22
- March 4-8

(An advantage of this time frame is that the elephant seals will be at Año Nuevo, if we end up spending time at Santa Cruz.) Once we have narrowed down the week, we can write a proposal to HIPACC as Chris suggested, and proceed from there.

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:

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.

Although, to be perfectly honest, after how active the list has been and how many things there have been discussed that would benefit from -- or may even *require* -- in person contact, I am a bit bummed that we can't get together sooner, to do things like talk about testing, release schedules, better SPH/particle support, codifying analysis modules and figuring out some packaging issues.
In December there's a scientific software workshop at TACC:
http://scisoftdays.org/meetings/2012/
Is anyone interested in going, and if so, perhaps having an in-person meeting in the area held in conjunction with this? Or, if not, then maybe triyng to have a west coast meeting in December? By then I think the job scramble should have subsided considerably (certainly I am counting on it for myself!) even if it picks up again a bit later.

Got the following email, it's HiPACC soliciting proposals, I thought would be useful for the workshop. Thought someone was already looking into it, but just in case.
From G.S. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Requests for Proposals Fall '12/Winter '13
Dear Astrophysics faculty, staff and students:
We at the University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center (UC-HiPACC) are issuing our biannual Call for Proposals for the Fall '12/Winter '13 funding period. A goal of HiPACC's small grants program is to support working groups of UC scientists from multiple campuses to pursue joint projects in computational astrophysics, broadly defined. UC-HiPACC funding can also provide limited matching funding for astrocomputer equipment, and provide career-shaping opportunities for students in which they learn from leading faculty members, master skills not taught on their own campus, line up writers for crucial letters of recommendation, and form other contacts and alliances that can powerfully shape their future careers. [https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/images/cleardot.gif]
The online application is open. Please go tohttp://hipacc.ucsc.edu/RFP_Fall2012.html for more information on the Call for Proposals.
Following instructions in the above site, proposers may apply for funding in categories 1-4 (small travel grants, working group grants, matching grants for astrocomputing equipment purchases, innovative initiative grants). Applications may also be submitted for the funding of Undergraduate Summer Astrocomputing Projects.
The deadline for applications is November 9, 2012. Applications will not be accepted after this date. Every effort will be made to notify applicants by December 13, 2012.
Please remember that if you have previously received UC-HiPACC funds, you must include a report with your application which documents the benefits that were realized.
If you have any questions about the application process, do not hesitate to contact us at hipacc@ucsc.edu https://physics-mail.ucsd.edu/iceblue/src/compose.php?send_to=hipacc%40ucsc.edu <mailto:hipacc@ucsc.edu https://physics-mail.ucsd.edu/iceblue/src/compose.php?send_to=hipacc@ucsc.edu
. Please forward this announcement to
anyone in astrophysics from UC or DOE labs who may be interested.
Best regards,
Joel Primack, UC-HiPACC Director

I'd be interested in collaborating on the proposal and serving as an LOC representative if we decide to have the meeting at UCSC.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to set up a hangout to discuss the proposal, establish a budget, and figure out who is going to work on which parts.

Subject: Requests for Proposals Fall '12/Winter '13
Dear Astrophysics faculty, staff and students:
We at the University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center (UC-HiPACC) are issuing our biannual Call for Proposals for the Fall '12/Winter '13 funding period. A goal of HiPACC's small grants program is to support working groups of UC scientists from multiple campuses to pursue joint projects in computational astrophysics, broadly defined. UC-HiPACC funding can also provide limited matching funding for astrocomputer equipment, and provide career-shaping opportunities for students in which they learn from leading faculty members, master skills not taught on their own campus, line up writers for crucial letters of recommendation, and form other contacts and alliances that can powerfully shape their future careers. [https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/images/cleardot.gif]
The online application is open. Please go to http://hipacc.ucsc.edu/RFP_Fall2012.html for more information on the Call for Proposals.
Following instructions in the above site, proposers may apply for funding in categories 1-4 (small travel grants, working group grants, matching grants for astrocomputing equipment purchases, innovative initiative grants). Applications may also be submitted for the funding of Undergraduate Summer Astrocomputing Projects.
The deadline for applications is November 9, 2012. Applications will not be accepted after this date. Every effort will be made to notify applicants by December 13, 2012.
Please remember that if you have previously received UC-HiPACC funds, you must include a report with your application which documents the benefits that were realized.
If you have any questions about the application process, do not hesitate to contact us at hipacc@ucsc.edu <mailto:hipacc@ucsc.edu
. Please forward this announcement to
anyone in astrophysics from UC or DOE labs who may be interested.
Best regards,
Joel Primack, UC-HiPACC Director

In December there's a scientific software workshop at TACC:

Hi everyone,
Okay, after a week or so we've had 13 positive responses. January is the worst month, so I'd like to suggest we investigate either February or March. California is the clear winner for locations, which I think will also help out a lot with funding and with overall atmosphere.
I'd like to propose we start talking about one of the following three weeks -- we should then narrow down to a subset of days in the week. Can anyone think of existing conflicts for, or obvious preferences among:
- February 18-22
- March 4-8
- March 25-29
(An advantage of this time frame is that the elephant seals will be at Año Nuevo, if we end up spending time at Santa Cruz.) Once we have narrowed down the week, we can write a proposal to HIPACC as Chris suggested, and proceed from there.
I think this could be a very, very successful meeting for our community.

Hi Nathan,
That would be great if you would be on the LOC. I think UCSC would be a gorgeous venue for a development workshop.
I see three options:
1) December for everything: give everybody a nice, wintertime California visit. (This option is new!) 2) December for low-key meetup like I mentioned earlier for whoever might be in the area or wants to come, with a proper, funded Development workshop on the March dates. 3) March-only.
I think #2 is the easiest.
Let's do a hangout -- would you be willing to organize it?

The online application is open. Please go to http://hipacc.ucsc.edu/RFP_Fall2012.html for more information on the Call for Proposals.
Following instructions in the above site, proposers may apply for funding in categories 1-4 (small travel grants, working group grants, matching grants for astrocomputing equipment purchases, innovative initiative grants). Applications may also be submitted for the funding of Undergraduate Summer Astrocomputing Projects.
The deadline for applications is November 9, 2012. Applications will not be accepted after this date. Every effort will be made to notify applicants by December 13, 2012.
Please remember that if you have previously received UC-HiPACC funds, you must include a report with your application which documents the benefits that were realized.
If you have any questions about the application process, do not hesitate to contact us at hipacc@ucsc.edu <mailto:hipacc@ucsc.edu
. Please forward this announcement to
anyone in astrophysics from UC or DOE labs who may be interested.
Best regards,
Joel Primack, UC-HiPACC Director

Hi all,
I'm in for it. But no more Chicago bashing regarding the cold (I know that was a while back, but still) :)

Hi Matt.
I would definitely go to a little west coast meetup.

Hi all,
Okay, what about the second set of dates? March 4-8?
Although, to be perfectly honest, after how active the list has been and how many things there have been discussed that would benefit from -- or may even *require* -- in person contact, I am a bit bummed that we can't get together sooner, to do things like talk about testing, release schedules, better SPH/particle support, codifying analysis modules and figuring out some packaging issues.
In December there's a scientific software workshop at TACC:
http://scisoftdays.org/meetings/2012/
Is anyone interested in going, and if so, perhaps having an in-person meeting in the area held in conjunction with this? Or, if not, then maybe triyng to have a west coast meeting in December? By then I think the job scramble should have subsided considerably (certainly I am counting on it for myself!) even if it picks up again a bit later.

Hi all,
I would prefer not the first set of dates. I have a thing in Austin, TX on February 17.

Hi everyone,
Okay, after a week or so we've had 13 positive responses. January is the worst month, so I'd like to suggest we investigate either February or March. California is the clear winner for locations, which I think will also help out a lot with funding and with overall atmosphere.
I'd like to propose we start talking about one of the following three weeks -- we should then narrow down to a subset of days in the week. Can anyone think of existing conflicts for, or obvious preferences among:
- February 18-22
- March 4-8
- March 25-29
(An advantage of this time frame is that the elephant seals will be at Año Nuevo, if we end up spending time at Santa Cruz.) Once we have narrowed down the week, we can write a proposal to HIPACC as Chris suggested, and proceed from there.
I think this could be a very, very successful meeting for our community.
