<hr />
<div>We are happy to announce the upcoming Octave Conference 2017 to be held at [http://home.cern CERN], near Geneva, Switzerland, from March 20th until March 22nd. The Local Organising Committee is happy and proud that CERN will host this event for at least two reasons: Octave [2] is a fundamental tool of analysis and research for hundreds of CERN scientists; Octave and CERN share and promote the same values of openness, cooperation, diversity, quality and commitment.<br />
<br />
The three-day event will be an opportunity for sharing experiences, planning the future of Octave and promoting its use among the scientific community and beyond. There will two open sessions on Monday and Tuesday showcasing Octave and some interesting and successful Octave stories.<br />
To register officially, please use the CERN conference manager [https://indico.cern.ch/event/609833/ Indico].<br />
In addition, *please* add your name to the Participants section of this page so we can plan appropriately.<br />
<br />
We are working out the details of the programme, and the call for contributions and abstract is still open. You are all invited to submit an abstract and present your experience with Octave at the conference!<br />
<br />
We are hopeful that the key members of the Octave development team will make it, both from oversea and from Europe. You can find more updated information on the programme in the [https://indico.cern.ch/event/609833 CERN's OctConf webpage] and in here.<br />
<br />
== Dates ==<br />
<br />
The conference will run for three days from Monday, March 20th through Wednesday, March 22nd.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
<br />
=== Geneva, Switzerland ===<br />
=== Venue ===<br />
The upcoming Octconf 2017 will take place at [http://home.cern/ CERN] (European Center for Nuclear Research)<br />
<br />
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.<br />
The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.<br />
<br />
Founded in 1954, the CERN laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint ventures and now has 22 member states.<br />
<br />
=== Social activities ===<br />
<br />
Two social events have been foreseen, besides the coffee and the lunch breaks:<br />
* A unique visit to [http://visit.cern/tours CERN]<br />
* A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fondue Fondue] dinner down-town Geneva<br />

A normal lunch at CERN costs about 15 CHF, inclusive of one coffee and one delicious dessert.<br />
<br />
A bus ride from the airport to CERN is free of charge, if you take a ticket at the vending machine in the baggage claim area. Should you miss that vending machine, a ticket will cost you 3.00 CHF. https://genevalunch.com/guides/travel/the-cheerful-traveler-geneva-airport-public-transport/<br />
<br />
<br />
== Accommodation ==<br />
<br />
The conference will take place in the CERN's main site (Meyrin). You can try your luck and search for an accommodation in one of the [http://smb-dep.web.cern.ch/en/CERN_Housing CERN Hostels].<br />
<br />
Should the CERN hostels be full, or should you prefer to stay in Geneva, we advise you to consult your favourite on-line booking portal (www.booking.com, www.tripadvisor.com, www.trivago.com, www.expedia.com etc.) and to contact the hotel directly in order to identify the lowest tariff available for CERN users and collaborators (preferential tariffs may apply in some cases).<br />
<br />
Hotels in the vicinity of "Gare Cornavin" (Geneva's main railway station), or along "Route de Meyrin", are particularly recommended. Tram number 18 links Gare Cornavin to CERN in 20' (see [http://www.tpg.ch/ timetable on the TPG's webpage]). <br />
<br />
Notice that, by staying in hotel, youth hostel or at a campsite, you are entitled to receive a personal and non transferable Geneva Transport Card for free, which will allow you to use the whole public transportation system of Geneva for the length of your stay for free. This includes buses, trams, trains, and yellow taxi-boats - Mouettes. Just ask for it upon arrival on the reception.<br />
<br />
== Suggestions for Sessions ==<br />
<br />
Approximately half of each day will be devoted to presentations. The remainder will be used for informal discussions, code sprints, etc.<br />
<br />
Please propose session topics in the schedule below. The actual time slot you pick is not important--we can re-arrange the schedule later--but we need to know what topics are of interest.<br />
<br />
In addition, if you have a poster, rather than a full presentation, there is a separate sign-up sheet below.<br />
<br />
=== Schedule ===<br />
During the daytime: CERN offers many areas where people can socialize and/or discuss, informally. For instance, the CERN main restaurant is open until 23:00 (11:00 PM).<br />

== Location ==<br />
[[File:mathildenhoehe2.jpg|300px|thumb|left|alt=Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt|Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt]] <br />
=== Darmstadt, Germany ===<br />
Darmstadt is a medium sized German city (154.002 inhabitants, cf [http://www.darmstadt.de/fileadmin/Bilder-Rubriken/Standort/Statistik_und_Stadtforschung/pdf/faltblaetter/ZahlenInKuerze2015-internet.pdf http://www.darmstadt.de]) located in the close neighborhood to Frankfurt, i.e., easy to reach due the airport [http://www.fraport.com/en.html FRA]. It is one of the few cities in Germany that are allowed to call themselves "city of science". The reason is that Darmstadt has clearly dedicated itself to academia and research:, it has a technical university ("TU Darmstadt", founded in 1877) and two universities of applied sciences "h_da" and "Evangelische Hochschule" with 40,616 students in total. Furthermore there are several research institutes, e.g., the [http://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESOC European Space Operations Centre], [http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/index.html EUMETSAT] and the [https://www.gsi.de/en/start/news.htm GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research], which discovered with their heavy-ion accelerator chemical elements like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmstadtium Darmstadtium]. Many technology companies are also located here, e.g. big cooperations like [http://www.telekom.de/ Deutsche Telekom], [http://www.merck.de Merck] but also SMIs like [https://www.cst.com CST] which is a spin-off of TU Darmstadt and the market leader for high-frequency electromagnetic field simulations.<br />
<br />
In former times Darmstadt was the seat of government of the German State [https://english.hessen.de Hessen] and thus has still an active cultural life and in particular important architecture from the beginning of the 20th century. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Louis,_Grand_Duke_of_Hesse dukes of Hesse] were at that time interested in art, in particular the so-called Jugendstil (the German version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Nouveau Art Nouveau]) and funded the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmstadt_Artists%27_Colony Darmstadt Artists' Colony]. It is still located at the [http://www.mathildenhoehe.eu Mathildenhöhe].<br />
<br />
=== Venue ===<br />
The upcoming Octconf 2015 will take place at the Graduate School of Excellence Computational Engineering (CE) at the Technische Universität (TU) Darmstadt <br />
<br />
Graduate School CE<br><br />
[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/49.87756/8.64091 Dolivostraße 15]<br><br />
D-64293 Darmstadt<br />
<br />
[[File:gsce.jpg|160px|thumb|riht|alt=Graduate School of Computational Engineering|Graduate School CE]]<br />
The institution has been recognized as a center for top-level research and scientific excellence by the highly competitive 'Excellence Initiative' of the German Federal and State Governments. The Graduate School enables PhD students to develop their scientific skills in a focused way, and to cooperate under optimal conditions in a highly stimulating interdisciplinary environment (computer science, engineering and mathematics). One lecture hall and two seminar rooms with wifi ([https://www.eduroam.org eduroam]) are reserved for the whole week.<br />
<br />
=== Travelling ===<br />
You can find travel directions [http://www.graduate-school-ce.de/index.php?id=23 here]. The recommended procedure is a flight to [http://www.frankfurt-airport.de/content/frankfurt_airport/de.html Frankfurt's International Airport] and then taking the bus called "[http://www.rmv.de/linkableblob/de/33548-59802/data/AirLiner_Direktbus_Darmstadt_Frankfurt_Flughafen_PDF.pdf Airliner]" to Darmstadt main station. [https://www.hahn-airport.de/Default.aspx?menu=passengers_visitors&cc=en Frankfurt Hahn] is also an option but is approximately 130 km away from Darmstadt and there is no direct connection. To get from Hahn to Darmstadt the best way is to take the [http://www.bohr.de/linienverkehr/buslinie-hahn-frankfurt bus to Frankfurt Hbf], get off at Frankfurt's International Airport stop and take the "Airliner" from there. The conference hotel (see below) is directly at the train station and the venue in 15min walking distance.<br />
<br />
We have prebooked rooms in<br />
* 15 single rooms in the [http://en.intercityhotel.com/Darmstadt/InterCityHotel-Darmstadt InterCityHotel Darmstadt] (booking via e-mail or phone is recommended; code "TU Darmstadt, Octconf 2015) <br />
Email address is: reservations@darmstadt.intercityhotel.de<br />
* 2 rooms in the [http://www.djh-hessen.de/jugendherbergen/darmstadt/ youth hostel Darmstadt]<br />
<br />
== Dates ==<br />
September 21-23, 2015. This is from Monday to Wednesday. Participants are encouraged to attend for all three days, but anyone is welcome for any duration of time. If necessary, invitation letters can be issued.<br />
<br />
Excursions for the technology enthusiasts to ESOC, EUMETSAT and/or GSI are planned.<br />
<br />
== Suggestions for Sessions ==<br />
Code sprints and informal discussion will happen every day. Please propose topics of interest for these sessions.<br />

The official registration period is now over. Participation to the conference is still possible without official registration, but we cannot guarantee hotel reservations, food or the possibility to join the social program.<br />
<br />
== Child Care ==<br />
TU Darmstadt is a family friendly university. If you are planning to attend OctConf with your family/children please contact us. We will be happy to help you to organize child care.<br />
<br />
== Funding ==<br />
There is limited funding to cover the travel expenses of selected participants. The available funds have currently been assigned.<br />
<br />
The following institutions have provided funding so far:<br />
<br />
* the [http://www.graduate-school-ce.de/ Graduate School CE] has granted travel funds for invited speakers<br />
* the Institute [http://www.temf.de Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory TEMF] offers further sponsoring, e.g. for travel grants<br />
* the [https://www.cst.com CST – Computer Simulation Technology AG] will financially support event (Catering, Coffee breaks etc)<br />
<br />
== Questionnaires results ==<br />
<br />
* All participants are compilers of Octave themselves.The main reason for them to participate to the conference is their interest in the development of Octave Core. Besides that also meeting the other developers in real life seems to be a motivation to join.<br />
* The desired timespan for the conference is for almost all the participants 3 days.<br />
* The amount of talks was to all participants adequate.<br />
* 43% of the participants would like to have more code sprints for 57% the amount of sprints were adequate.<br />
* Everyone liked the excursions, however 4 out of 14 participants thinks that the amount was too high.<br />
* The poster session was appreciated by all participants and there is a slight request to extend it.<br />
* There is also a request to define specific goals before the conference. The most proposed tool to share those goal is the wiki.<br />
* About the financing of the conference: 8 of 14 participants do not care where the money is coming from. For those who care, they want the contribution of the conference fees to the financing as low as possible. For the other contributions there is no clear line.<br />
* 10 out of 14 participants loved t-shirts and half of them thinks that we should stuff like this.<br />
