* We need to fill up the timetable. Not knowing how you organized the previous Octave conferences and not being Octave developers, we rely on you guys. From our side, I just reiterate what John Evans wrote on Nov 22, | |||
[OPENING SESSION - for which we reserved the CERN Main Auditorium] | |||
I have some comments regarding the session concerning the potential use of Octave at CERN. Would it be possible that this be made an open session? We have 4-500 MATLAB users so there is hope that it could be well attended. | |||
I could try and find some user(s) at CERN using Octave for a "big" project that they'd be willing to present. Failing that, maybe an Octave expert could present Octave and its uses and future developments. | |||
[WE SHOULD FORESEE THIS DISCUSSION] | |||
Would anybody be willing and brave enough to look at CERN-supplied MATLAB code and see if it could be done in Octave? | |||
[POSTER SESSION AND SOCIALIZING] | |||
How many posters are there usually in the poster session? | |||
Would it make sense to have this "how Octave can replace MATLAB (and other) tools" session followed by the poster session? | |||
We could arrange refreshments to encourage people to hang around for possible follow-ups. | |||
*regarding "social activities" : | |||
** We can offer, as I mentioned, a visit to some interesting CERN sites. This can take from a few to several hours. It could be planned for Wednesday afternoon. | |||
** For the evening of Monday, or of Tuesday, we thought we could have a "Fondue" dinner downtown Geneva. There are good and affordable Fondue restaurants that can be reached by tram within 30/40 minutes from CERN. | |||
** During the daytime: CERN offers many areas where people can socialize and/or discuss, informally. For instance, the CERN main restaurant is open until 11pm. | |||
