 * William Stein: any dates during June 13 - June 22, July 3 - July 6.... (I'm now going to ISSAC July 20-23 too).
 * Michael Abshoff: pretty much any date except July 20–23, i.e. ISSAC 2008
 * Martin Albrecht: most dates should be fine after June 14 until August 17 (CRYPTO)
 * Marshall Hampton: Only great dates for me are July 13 - 18th; my summer is very tightly scheduled. I will try to make any weekend date.
 * Craig Citro: Anything after July 4 works great for me.

 * Mike Hansen: any dates at this point
 * Burcin Erocal:
 * David Harvey

Sage Developer Days 1 (aka Sage Days 8.5)

Cython, Exact Linear Algebra, Parallel Computation, and Porting Sage to Microsoft Windows

ORGANIZERS: Robert Bradshaw, William Stein and Tom Boothby

DATES: June 13-20, 2008

LOCATION: Seattle, Washington

However, like with all of Sage development, participants are encouraged to work on whatever they feel will be the most productive way for them to spend their time.

Anybody can participate, but funding will be aimed primarily at people who have demonstrated a substantial ability to contribute to the Sage project. (This is not a general Sage statement -- it's just for this workshop.)

Hotel information

Back during SD2, William recommend the Seattle University Travelodge:

They have free wifi, are very conveniently located. Their rates are also reasonable. The College Inn (http://www.collegeinnseattle.com/) is also a good choice.

There are some other options here:
