Funding
We only have enough funding for participants from the test sites for the NSF UTMOST project and for a few "outside" speakers. The concurrent Sage Days 41 workshop has ample funding for those interested in working all week on projects related to the notebook. However, anyone with an interest in the use of Sage in educational settings is welcome, and encouraged to attend.
Important: Lodging
There is limited availability of hotel rooms in the area close to campus. You will want to make your own arrangements immediately for a room, since we have been unable to reserve a block at any one hotel. Suggestions are available at the travel page.

Logistics
- June 13, 14 and 15 are expected to be full days. So plan to travel on June 12 and June 16.
All sessions are now in SAVERY 132. This building is just north of the campus center interactive campus map.
Sage Days 41 will happen the same week at the University of Washington with the Sage Notebook as its theme.
See the local information page for more specifics.
IRC
There is an IRC channel for sage days: #sagemath-days on irc.freenode.net. Feel free to join to discuss whatever... For those without IRC clients, http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sagemath,sagemath-days
Projects
Sage Days typically allow a great deal of unstructured time to work on projects, either in groups or with the assistance of experts that are available. Please plan to have a project to work on. Examples could be:
- Learning a new area of Sage in preparation for teaching a course.
- Preparing worksheets for a course.
- Learning how to create interacts for the Sage library.
- Learning how to contribute new code to Sage.
(wstein): Work on my free open Sage book: http://code.google.com/p/sage-power-book/
- Organization of Sage educational resources
- rating of worksheets?
- tagging, organization of available options
- suggestion from chemistry: set up committees to curate resources so that faculty get service credit
