Sage at the joint meetings in New Orleans, 2011

We are planning to have a booth this year.

The meeting is January 6-9, 2011.

AMS website for the meeting: http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2125_intro.html

People who will be at the meetings and can help with the booth:

  • Jason Bandlow (Depending on my interview schedule, but I can likely help at least one shift)
  • Rob Beezer (I'll commit to a half-day shift, and will likely be around more)
  • Karl-Dieter Crisman (pretty much all of Saturday, possibly other times)
  • DanDrake

  • Burcin Erocal
  • Marshall Hampton (most of the time)
  • John Perry
    • except Friday 1-3p, Saturday 2.30-4p
  • Flavia Stan (about half the time)
  • Dana Ernst (I can be available for a few hours on Friday; I'll swing by on Thursday to see when I'd be most useful)

The exhibit hours are

  • 12:15-5:30 Th
  • 9:30-5:30 Fr
  • 9:30-5:30 Sa
  • 9:00-12:00 Su

Notes for the Next Meeting

Notes, ideas, reminders for the next iteration, in no particular order.

  • Pay for a small table (small was less of a barrier, but barely sufficient)
  • Pay for two chairs (even though expensive)
  • Have 3d glasses---they drew lots of people to the table and into conversation.
  • Business cards were popular and ran out, these are critical
  • Take a projector to have a large screen
  • Or arrange for a local to bring a flat-panel screen (with stand)
  • Hooks or string for banner
  • Decorations (helium balloons, bright candy, etc)
  • Stickers (slide into name-badge, then affix at home)
  • Sage-related textbooks
  • Have a 5-step Quickstart guide to using Sage:
    1. Log into sagenb
    2. Find a quick-start published worksheet
    3. Evaluate a cell
    4. Create a new cell and evaluate 1+1
    5. Create a new cell and evaluate a cool plot
    6. Create a new cell and calculate rref of a matrix
