Notes from the Last Meeting for this 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): NOTE: I just found that helium baloons are illegal in the convention center.
- Stickers (slide into name-badge, then affix at home)
- Sage-related textbooks
- Have a 5-step Quickstart guide to using Sage:
- Log into sagenb
- Find a quick-start published worksheet
- Evaluate a cell
- Create a new cell and evaluate 1+1
- Create a new cell and evaluate a cool plot
- Create a new cell and calculate rref of a matrix
