<p>Dear All,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are currently about 20 registrants for the upcoming</p>
<p>Hackathon, which starts Sunday, November 12 at 1 PM in</p>
<p>4405 Siebel Hall at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign.</p>
<p>(This is the UIUC computer science building, 4th floor.) It's still not </p>
<p>too late to sign up. If you wish to join, please register so that we can have an accurate head count for the meals.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Parking is free on Sunday, so you can park most anywhere near</p>
<p>Siebel. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sunday evening dinner will be at Pizza M in Urbana - a 13 minute </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">walk from Siebel. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Monday and Tuesday we will meet at 9 AM in the first floor of the NCSA
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">building, which is next door to Siebel. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As mentioned in an earlier post, we'd like to start off with people taking a two or three minutes to stand up and describe the problem they'd like to tackle during the hackathon (e.g., particle tracking, turbulence in a given
domain, etc.) so that we can self organize into small focus groups. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also, we'll have a few requests from the development team for assistance with certain tasks aimed toward getting out the latest release and with developing new examples to be posted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Nek development team.</span></p>
