[Nek5000-users] Nek5000 Hackathon, November 12-14, 2017

Sat Oct 14 10:40:09 CDT 2017

Dear Nek Developers and Users,

We are excited to announce the first-ever Nek5000 Hackathon.

When: Nov. 12 (1 PM, Sunday) -- Nov. 14 (5pm, Tuesday), 2017
Where: NCSA Building, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), IL, USA

Hackathon Goal: The event will bring together users and developers with the intent to help new and current users bring their applications into production mode.  It will also give users a chance to provide the development team with feedback on what features or enhancements they would like to see in future releases.

Format: We are asking each of the participants (or as a team) to develop a small example demonstrating the phenomena of interest that could be shared with the rest of the user community through the NekExamples Suite. There will not be a formal presentation agenda.  We anticipate, however, several rounds of short  presentations describing the problems of interest, the features that make the problem interesting and challenging, and the anticipated ways in which the Nek team can help.  Please bring your laptops and come prepared to access your usual work sites remotely, from UIUC.

Cost: There is no formal registration fee.  Lunches will be covered.  We may collect a nominal fee for group dinners on Sunday and Monday.

Registration:  In order to anticipate the number of attendees, we will post a registration site in the coming week.  Please stay tuned for details.

Hotels:  There are several hotels in the area that are a short walk from the workshop site (Siebel Center, Day 1; NCSA Days 2 & 3).

Hampton Inn on University ~ 5 minute walk.
Illini Union ~ 10 minute walk.
Towne Place Suites by Marriott, Champaign 15 minutes
I Hotel - 2 miles
Sylvia's Irish Inn B&B 10 minutes

We look forward to seeing you next month!

Sincerely,

The Nek Development Team
