I would be very happy to host and organize a Bug Days here sometime in 2013. Timing would depend a bit on how my teaching responsibilities are distributed next year, which is something I don't know yet, but will hopefully find out soon. The second half of 2013 seems more likely, though. It would also be good to steer clear of Northern Hemisphere teaching periods, to give people a chance to attend. -- Best, Alex -- Alex Ghitza -- Lecturer in Mathematics -- The University of Melbourne http://aghitza.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
