[julia-users] JuliaCon: Software expectations / attendance lists?

[Randy Zwitch]

Two thoughts as a workshop presenter:

1) What version of Julia should we be using, both so that the presenter 
knows and anyone following along has a similar environment?

2) Along the lines of #1, are all of the talks just going to be a 
free-for-all of attendance? I'm not suggesting that anything rigorous is 
desirable, just wondering how I would communicate to people coming to my 
workshop (hopefully someone!). Or, should we just do environment/package 
setup via GitHub at the beginning of the session?

Until 0.4 is released, I would suggest using the latest 0.3.x release –
that way anyone with some 0.3.x version should be able to follow along.

I think having all on GitHub one Pkg.clone(...) away is the way to go.
Pretty much everyone should be familiar with that and it should only
take 5min (unless it doesn't...).
