Hi!

You're welcome!  It's the kind of thing I enjoy (especially when I should 
be doing something else).  

Sound and practical is good (and in fact, you could take out and 
practical if you wanted -- I also like sound by itself).  Sane just 
sounded odd.  

I think I now get the idea of mutualization, and I see that you have 
something a bit more specific in mind than co-operation. 

To me networking is not quite right -- I think of networking as meaning 
chatting up people who might give me a job one day.  

The meaning of pooling is good, but it's a little wierd because it's not 
quite a dead metaphor.  So it really does conjure up pools of liquid for 
me.  This could be avoided by saying something like Knowledge pooling, 
but that just sounds wierd.  I like Knowledge sharing, though it's a bit 
awkward with the Sharing in the next sentence.  How about Collective 
code development?  

(It's interesting to me that French distinguishes partage from 
mutualization -- for the most part, I think we would use sharing for 
either one in English.)

cheers,

Hugh

 Dear Sage-Combinat devs, 

 I have been longing for a while for a Sage-Combinat poster to be used 
 at various occasions (conferences, labs presentations, ...). And 
 actually Dan Bump would need one by tomorrow for an NSF meeting 
 involving the Sage-Combinat grant. 

 So I started one from an old MuPAD-Combinat poster, and stealing stuff 
 from recent documents written by Anne, Gregg, Dan, ... A first draft 
 is available from the misc server: 

 
 http://combinat.sagemath.org/misc/file/56964b30bec7/articles/2013-01-17-Poster/main.pdf
  

 The sources are in the same directory. 

 Comments and suggestions welcome, in particular for the last column 
 devoted to examples with pictures. In case we decide to keep and 
 update the list of logo, please add the appropriate logos in the 
 PICTURES directory.  I probably won't touch the file for the next 
 couple hours, so feel free to hack in. 

 Cheers, 
 Nicolas

Salut Nicolas--

Oh, another minor comment, about something I wasn't sure how (or whether) 
to change.  To me, the mention of Kenya and Burkina Faso seems wierd 
without something more.  I would be inclined either to remove it, or to 
mention something that has happened/is happening there.

cheers,

Hugh
