[Yt-dev] Interest in a yt Workshop?

[Marcel Haas]

Hi all,


In whatever form we are going to this, I am pretty sure my grant will not
have money for travel. If you know of any source for money that I can get
some from it will be more than welcome. If the meeting is in NYC, it's
very cheap for me (I can get there for $17 by bus, so it's only the stay).

CA or CO would make it quite a bit more pricy for me. In Europe, there are
some very specific numerical astrophysics funds, but I don't know of any
in the US....

On the practical side: I have been looking into using yt, but I think the
learning curve is steep-ish for new users (especially if they are not
familiar to Python either...). I think I will not be 'motivated' enough to
dive deep in, unless there are a couple of days devoted to this.



Cheers, Marcel
