Hi Erdi,


We discussed the possibility of streaming at the latest Firedrake developer meeting. Unfortunately we don't think it's a practical proposition. We'll be working from the published Firedrake tutorial notebooks: so you already have access to the material. The key advantage of coming to the tutorial is that there is interactive hands on help available from the Firedrake core team. We don't think that we can make that effectively scale to streaming, and attempting to do so would almost certainly detract from the experience of the users in the room. Anyone based anywhere is always welcome to have a go at the tutorials themselves, and to ask for help on the mailing list or in slack. We think that's a more effective way to go for people who can't physically make the training event in person.


Regards,


David

Hi 

Is that possible to broadcast the training via skype, hangouts etc? I am currently in Texas which is a bit away from London. However if I am the only one from outside or if it brings additional burden for the meeting, please ignore this email. Thank you

Dear Firedrakers,


The Firedrake team will be running a half day tutorial introducing the use of Firedrake to solve PDEs using the finite element method. This is primarily targeted at new students starting to work with Firedrake this academic year, but anyone is welcome. If you have any new users in your group or know anyone who might be interested, please point them at this event.


Attendance is free but registration is required. For more information and to register, visit the tutorial web page:

David
