Dear all, thanks to those of you who expressed positive interest. The intersection of availability has arrived at one pareto-optimal point. So I propose Mondays 3pm-4pm (UK time) Given that it is already friday, let us kick off on Monday 12th. We just need to do two things: 1. Select a paper 2. Find a volunteer to lead a discussion (I think I will skip a few weeks of leading) I have put some possible suggestions on the reading group wiki page: https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/wiki/Reading-group If any of those strike your fancy you can claim one and present it. Or propose something else (by editing the page). If you don't have access rights, get in touch with me. Cheers, Lawrence

Dear firedrakers,
after our (I think) reasonable success running an online reading group over the summer, I propose continuing it as the Autumn kicks in. Over the summer we read through Joachim Schoeberl's thesis on parameter robust multigrid methods (see https://github.com/firedrakeproject/firedrake/wiki/schoeberl-thesis).
I propose that we switch to going through papers, rather than complete theses.
These sessions are reasonably informal, and I (at least) learned some things this time round.
Given that we've just closed out one topic, I'm soliciting both timeslots for interested parties, and potential papers (and volunteers to lead on the reading!).
If you're interested in participating, please fill in this doodle selecting times that work for you:

(ignore the dates, we'll try and make it a weekly thing)
I'll then try and find a time that suits most people, and we can decide on a paper to start with.
Thanks,
Lawrence
