Schedule
This tentative schedule is suject to change.
The workshop will run 9 AM to 6 PM on Sunday 16 March, with a meet-up the evening before for those arriving earlier on Saturday. The Sunday morning session will be an introduction and tutorial (bring a laptop to follow along and try things out). After lunch we invite lightning talks from attendees (show off what you have tried to do with Cantera, or what you would like to do with Cantera), and will have a session on how to contribute to Cantera. The afternoon will be a presentation of what’s new in Cantera, including demonstrations of the latest features and capabilities.
