ContributorCampXIV - SasView/sasview GitHub Wiki
November 11-17 2025 at the Technical University of Munich
The fourteenth SasView Contributor Camp (formerly known as code camp) will be held in Garching, Germany, starting Nov 10 on the Technical University of Munich (TUM) campus and is sponsored by the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum Neutronen für Forschung und Innovation and the ESS. The full camp runs from the morning of Tuesday Nov 11 through Monday afternoon Nov 17. For registration, please fill in following indico page.
As usual, the camp will include the customary topics of addressing issues, training new contributors, adding new features, editing/adding documentation and tutorial, updating website and/or other services, and holding discussion round tables around GUI or code designs or more generally.
For this camp there will also be a serious emphasis on improving support for the hard matter community in SasView. Something to note is that many of the needs of the hard matter community are relevant to materials and soft matter communities as well, such as the ability to fit 1D data from anisotropic scattering or handling Qz properly when analyzing 2D anisotropic data. Another area of emphasis will be in improving support for the life sciences.
However, none of these targets are meant to be exclusionary: As always, anybody with interests in improving SasView, from whatever science areas they wish to contribute to, are always welcome!
Please register at indico page.
Attendees are responsible for their own travel, accommodation and subsistence.
Garching is about 10 km northeast of Munich, Germany, and home to the largest campus of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the FRM2 research reactor. The nearest international airport is Munich Franz Josef Strauss (MUC) a further 15 km to the northeast.
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Dorint Business Hotel two tram stops away from the venue. Participants can either register here Indico Registration Page to be part of the block booking at the Dorint Business Hotel for 139 Euro per person/night including breakfast, or book their own accommodation.
Registrations for the block booking will be accepted on a 'first come, first served' basis and can be cancelled without penalty up until Oct 1.
Further convenient hotel options are the Motel One Muenchen-Garching and the Hoyacker Hof, but there are other hotels within Garching or Garching-Hochbrueck. Alternatively, on the TUM campus itself, there is the Courtyard by Marriott Munich Garching.
It turns out that mid-late Nov is a busy time in Munich this year and the hotels are filling up fast, hence early booking is strongly recommended.
The hotel rooms reserved in the block include a complimentary breakfast.
There is a restaurant on the ground floor of the venue and several restaurants nearby the venue for lunch, although these are not generally open evenings and weekends. Some options are:

- https://gate-kitchen.de/speisekarte.html
- https://crazy-bean.de/de/pages/wochenkarte
- https://goldbraun.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/goldbraun_Karte_20seitig_29032021_v41.pdf
Note that as school will be in session, groups of more than 3 or 4 will likely want to make reservations. The organizers will help with this as the time gets closer.
In the evening we will return to the hotel area in downtown Garching where there are a number of restaurants. Most likely groups will head out together. Note that Friday night we plan to reserve space for all of us at the Augustiner for a Bavarian dinner together after the roadmap discussion Friday afternoon.
From Munich airport
The most convenient connection is by train/S-Bahn (S8 towards Herrsching) from the airport to Ismaning and onward by bus (S230 towards Garching, Forschungszentrum). There are further connection possibilities that pass through either Eching (train S1 towards M. Leuchtenbergring and then bus 695 towards Garching-Hochbrueck), or which pass through Munich city center, but these are more out of the way.
Arriving by train
From Munich Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) take an underground/U-Bahn line to either Odeonsplatz (U4/5) or Sendlinger Tor (U1/7 or U2/8) and then take the U6 towards Garching, Forschungszentrum.
The venue is two train stops north of the Dorint hotel on the U6 underground line. The Dorint Hotel is located nearby stop Garching-Hochbrueck, and the venue is at Garching, Forschungszentrum (end-stop).
The venue is on the top floor of the IAS building on the campus of Technical University Munich (TUM) in Garching, in the "Faculty Club". It is a great space well suited for our type of event!
Details to come but eduroam access is expected among other things.

Current registered participants
- will be posted as the time approaches
A tentative outline is posted below. The detailed agenda will be fleshed out over the course of the next few months. The expectation is that besides working on specific tasks (code, documentation, tutorials, websites, etc), there will be a roadmap discussion, some tutorials and breakout discussions/design planning. There is also expected to be a big push in improving the support for hard condensed matter SAS analysis, particularly magnetic SANS, and possibly also improving bioSAS support.
