- 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.
