We are happy to announce a 2019 DM Boot camp Nov 12-14
What:
We are organizing another boot camp, inspired by the 2015 bootcamp, with new updated material.
Why:
The DM DRP team has grown by 3 team members. The talks from the last boot camp have served as valuable reference material for the DM team, but a lot about the stack has changed since our last boot camp. It’s time for a refresh.
Where:
- Lectures will be remotely streamed: Launch Meeting - Zoom
- Hands-on tutorials will be at Princeton University, however other institutions are welcome to locally organize as well.
Who:
Tutorials and lectures will be lead by current DM team members. They are geared towards the new scientists who have joined the DRP team. Attendance is open to everyone from all corners of LSST, but note that the material will be aimed at the level of new DM team members.
Topics:
When: All times EST
