Hi Nikos

 

Thanks for making all these arrangements. I think that one event would be much easier. If I understand, the software meeting is 2 hours only, so if we had a hackathon for 2.5 days, then we could have 2 hours more of the software meeting (i.e. 3 days). Unless, we tried for 3.5 days of a hackathon (i.e. 4 days in total). I wonder if we could have a doodle setup so that we identify the best date ranges in July.

 

Cheers,

Harry

 

Dear all,

I am looking forward welcoming you at Hull.
I would like to know how would you feel to combine the meeting and
hackathlon in one 3 or 4 days event? In the very least, it will save us
from some traveling.

My initial thoughts were that the first day could be allocated for the
meeting and then have 2 or 2.5 days for the hackathlon.
However, it might make sense to have the meeting on the last day
of the hackathlon, as progress could be part of the agenta.

What do you think ?
Would you prefer one combined event or two separate?
Please let me know your thoughts.

I would like to thank Edo for sharing with me his experience
from the first hackathlon.

All the best,
Nikos

 

Dear all

 

It has been a while since our previous software meeting where we discussed the next meetings. We haven’t really been able to progress this further due to the rush to get the software ready for the PSMR course, and of course v2.0.0 out (which I hope is really imminent). However, summer is approaching rapidly, so it’s time to organise this now.

 

The suggestion is to have our next software meeting at the Univ of Hull (kindly volunteered by Nikos Efthimiou) with a focus on image reconstruction using machine learning (IR+ML). The aim would be to learn what is needed on a software front to make this happen. I’d suggest to start with an intro talk on different algorithmic approaches, then have some presentations on different ML frameworks, a guest-presentation on how IR+ML is done in ODL https://odlgroup.github.io/odl/ (tentatively agreed), and a discussion on what would be needed to make this happen, but feel free to suggest a different agenda. Of course, we will need volunteer speakers. I’ll let Nikos organise a Doodle (I suggest between 11 and 20 June if that’s still feasible, or first week of July) and get an agenda together.

 

There was then a suggestion for a follow-up hackathon during the summer to try and get some of this implemented in SIRF. (Although I do think we need to get more non-ML synergistic algorithms implemented as well). A hackathon probably needs 3 days. Harry mentioned Leeds (but maybe people feel it needs to be somewhere more south?). Finding dates during the summer won’t be easy of course. Maybe late August?

 

We can discuss this further during our next software tcon on Fri 31/5.

 

Finally, I’d like you to keep Sun 3- Wed 6 November 2019 in your calendar for a joint CCP-PETMR CCPi symposium + software training event. More on that later.

 

All the best

 

Kris
