[Fhsst-authors] A physics "hackathon" ...

[Mark Horner]

Hey FHSST team,

I just wanted to mention that Tommy and I discussed the idea of a group 
round here (Berkeley) getting together somewhere to have combined 
writing session (for physics). Find a coffee shop with wireless access 
and spend a few hours all working together (cheeseboard pizza?).

This will hopefully make it more social, easier to fit into ones 
schedule, allow easier brainstorming and it should be more fun. Also 
it'll be a nice big session with some clear objectives which will be 
done at the end :)

It should be better than having an assignment with no fixed deadline 
floating around for weeks or months ;)

I've mentioned it here at the lab and we've currently got 5 people but 
should be able to get a few more very easily. I expect to have 8-10 
people in the end.

It will probably happen in 2 - 4 weeks time. Gives us time to coordinate 
a little and me a chance to make a clear plan of what to try to get done.

So presuming laptops and cluster of FHSST volunteers somewhere we could 
try to have these elsewhere. I know there is a group of Maths people in 
Edinburgh that Sam has recruited - if keen they could try something similar?

Just a thought ...

Cheers,

Mark
