What do you plan to do today?

• Jennifer Balakrishnan

  • Work on Coleman-Gross local p-adic heights #8441, help with arithmetic dynamics tickets

• Gregory Bard

  • Working on the graphical appendix and the new graphics commands, but primarily the text of the appendix, since we still haven't figured out this sqrt(z) bug.

• Alina Bucur

  • Review the course management guide and videos with fresh eyeballs: https://github.com/mikecroucher/SMC_tutorial/blob/master/README.md

• Tim Clemans

  • Install Ubuntu

• Aly Deines

  • look at some old track tickets, mine and from p-adic sage days

  • cleaning up these: days71

• Rob Harron

  • Import idealmoddivisor function from pari C library.

  • Add more doctests to #15829 (Ray class groups and Hecke characters).

  • Report a bug with solve_right for integer matrices (or find it already in trac). (Facebook support.)

• Erik Holmes

  • Test Rob Benedetto's algorithm implemented yesterday by Michelle and Jen; decide if rational function has potentially good reduction.

• John Jeng

  • (up late)

• Kiran Kedlaya

  • took pictures at Hanauma Bay

  • look at some NT tickets with Rob, esp. #20932

  • look at #20511 and related polynomial algebra tickets

  • possibly more ticket triage: waking the dead

  • get a tutorial about GCE from William (with Jen, Jack), try it out -- 3pm here

• Jack Kennedy

  • work on subgraph_search #14999

  • pick a couple of low-hanging fruit

  • pester people to review my maiden check-in (put link here)

• Jonathan Lee

  • (up late)

• Simon Luu

  • working on the writing react components for video chat

• Michelle Manes

  • debugging Benedetto's algorithm for potential good reduction (Erik found lots of bugs)

  • finish reviewing ticket 21117

  • if we get potential good reduction working, make it a ticket

  • work to understand Doyle-Krumm algorithm on listing points by height in number fields

• Nicholas Ruhland

  • try react-dnd for sorting tabs

  • find places where we are storing data in state but want it preserved even when the component is unmounted

• Harald Schilly

  • control script for building project base images

  • yesterday's fresh compute image build had 0 test errors (first time ever)

  • maybe there are still plot3d questions?

  • user facing help related puzzle pieces, as mentioned yesterday

  • sitting next to vivek, which might drag me into the video chat vortex

• William Stein

  • Morning snorkel; then spent 1.5 hours this morning dealing with some load issues caused by probable leaks.

  • gce tutorial at 3pm

  • centos smc build

• Vivek Venkatachalam

  • peer-to-peer messaging via syncdoc to coordinate video chat

• Kartik Venkatram

  • standalone version of SMC on Centos 7 (and maybe 6)

What did you do today?

• Jennifer Balakrishnan

  • helped with arithmetic dynamics code for potential good reduction

  • attended William's GCE tutorial

• Gregory Bard

  • worked on graphical appendix; reordered sections

  • organized files

  • wrote a hit list for what needs to be completed before launch

  • discussed linear algebra with Kiran Kedlaya

  • You can see the appendix here: https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/9107841b-69fe-4d5e-a16f-f3eb2468b07c/files/Rebooted Appendix/appendices.pdf

• Alina Bucur

  • found critical bug in course management

  • has a million questions after watching videos...

    • issues, e.g., creating directory must happen first -- maybe we should add creation.

    • make the collaborators on students projects be explicitly designated.

• Tim Clemans

  • Install Ubuntu had to fix boot using boot-repair

• Aly Deines

  • worked on Improve caching for HeckeAlgebra

  • and Free modules over PIDs

  • attended William's tutorial

• Rob Harron

  • Imported idealmoddivisor function from pari C library and removed now redundant part of code in ray class/Hecke char.

  • Added more doctests for #15829.

  • Attended google compute engine tutorial. Cost Kiran some amount of money (thanks, Kiran!).

• Jamal Hassan

• Erik Holmes

• John Jeng

  • fixed a couple of issuess with non-react editors

  • fixed course bug

  • helped out video chat.

• Kiran Kedlaya

  • went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, took underwater pictures

  • learned all about GCE from the tutorial

  • discussed with William et al about possible SMC-to-GCE interfaces

  • posted on several tickets

  • discussed some linear algebra with Greg

• Jack Kennedy

  • looked at tickets (grabbed 1)

  • studied subgraph algorithms

• Jonathan Lee
