SimulationsSchool
From Mica
Learn about software for simulating stars, star clusters and galaxies. Organized by Piet Hut from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. Aimed at anyone with a serious interest in astronomy and computer simulations of stars and galaxies.
The main idea is to provide guidance for those who are interested in learning to use and/or write software for astronomical simulations, on all levels. Examples of approaches and packages that we will discuss can be found on the following web sites:

When: The third Friday of every month at 8:00 AM Pacific Time, but you can show up a half hour earlier if you want to join us for the daily coffee meet.
Where: In the virtual world Second Life, at the ISM Workshop room: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Spaceport%20Bravo/153/205/59
The first class will be on Friday, April 18 polling whoever attends to see what their wishes are and then in May starting to offer workshops accordingly.
We keep a SimulationsSchoolMeetingsSummary, and you can also check the micasimulations google mailing list\
