[santacruzgalaxy-list] Announcing 5th AGORA Web Conference + yt-AGORA Workshop (Mar. 23-25)

[Ji-hoon Kim]

Dear All,

This email is to announce that the 5th Web Conference of the AGORA Project will be held on Mar. 25, 2014 (Tue, 10am PDT/6pm CET), tentatively, via SeeVogh.  Note the slightly unusual time for our American colleagues thanks to different starting dates of daylight savings times in different continents.  While we will send out a reminder and the SeeVogh booking information as the date approaches, please mark your calendar now.  Please also keep an eye on the collaborative document below to follow various progresses in the Collaboration.  Some of the items have been newly updated following the recent discussion within the AGORA Steering Committee.

Additionally, the yt developer workshop at UC Santa Cruz (Mar. 23-25, 2014) is recently announced thanks to the great effort by Matt Turk et al., focused on jointly advancing the goals of yt and AGORA projects.  Please see the announcement attached below, and take part in the survey if interested!  

Thank you very much for your continued contribution in the Project. 

Sincerely,
Joel Primack and Piero Madau on behalf of the AGORA Steering Committee
