10th ABINIT International Developer Workshop - Part 2
Guidel-Plages (France), May 16-19, 2022
To complete the 2021 virtual workshop...
This workshop will be the second part of the 10th ABINIT developer workshop.
Because of the COVID19 pandemic situation, in June 2021, the meeting occurred in a fully remote version, with only remote presentations and some group discussions. We missed several important parts of the workshop : small group discussions, thematic discussions, informal discussions, hackathons, etc. Many of the participants decided to meet again in person when the health situation permits it.
In May 2022 we plan to organize the second part of the workshop, with a smaller number of participants, mostly based on the missing ingredients above, still with some invited presentations. It will be a complementary and entirely live/offline event, with mostly discussions (possibly with introductory talks by moderators), round tables and hackathons. The round tables and the informal discussions require the physical presence of developers. This workshop will thus be held only if the physical presence of participants is possible.

A recurring event
The ABINIT developer workshops form a series of events, crucial for the community of ABINIT developers, organized every two years. A unique occasion for most developers to acquire or maintain a global view of the project and stay up to date with the latest capabilities, planned developments, and overall strategy. The developer workshop is always an opportunity to invite external researchers, from other codes and communities, to exchange best practices and expertise...
This year, the frequency of our meetings has changed. But we will reset the series next year.
Hackathons and discussions
The workshop is mainly dedicated to actual implementation and decision making by the developers.
Every morning we have a session of hackathons. Divided into small groups, we concretely work on ABINIT : coding, improving the documentation, interfacing the code with other software, etc. Everyone will find satisfaction according to their level of involvement in the project.
During two afternoons, we meet to discuss and consider the future of the code: future scientific themes, dissemination and the visibility of the code, user experience improvement.
