yt workshop 2012: a success!

The yt workshop last week in Chicago (
http://yt-project.org/workshop2012/ ) was an enormous success. On
behalf of the organizing and technical committees, I'd like to
specifically thank the FLASH Center, particularly Don Lamb, Mila
Kuntu, Carrie Eder, for their hospitality; the venue was outstanding
and their hospitality touching. Additionally, we're very grateful to
the Adler Planetarium's Doug Roberts and Mark SubbaRao for hosting us
on Wednesday evening -- seeing the planetarium show as well as volume
renderings made by yt users up on the dome was so much fun. The yt
workshop was supported by NSF Grant 1214147. Thanks to everyone who
attended -- your energy and excitement helped make it a success.

Thanks also to the organizing and technical committees: Britton
Smith, John ZuHone, Brian O'Shea, Jeff Oishi, Stephen Skory, Sam
Skillman, and Cameron Hummels. All talks have been recorded, and you
can clone a unified repository of talk slides and worked examples:

A few photos have been put up online, too:

As I am able to edit and upload talks, they'll appear on the yt
youtube channel as well as on the yt homepage:

Thanks again, and wow, what a week!

Workshop in just a week!

The first yt workshop is in just about a week.  We've updated the website with the current list of talks, along with information about getting to and from the workshop from the conference hotel, and information about how to get the sample data.  Keep your eyes on the website in the lead up to the workshop, as we'll be posting a script for fisheye lens renderings for our viz night at the Adler, information about the talks and example scripts, and other useful info.  Once the workshop is over we'll update with links to the full videos of the talks, the slides, and scripts.
