This repository does not and will not host. It will only be used to organize the Open Porous Media (OPM) Meeting 2020, taking plan February 4-5, 2020 in Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany. For location, travel, schedule, and registration see the registration page.

Topics of talks should be connected to OPM, e.g. development, usage of it by you and your institution, how project/library could improve or contribute to OPM's success, what you would further expect from OPM, experiences as a user and/or developer. They should be flexible in length as we cannot foresee how many there will be in the end and do not expect to decline talks unless they are inappropriate, i.e. not related to OPM at all. In previous meetings talks got slots of half an hour and this is unlikely to change drastically as of January 14.

Whe you register, you can already tell us if you want to give a talk at the meeting. You will find the list of proposed talks in the wiki. If you did not do this and want to give one then please add yourself to the table in the wiki or send an message pr Email to Markus Blatt.

While talks are nice and fine, the main reason for the meeting should be to discuss stuff, and work together, eg. on problems and solutions. You might remember that special conference that really made a difference to your work, don't you? What was the best part again? Chances are it were not exactly the talks but the rest: the informal discussions (in small group), the chat about topic X with another attendee, etc.

Hence, we want to make the second part of the meeting (at least the second day) only consist of these highly productive parts of a conference. But here we need your help. Tell us what you want to discuss, what you want to work on. This is usually called an unconference.

We will misuse this repository's issue tracker for proposing topics/groups in advance. But you can still propose them onsite at the meeting. Please use the issue tracker to propose a topic with a short description. Please tag it with "user" (if it is of interest to users), "developers" (if it is of interest to developers), "discussion" (if this is mainly discussion), "hacking" (if it includes hacking) or add your own label. BTW it makes a lot of sense if the proposer is attending the meeting or finds an attendee that fills the spot as moderator of the group if he or she is not attending.

Other attendees can of course leave their comments in the issue tracker, but remember that the unconference will happen face to face at the meeting and comments might be disregarded. It is more important to use github's reactions by making a ":+1" comment if it is interesting to you. This will allow us to sort the proposals a bit before the conference.

There is a great chance that we might be able to attack all proposed topics/groups. As of January 14, 2020 the time available seems ample and the number of proposed talks is still very tractable.

If you do not have a github account then just send a mail to Markus Blatt.
