Determine Mini-Symposium Themes #10

Closed katyhuff closed 10 years ago

The mini-symposia address scientific python in a domain-specific sub-community. We need to select a number of them. The number of mini-symposium themes selected will depend on the room for mini-symposia on the schedule. Last year there were 5.

It is the mini-symposium chair's role to encourage participation from their community, select talks for the session, and organize the content of the session. The content and organization of the session is left up to the discretion of the mini-symposium chair. In the past, they have consisted of a series of talks, panel discussion, "state of the community", or a combination of the above. A large amount of growth of the conference comes from the recruitment in these sub-domains.
