This is the organisational repository for the joint AAS/GitHub workshop on indexing astronomical software generously supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Workshop details

Location

GitHub, 88 Colin P Kelly Jr St, San Francisco, CA 94107. Google maps

Date

27 & 28 April 2015

Travel

Flying in to SFO is recommended - GitHub's offices are 25 mins in a cab ($50) from the airport. There's also a regular BART train from SFO to Mongomery St station which is about 15 mins walk from the GitHub office.

The Park Central Hotel is within walking distance of the GitHub offices and currently has a very good rate available (~$200/night). Assuming we're paying your expenses (you should know if we are) then we'll cover up to $300 per night (including tax).

We'll provide breakfast, lunch and dinner on Monday (27th) and breakfast and lunch on Tuesday (28th). Please let us know if you have any dietary preferences.
