Overview
The MFEM team is happy to announce the first MFEM Community Workshop, which will take place on October 20, 2021, virtually, using WebEx for videoconferencing. The goal of the workshop is to foster collaboration among all MFEM users and developers, share the latest MFEM features with the broader community, deepen application engagements, and solicit feedback to guide future development directions for the project.
For questions, please contact the meeting organizers at mfem@llnl.gov.
Registration
Registration closed on October 18th.
Meeting format
Depending on the interest and user feedback, the meeting will include the following elements:
- Project news and development updates from the MFEM team
- An overview of the latest features in MFEM-4.3 and GLVis-4.1
- Contributed talks from application developers utilizing MFEM
- Roadmap discussion for future development
- Technical discussions in breakout rooms for Electromagnetics, Fluids, and Structural Mechanics applications
Workshop participants are encouraged to join the MFEM Community Slack workspace to communicate with other MFEM users and developers before, during and after the MFEM workshop.
