# Progress report for CNRS Vincent Delecroix Reporting period from Sept. 2015 to February 2017 --- ## Financial and administrative setup - Everything on rails: money arrived, first expenses done, we were even allowed to use some of the overhead. - Going back and forth between laboratory administration and CNRS is a bit of a nightmare. But with patience, things get done. --- ## Hiring - **Vincent Klein** from march 1st 2017 - Former research engineer at Bordeaux - Will work on packaging, Sage architecture and combinatorics - **Sébastien Labbé** was recruited as a CNRS Chargé de Recherche and will become part of the ODK team in Bordeaux --- ## Achievements - T2.5 Sage school during DIMACOS school in Alger (Nov 2015) - T2.3 [PARI/GP days in Grenoble (Jan 2016)](http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Events/PARI2016/) - T2.5 [Sage day in Monastir (Mar 2016)](http://www.edsf.fss.rnu.tn/Colloque1/colloque3.html) - T2.5 [Sage days 73 in Oaxaca (May 2016)](http://wiki.sagemath.org/days73) - WP5: [50 Sage tickets](https://trac.sagemath.org/query?author=~Vincent+Delecroix&or&author=~Adrien+Boussicault&max=500&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=milestone&col=component&desc=1&order=milestone) about algebra, arithmetic, combinatorics and core functionalities. -- - [PARI/GP port in javascript](http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/gp.html) including graphics! - PARI ateliers: [2016 in Grenoble](http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Events/PARI2016/), [2017 in Lyon](http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Events/PARI2017/) - [PARI/GP releases](http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/timeline.html). The last stable release 2.9.1 (Dec 1 2016) includes the achievement of [D5.10 generic parallelisation engine for PARI](https://github.com/OpenDreamKit/OpenDreamKit/issues/108) - Progress on [cypari2](https://github.com/defeo/cypari2): now installs as a Python library with both Python2 and Python3 --- ## Main upcoming tasks and deliverables - [T5.6: HPC infrastructure for combinatorics](https://github.com/OpenDreamKit/OpenDreamKit/issues/104) We already have a prototype for the C library. And two functions got already included in PARI/GP (iteration over permutations and subsets). - [Sage Days 84, March 2017](https://wiki.sagemath.org/days84)
