Is anyone planning to go to the International Carbon Dioxide Conference (ICDC12) in Exeter next June? The call for abstracts is now open, including for mini-workshops, and I was thinking about submitting a proposal to run a PyCO2SYS workshop. But might not a more general workshop on marine carbonate system calculations be even better?
Would anyone interested in participating in this? We’d need people to help come up with non-tool-specific ideas for content and worked examples to include in the workshop; then the code for those examples would need to be written up in as many different tools as we’re going to showcase; and at least one person who was experienced with each tool would ideally be there on the day to help participants out.
So please have a think and reply here if you’re interested. It would be perfectly possible to help with many of the things above without actually attending the conference and without being an expert or developer, so don’t let those things hold you back! 
There is plenty of time to prepare - the submission deadline is 15 December.
