[Dune-devel] DUNE dev (and user?) Meeting 2026: Please provide impossible weeks.

[Markus Blatt]

Hi,

It has been a while since the last one and somehow the attempt to have one last year was not successful.

I would hope that we manage to organize one this year.

I think we should not focus on a location, but first try to settle on date/week that everybody is available
and the settle on a conveniently reachable location. Here we should not be constrained by locations where devs
are working, but also consider renting a venue (my companies can pay that).

As a first step every developer should tell which weeks are definitely not possible because of work, conferences
or other constraints.

After that we can set up a doodle to find dates for a combined user/dev meeting.

There are a few conferences this year where we could hold the meeting before or after at a nearby location
to save international attendees travel time:
- deRSE26 march 3-5 Stuttgart <https://events.hifis.net/event/2945/>
- siam pp26 march 3-6 Berlin <https://www.siam.org/conferences-events/siam-conferences/pp26/>
- PdeSoft July 13-15 Vienna <https://pdesoft2026.conf.tuwien.ac.at/>
- WCCM-ECCOMAS July 19-24 Munich <https://eccomas.org/2025/04/02/wccm-eccomas-2026/>

I am looking forwar to your non-availability dates.

Best,

Markus
