Re: [eigen] Re: meeting in February?

Great, with the 3 of us, plus also Thomas who probably can, we're
already enough people to make that worthwhile!

It would be nice though to get a few more people, especially (not
only) in 2 cases:
1) if you are making changes in Eigen that would be nice to be
discussed face to face.
      ---> example: the Lie algebra stuff, so if Mathieu and/or Maxime
could come, that would be cool
2) if you would like to get more deeply involved in Eigen coding.
Indeed, if there is demand, we should organize sessions to turn
"external/occasional developers" into "hardcore developers". That
would involve teaching you all you ever wanted to know about
internals, xpr templates, matrix computation algorithms, etc.
