  • Push a new version of the TelFit code (Kevin). We held a TelFit tutorial last tuesday, and identified several ideas for features to add to the code. I would like to collaborate with any interested parties in adding better units support, and potentially adding a faster, physics-based solver.

  • Package the PyGadget code (Jacob). I'd like to get my analysis toolkit properly packaged up, and this seems like the perfect opportunity. I'd also love to help any interested parties get started using it.

  • Test and document q2 (Ivan) I'll be working on extending the Tutorial and documentation of my q2 code, which uses MOOG and/or isochrones to help determining stellar parameters (Teff, mass, age, etc.) and elemental abundances.

  • Clean up and maybe package UNITpY (Rebecca). At Astro Hack Week 2015, I worked with Kyle Barbary and Mario Bonamigo to make a toy version of the very complex hierarchical model in UNITY (a Bayesian framework for supernova cosmology) presented in Rubin et al. 2015, with the intention of making our hack publicly available. During this hack day I'd like to clean up our code (e.g. implement classes) and make it run faster. And possibly package it now that we've settled on a name. I would welcome help in any of these areas. :)
