Feb 17th

9am: Tutorials 1

Aaron Brewster and Iris Young: cctbx.xfel Break: 10:00 am

10:15 am: Tutorials 2

• Aaron Brewster and James Parkhurst: dials.stills_process

12:15pm-2:30pm: Round table discussion.

Topics will include: Is the current software meeting needs? What are essential/timely avenues most useful for near-term development (first half of 2017)? Where should we be going next (longer term future)? Time resolved experiments? Synchrotron serial crystallography?

2:30-4pm: Breakout sessions:

users work with developers and instructors on their own data. Hands-on walkthroughs and data analysis.
