The first Octave Workshop will be held April 20-12, 2006 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD USA.

This will be a gathering of Octave developers and users to provide a forum for discussing the current state and the future of Octave and its application areas. Topics include language improvements, numerical methods, application areas, proposed extensions and infrastructure developments.

Gaithersburg's location near Washington DC, Annapolis and Baltimore provides easy access to tourism and entertainment opportunities for conference attendees and their accompanying persons.
