How to participate in the benchmark effort |
All those interested in phase field modeling are welcome to participate in the effort and to join our discussions. We value all forms of productive input. There are a number of ways to get involved:
The most significant way to contribute is by trying to implement the [benchmark problems]({{ site.baseurl}}/#benchmarks) using one of the [suggested codes]({{ site.baseurl}}/codes) or your own custom code and then [uploading the results]({{ site.baseurl }}/simulations/upload_form/) to the website.
We have active discussion on the [Gitter chat channel]({{ site.chat }}). Feel free to ask questions there.
We hold monthly [chat meetings on Gitter]({{ site.links.github }}/wiki#chat-meetings). Please try and participate and either ask question or listen to the chat. The content from [previous chat meetings]({{ site.links.github }}/wiki#chat-meetings) is available
Please subscribe to the [mailing list]({{ site.baseurl }}/mailing_list/) to stay informed about upcoming chat meetings and workshops or just to ask questions.
Please feel free to [open an issue on GitHub]({{ site.links.github }}/issues/new) if you would like to raise an issue about one of [the benchmarks problems]({{ site.baseurl }}/#benchmarks) or with anything at all about the website.
An integral component of {{ site.title }} is regular [workshops]({{ site.baseurl }}/workshops) and associated [hackathons]({{ site.baseurl }}/hackathons). Approximately twice a year, a spectrum of United States and international researchers, ranging from graduate students to senior scientists, come together to participate. See the [workshops page]({{ site.baseurl }}/workshops) for details about past workshops and plans for future workshops.
The development of this website is a community effort. Please see the [development guide]({{ site.baseurl }}/DEVELOPMENT) if you would like to help out.
