## Cytnx

Cytnx is a scientific library which aims to provide similar experience as using numpy/scipy/pytorch.
Thus, although Cytnx is written in C++, there’s python binding for users familiar with python.
On the other hand, it aims to provides many efficient methods to manipulate tensors, tensor networks, linear algebra. All the critical calculation are come with CPU and GPU dedicated implementations to acheive fully usage of computer resources.

### Post-Event Review
+ Reviewer: [name=Jenny], [name=EN], [name=Lynn], [name=Pin-Yu], [name=tychaung]
+ Host
+ Record

+ Topics:
+ Event recap:
+ Attendees: 19/22(sign-ups) (2 helpers not included)
+ Media exposure: NTHU mubao(10k followers).
+
+ Problem observed:
+ Media exposure isn't as expected.
+ Guide to the venue should be clearer.
+ 門禁卡
+ 對場地不熟沒辦法做事先分配場地，
+ 與會者對於活動參與較不清楚，協辦人員也不知道有newcomer，兩方資訊不對等。
+ 專案事先能不能提供一些hint，讓他們可以事先下載或是先知道可以先幹麻。
+ 如果來的人new-comer比較多，subject會比較沒有幫助，subject對於專案主持人比較有幫助（對於new-comer比較有幫助的是exercise)
+ [name=TY]筆電連顯示器有問題
+ 網路連線問題
+ 大家看到英文可能就滑掉了。
+ (協辦人員之間也資訊不對）
+ Goal for the next event:
+ ~~Promotion: 40 attendees.~~
+ Future recommandation(what to keep and what/how to fix):
+ to keep
1. Coming up with topics for each project in advance
2. the venue is quite good
3. 列出subject有助於當天專案的進行，當作任務來解。
4.
+ to fix
1. Add guidance of venue entry in the sprint hackmd doc. Or add a note on the sprint web page to remind the attendees to check out the clear information about it.
2. modmesh人比較多應該要在大的會議室。
3. 場地偏複雜可參考七月的sprint note：進不來可以tag場地負責人，拍照路線。設計模板供未來場務使用：定下SOP(場務要負責的事項)[name= EN] [name= Jenny]
4. 寫下project較為清楚的instruction。
5. 理想上，會希望較多的時間在解issue，或是來現場激盪一些想法，而不是來現場做build教學。接下來對於newcomer，提供他們build專案的ppt讓他們在sprint前可以先試試看，有問題在sprint上提出(exercise)。如果可以也讓每個專案都有exercise，如果只有提供source code跟文字介紹可能比較難follow。（但也許人較少的專案比較不會有這個問題(?)）
+ PPT [name=tychaung]
+ Tester [name=Jenny] [name=EN]
7. 自動化安裝腳本需要花一些時間(not in a short time)
8. 提醒大家網路的使用方式(include in場務的sop)
9. 進一步了解門禁問題：1F不要有門禁，5F維持門禁，一個人幫忙開。
10. modmesh飽和，sciwork portal to be promoted. Sciwork portal屬前端應該會吸引不少人，但與sciwork目前介紹的方向不同，可以改宣傳文案。也包裝成中文，較為親民的版本。
11. 改宣傳方向：CCCA，系學會，臉書社團，dcard，針對相似客群做宣傳(e.g 梅竹黑客松, sitcom)。（調整目標，人數過飽和的情況下難以維持活動品質，讓活動自然宣傳(e.g朋友之間相傳)）

+ Identify the work and team leads for Sprint October.(To be discussed)
+ Program
+ Venue
+ Registration
