Dear Marcin, I already did my registration but I'm not sure about how to join the meetings. Any further instructions about how to participate?

Since June 2009, we've had a Gretl conference every other year, starting in Bilbao; the 2019 conference was in Naples. This year, it should have been London but the pandemic forced us to change our plans. Therefore, here's what's happening: * the actual conference is probably going to take place during the winter, if the COVID situation makes it possible. * we're having an online event on the 3rd and 4th of June. Since the majority of the gretl community lives on one side of the Atlantic or the other, we decided that the event will take place between 1200 and 1800 UTC (approximately) so that the inconvenience of the time zones is hopefully minimised. The only two fixed events at this stage are 1) a presentation by the project leader (Allin) on the 3rd 2) an invited speech by Mark Steel (Warwick University), Bayesian extraordinaire, on the 4th. For the rest of the time, we plan to have - an open Q&A session in which the community can meet the development team to ask question, make proposals or simply tell us how much you love us; - presentations by package authors to show the community some lesser-known features; - a few presentations of scientific work done using gretl, or perhaps done by using some other package but explaining why it would have been impossible to do in gretl, and what needs to be done to make it possible; - a virtual meeting of the newly-born gretl association (become a member!); - (possibly) the usual analysis by me on the trends of the download data and future perspectives. Marcin was kind enough to set up a website for the conference (https://www.gretlconference.org/), so you can visit that page to get the info as it becomes available. If you'd like to present something, or have any other comments or suggestions, feel free to contact me or any other member of the development team. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
