Snow walking

As some of you already know, Daniel is proposing to go for a snow walking one of this days. The idea is to make it in a week-end day for those who would like to invite his/her family.

So, I just created a doodle to know which day you prefer, please fill in it and if you also know a nice place let us know.

heavy reading interest?

If there are a few people still interested in following a heavy reading group, perhaps we can continue. There were some suggestions in the last meeting to either:
- follow the MLSS videolectures
- follow a textbook

1. Would anyone be interested in having such a reading group?
2. How often would you be interested in meeting?
3. Which subject/reading material do you prefer?
