Two exciting events are being planned for this summer. The Madagascar School for Advanced Users is being planned for August 8-9, 2015. The school will take place in Qingdao, China, and will be hosted by the China University of Petroleum. Unlike previous Madagascar schools, the intended audience are not beginners but current users of Madagascar who want to learn more about advanced topics (parallel computing; graphical user interfaces; interfaces to C++, Python, and Matlab, etc.) More information is available at https://www.ahay.org/wiki/Qingdao2015. The Working Workshop on 3D Seismic Data Processing is being planned for August 19-22, 2015. The workshop will take place in Houston and will be hosted by Rice University. Unlike previous working workshops, the participations is not limited to Madagascar users. Users of other software packages with interest in seismic field data processing are encouraged to participate. The workshop is being organized by Karl Schleicher, with support of SEG.
