==Objective==
Python and Julia are good languages for prototyping and applying selected processing.  Lack of good examples that read geophysical data, interface to legacy processing systems, and implement common algorithms are obstacles to more widespread use of these languages in the geophysical community.  The objective of this working workshop is to identify and address these obstacles and promote more widespread use of the languages.

Participants brought their laptops and formed small groups.  They picked projects and started to make examples of geophysical applications written in Python and Julia. About once a day we all checked in to talk about progress.  Sometimes participants collaborated with different groups.  After two and a half days we shared results in a lightning talks (five minute presentations).  Everyone left the workshop with some new skills, ideas, and acquaintances. 

The working workshop provided a forum for geophysicist to learn, contribute, and network.
