QuantLib Forum

Hi all
as you probably know last Tuesday there has been the First QuantLib Forum in London, sponsored by StatPro: http://www.statpro.com/quantlib_forum.aspx It has been a great time meeting a lot of "QL names" in person, both the old friends and the new ones. Luigi's acrobatics were surely the main attraction ;-), but all presentations were very interesting, and the organization was impeccable: kudos to all speakers and organizers, it has been a real pleasure to collaborate with you. This is not just my subjective opinion: there were about 90 delegates attending the event, and according to the feedback forms 96% of them would attend a future QuantLib Forum again. The event scored a remarkable 5.23 out of 6.00! The presentations are available at http://www.statpro.com/quantlib_forum/quantlib_presentations.aspx There has been a lot of suggestions for future initiatives: more Python, more case studies, LMM, Credit, more (model) details, better overview, more background for less experienced users, more academic presentations, more examples on implementation. In a word people wants more, which is great and we will take these suggestions into account. This first forum also marks the 10th QL anniversary, so this is a good time for my heartfelt "thank you" to Dario Cintioli. While probably an obscure name to the mailing list subscribers he has always encouraged and sustained the QuantLib development since the first days at RiskMap up to these days at StatPro. He has showed a forward looking attitude quite rare between the managers I've worked with, and a remarkable courage to invest his own resources in what might have appeared a crazy project at the time To wrap it up from my side while looking forward to other reports: if you missed the first QL forum... well don't miss it next time! ciao -- Nando ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

In reply to this post by Ferdinando M. Ametrano-3
On my side at least, I would like to say thanks to everybody who organised the conference and also thanks for organising it in London and travelling in to give your presentations -- it made it very convenient and accessible for us who are here! I agree with summary that people were interested "more" of a lot of things... The two topics which particularly caught my eye was "more Python" (and seeing that Luigi for example uses it often); and, plans for new, SWIG-based, Excel add-in. In fact thinking now about this, I see there could be a nice shortcut in enabling this: write the Excel interface in Python. This would allow the work to concentrate on the C++ -> Python SWIG wrapper, and Python modules could then quite easily re-wrap this functionality for Excel. This would also have the added advantage that a lot of higher-level functionality could be in Python but still easily accessible from Excel. What do people think about this?
