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.aspxIt 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.aspxThere 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
