1818
<p>The year 2026 will see two major milestones for CGAL: the 30th anniversary of the project,
1919
and the 50th CGAL developer meeting!</p>
2020

21-
<p>To celebrate this, we will append a special event to the next developer meeting
22-
to get together and meet people who have been involved with CGAL over the years, to share memories,
23-
stories, thoughts, feelings and opinions, both personal and concerning the past, present,
24-
and future of the project that connects us all: CGAL.</p>
25-
26-
<p>The event is intended to be mostly informal and social, with lots of opportunities for individual interaction.
27-
But we also plan to have a short program, with presentations and panel discussions on CGAL, computational geometry,
28-
and open source projects. There are a few items on the program already, and we do not intend
29-
to fully "program" both days of the event. Nevertheless, there is still room for contributions.

<p>To celebrate this, we have invited people involved over the years to
22+
to join us during the next developer meetng to share memories, stories and thoughts
23+
over the project that connect us all: CGAL.</p>
24+
25+
<p>The anniversary of the CGAL project was also the occasion to reflect upon the structure of the project,
26+
the reasons for its longetivity, and how should the future look like.
27+
Also ponder about other projects. To this end, we have organized a special event regarding open source projects
28+
and invited notable, big and small, neighboring open source projects such that they may
29+
introduce themselves, and we can discuss what works and what does not.</p>
30+
31+
<p>The event is intended to be social, with lots of opportunities for individual interaction.
32+
We have also left plenty of space for suggestions on other days of the week.

<p>Volunteer Speaker(s)</p>
40+
<p>CGAL is an open-source software project that provides easy access to efficient and reliable geometric algorithms in the form of a C++ library. CGAL is used in various areas needing geometric computation, such as geographic information systems, computer aided design, molecular biology, medical imaging, computer graphics, and robotics.</p>

42+
<h3>10:00 - 10:45 | SOFA</h3>
43+
<p>Hugo Talbot, INRIA</p>
44+
<p>SOFA is an open-source software designed for interactive mechanical simulation, with a focus on biomechanics and robotics. The software project is recognized for its ability to model the dynamics and interactions of rigid and deformable bodies. This makes it an ideal tool for creating digital twins.</p>

<p>The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is open-source software for manipulating and displaying scientific data. It provides state-of-the-art tools for 3D rendering, a suite of widgets for 3D interaction, 2D plotting capability, and advanced data exploration features. ParaView is an open-source, cross-platform data analysis and visualization application based on VTK. Vespa enables the integration of CGAL algorithms into the VTK ecosystem. The filters can be used either as part of a VTK module or as plugins in ParaView.</p>
