The meeting was held in Paris, from Friday, February 19, to Sunday, February 21, 2010.

This was the first real meeting of the Eigen team (except of course for the huge 2009 World Conference).

Lots of discussion and development happened to prepare the upcoming 3.0 release, as well as more long-term items such as the beginning of SMP support within Eigen.

On Friday, we got the visit of Dodji Seketli from Red Hat, who introduced us to some GCC internals, and of Joel Falcou from Université Paris Sud who presented NT2.

The slides for most of the talks are available below.
