DESCRIPTION:Julia Gender Inclusive is an initiative that aims to provide a 
 supportive space for all gender minorities in the Julia community. In this
  BoF session we hope to discuss the status of (gender) diversity in the co
 mmunity\, plan initiatives\, and engage supportive allies. While we focus 
 on gender diversity\, we would like to open the discussion up to all facet
 s of diversity to connect organizers of different diversity initiatives an
 d start new initiatives. We invite everyone to get involved!

DESCRIPTION:There is no native Julia geometry package equivalent to Python
 ’s Shapely or R’s sf. The driving idea behind GeometryOps.jl is to uni
 fy existing native geometry packages\, develop functionalities that only e
 xist in non-native wrapper packages\, and make algorithms usable with vari
 ous geometric representations through GeoInterface.jl. Initial benchmarks 
 show speedups over widely used wrapper library LibGEOS.jl: 2x for polygon 
 area\, 7x for polygon intersection\, and 10x for point-to-polygon distance
 .

DESCRIPTION:Using Julia for Earth and climate science has the potential to 
 combine the best of both worlds: The speed of Fortran and the interactivit
 y and productivity of Python\, empowering users to be developers and devel
 opers to be users. In this minisymposium speakers will present software pr
 ojects both from a user and a developer perspective. Talks are encouraged 
 to discuss both use cases of existing software as well as the development 
 of user-friendly software.

DESCRIPTION:Julia’s speed and extensibility allow fast and iterative expl
 oration of fine-scale sea ice dynamics. Performance improvements of 15-20x
  over similar MATLAB code enable simulations over climate-relevant scales.
  Furthermore\, the model’s modular design\, enhanced by Julia’s multip
 le dispatch\, encourages users to test novel experiment configurations. Th
 ese improvements uncovered physical properties not captured by traditional
  models\, which in turn continue to inform Subzero’s development.
