The Sage Cell Server looks very promising.  Basically, it allows a single Sage cell to be embedded as a link into a webpage, a pdf document, etc.  Go to https://sagecell.sagemath.org to get started.

William Stein demonstrated the Sage Cloud (https://cloud.sagemath.com).    This is going to replace the notebook.

During the afternoon, we had time to circulate or work on projects.  I worked on updating the solutions manual for AATA and getting everything into XML.  I also spoke with several people about the next steps for UTMOST.
