[http://wiki.osdc.org.il/index.php/Tel_Aviv_Meeting_on_22_July_2010 a talk 
about GarlicSim] by [http://cool-rr.com Ram Rachum ("cool-RR")] on Thursday, 
22-July-2010, at 19:00 in [http://www.shenkar.ac.il/ Shenkar College in Ramat 
Gan (12 Ann Frank St.)] room 300 ('''note''' the change of time and place from

== Abstract ==

[http://garlicsim.org/ GarlicSim] is a Pythonic framework for computer 
simulations. It is an ambitious open-source project in the field of scientific 
computing, specifically computer simulations. It attempts to redefine the way 
that people think about computer simulations, making a new standard for how 
simulations are created and used.

GarlicSim is a platform for writing, running and analysing simulations. It is 
general enough to handle any kind of simulation: Physics, game theory, 
epidemic spread, electronics, etc. You may be wondering, what do these 
simulations have in common? We'll try to answer this question in this lecture. 
We will see examples of some simulations in GarlicSim and the tools that it 
provides for running and analysing them.

== About the Lecturer ==

[http://cool-rr.com Ram Rachum] is a Python developer. He mainly works on 
GarlicSim, but he's also known for having created [http://pythonturtle.org 
PythonTurtle], in order to spread Python to thousands of children and adults 
around the world.

We are always looking for people who will volunteer to give presentations on 
various topics that are related to open source code and to computers. In case 
you are interested to give a talk, or that you have a suggestion for a talk 
that interests you, we'll be happy to hear from you.
