The MercuryMonth

Enhancing MercuryDPM Together

Join us for a collaborative effort to enhance our open-source particle simulations code.

For a schedule of MercuryMonth 2024, see below!

The MercuryMonth is a collaborative annual event usually held in May. It is dedicated to elevating the MercuryDPM codebase through collaboration, documentation, and feature development. During this intensive period, our team comes together to clean up code, document processes, create tutorials, and integrate new features into the main trunk.

Participating in MercuryMonth not only improves the codebase but also offers numerous advantages to developers and users alike. By contributing to the trunk, developers increase the visibility of their work, potentially leading to citations and recognition. Additionally, the integration of new features often results in a joint paper, providing participants with an opportunity to contribute to high-impact research.

We encourage all MercuryDPM developers and users to join us for MercuryMonth, as it offers invaluable opportunities:

Join us for the MercuryMonth and be part of a collaborative effort to shape the future of MercuryDPM. Let's innovate together and create a codebase we can all be proud of.

Past Success:

In previous iterations of the MercuryMonth, we've achieved significant milestones and made substantial contributions to the development of our codebase. Some notable outcomes include:
