EC100 has been completed by more than 250 people at Sandia, and has been requested by DOE and DoD as a model for next generation training tools. Sandia received DOE approval to make several significant computer codes available under open source licensing. Open source licensing, used for common software packages such as Linux, allows a broad community of researchers to use, improve, and share improvements to software. Open source licensing will help transfer important technology from Sandia, and will allow Sandia to leverage the efforts of others in improving technology important to our mission. The codes currently approved for open source licensing include Cplant, Zoltan, chaco, and verde.

Others donated lunches and snacks or contributed to the Carpenter's Fund.
