This session is to introduce the multi-mission analysis software SPEDAS 
to a wider
community, coordinate SPEDAS users/programmers on how make the software more
effective, provide tutorials on the basic software functionality for 
THEMIS, ERG and
MMS data analysis, discuss software updates to various mission plug-ins, 
and plan for
the upcoming GEM meeting. This end-of-day session will spill-over to an 
on-site session
for people with their own laptops with IDL, assuming internet connection 
is available.
