CoCalc

CoCalc

Until April 2017, CoCalc was called SageMathCloud. That name was based on the initial goal of running the open-source mathematics software SageMath online. After several years of rapid development, it became clear that the name SageMathCloud no longer captured the vast spectrum of features we offered, so we began the process of choosing a new name that better communicates the broad scope of the platform. The new name is CoCalc, which stands for "Collaborative Calculation in the cloud"; it is easy to remember and spell, and emphasizes that the platform excels at realtime collaboration involving all types of open source calculation.

Changes

First off, there are no deep changes to the previous SageMathCloud service. It is a smooth transition without any interruptions. All data and files are still there, just like before.

Visible changes:

• Domain name: the new domain name is cocalc.com -- other domain names will redirect here
• Logo: there is a new CoCalc logo
• Color scheme: there are some changes to the colors
• Mailing list: there is a new cocalc group

Unchanged:

• The company behind CoCalc is still called Sagemath, Inc.
• The contact email for support stays to be [email protected]

Planned changes

• The "SageMath Worksheet" will stay as it is, but we may develop a more general "CoCalc Worksheet".
