Subject: [PSF-Community] Google Summer of Code 2016!
Message-ID: <56B03202.4050904@toybox.ca>

Hi all!

Google Summer of Code mentoring org applications open in a week. I'm 
getting Python's 2016 application ready, and I wanted to let you all 
know that we're always open for new projects to try out GSoC with the 
support of my experienced volunteer team. The more good project ideas 
and mentors we have ready to go when applications close on the 19th, the 
more likely we are to be accepted as a mentoring org again this year.

For those of you not familiar with it, GSoC is a program where Google 
provides funds to pay students to work an open source project over a 3 
month period, if the community is willing to provide mentoring and 
support for the student.  The Python Software Foundation has 
participated since 2005 as an "umbrella organization" for a variety of 
pythonic "sub-orgs."  We had 70 students last year and raised $35k for 
the PSF!

I'm also looking for individual volunteers this year, so you can 
participate even if you're not affiliated with one of our sub-orgs.

Our wiki page with links to more info is here:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016

And if you have any questions or want to join us, you can email my 
volunteer team at gsoc-admins at python.org.

Thanks!

  Terri

Message-ID: <DEE364CF-E331-407B-9014-22C92EE1B1C9@wirtel.be>

Hello everyone,

I would like to announce a new mailing list for the Belgian Python 
Users.

This main goal of this mailing list is mainly for the Python Community 
of Belgium, Dutch, French and German.
The main language is English, I don?t want to discuss about the 
languages, maybe in the future.

So, here is the mailing list: belgium at python.org you can subscribe via 
this link: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/belgium

Via this mailing list, you could discuss about:

* Python in Belgium
* Organise some events, meetups, AFPyro in Belgium
* Create a great community.
* Help for the PythonFOSDEM in Belgium
* etc?

Hope to see you in this ML.

Thank you so much,

Stephane

Message-ID: <CANMoNCiatHoxf0F060pO5pM4jik5ZTwnFUBNPNtWEOhEuHE7yg@mail.gmail.com>

hello everyone in this wonderful community,

probably, we already know about the recent confirmation by LIGO
<http://www.ligo.org/> about existence of "gravitational waves", a major
prediction by the "theory of relativity" by Albert Einstein. It is a huge
milestone to human endeavour to understand nature.

what we may or may not know that Python was the de-facto language of
software components of the experimentation. It was extensively used in
day-to-day operations, from orchestrating the instruments[1], gathering
data, analytics, to generating the finally published pretty graphs[2].
Usage of Python, IPython notebook & matplotlib was extensive among the
team-members of LIGO.[3], [4]

i am not a part of LIGO, or any of the member organisations.
Rather, as a common enthusiast of natural-sciences as well as a open-source
believer, I would like to take a moment to thank every single contributor
of Python. Please keep up pushing your commits.
We facilitated something bigger than us.

i would also like to take a moment to remember our lost friend, John D.
Hunter, the creator of matplotlib. Whom we lost in 2012 in a battle with
cancer. Dear John, you are long gone, but you will live generations through
2-D matplotlib plots.


Thanks everyone.

Khaled Monsoor,
a common user of Python

Thanks for posting this.

I am thrilled to hear that python has played such a key role in an
incredible piece of work.

And I will second your thanks to John Hunter.  

Many years ago I was looking for some plotting software and stumbled on
matplotlib.  I sent off a patch for stacked bar plots.  A few hours
later I received an incredibly encouraging email that spurred me to make
more changes.  He was a delight to work.

I remember him fondly every time a matplotlib plot renders.

John

Thank you for sharing this information with us. This is really
exciting :-)

I took the liberty to use these great news as part of
our EuroPython 2016 launch announcement yesterday (which I'll
post here as well).

Subject: [PSF-Community] EuroPython 2016: Sending out the first
 gravitational waves
Message-ID: <56C2FF19.6030804@egenix.com>

We are pleased to announce the launch of our all new EuroPython 2016
website. Over the last few weeks, we have been busy talking to
sponsors and getting the website prepared for the launch.

You may have heard about the recent direct observation of
gravitational waves by the LIGO (Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-wave Observatory). What you may not know is that Python
helped in analyzing the data, so we now have two things to celebrate:

 1. Python?s use in this phenomenal direct proof of Einstein?s
    prediction and

 2. the launch of our 2016 edition of the EuroPython conference.

So here it is:

                 *** http://ep2016.europython.eu/ ***

                           July 17 - 24 2016


Many thanks go to our launch sponsors who have signed up early to give
us that extra boost in motivation to get the conference and it?s
website set up.

I'm not sure how many people realize it, but Python (+ ipython/jupyter, pandas,
matplotlib, scikit-learn, etc. etc.) has become one of the two mainstays of
data analysis and visualization in the biological sciences -- along with R.

Everyone should keep up the good work - the science crowd is doing its best
to put it to good use :)

And for those who have not seen, you can play with the date in your browser:

http://mybinder.org/repo/minrk/ligo-binder/GW150914_tutorial.ipynb

It spawn a Docker instance with the analysis just for you after a few second (and yes http, there is no login involved),
so that you can play with the data. 

Enjoy.

The world of academic science remains opaque to many in the computing
world, but I am happy to say that thanks to your good work and particularly
to the whole Software Carpentry initiative scientists are slowly opening
their eyed to good software engineering practices. The recent LIGO
publications are a testament not only to Python's readability and general
usefulness, but also to the work of the many scientific computing devotees
who have spent time making the Python ecosystem so usable and approachable.

At Pycon Italia Sette we're already busy arranging for one of the (Italian)
astrophysicists who worked on LIGO to give us a keynote about this (he's
come to most previous Python conferences in Firenze so we should be able to
convince him:-) even though this requires some reshuffling of the schedule
which had just been announced -- seems well worth it!

We?re looking for proposals on every aspect of Python: programming
from novice to advanced levels, applications and frameworks, or how
you have been involved in introducing Python into your organization.
EuroPython is a community conference and we are eager to
hear about your experience.

Please also forward this Call for Proposals to anyone that you feel
may be interested.


     *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/ ***

                   Submissions will be open until
                   Sunday, March 6, 23:59:59 CET


For full details, please see the above CFP page. We have many exciting
things waiting for you:

* a PyData satellite event

* new formats (panels, interactive sessions)

* tracks to focus on more specific domains, including a
  revival of the EuroPython Business Track

* speaker discounts for more than just talks and trainings


Please note that we are using a shorter CFP period of just 2.5 weeks
this year, since we want to have the list of talks published sooner
than last year.

 Source award
Message-ID: <CADiSq7co2NFx_9JXz9_3HAXjdk3G0UzVu+cG-9SR+A7=-3_1Sw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

The finalists for the 2016 Women in Open Source award were recently
announced, and I'd like to congratulate a couple of folks whose
contributions to the Python community were amongst their reasons for
being nominated: Jessica McKellar & Carrie Anne Philbin.

If you'd like to vote for this year's award, or just read the
inspiring nominations for each of the finalists, head over to

Regards,
Nick.
