We used symposion for the first time this year, and the schedule builder could be improved. Anytime we update the schedule we delete it (including all of the related objects) and regenerate an entirely new schedule. No need to to go in to an exhaustive list of all the things that would be nice to have (such as using slugs or natural keys versus IDs for URLs, having a UI for creating schedules, etc. etc. etc.). Perhaps some of us could get together during the sprints to work out what we'd like to see added/fixed for next year.

Please can you add the longer abstract text I submitted with the proposal to the page? Here?s the text again: Programming is ever more important to the research effort. However, most researchers are neither trained nor incentivised to produce readable, reliable and efficient software, while general programmers are not often able to rapidly assimilate the scientific, mathematical and cultural context of research software. Therefore, a role is emerging for the Research Software Engineer, a research professional who collaborates with academic colleagues to develop and maintain the high quality software which is necessary for 21st century research, from scripts which make data analysis and visualisation repeatable to advanced simulations running on state-of-the-art supercomputers. Research Software Engineers also act as an institutional well of best practice in research programming, and provide training and teaching in research software skills to emerging researchers. These individuals have a variety of names in different contexts, from Research Technologist to Alternative Academic via Bioinformatician and "laboratory computer person", but by comparing our experiences, we hope to better understand how to carry out, stabilise and promote our significant contribution to the multi-skilled 21st century research effort.

I think it has really paid off. But as all things go, there are still tasks to finish up before we put a fork in it. Please take time this week to go over these tasks to make the future better. 1) SciPy Manual - Go read http://conference.scipy.org/manual - Update content at https://github.com/scipy-conference/scipy-conference - I'll be assigning tasks to each committee member to update the committee docs - Tech, logistics, finance, and diversity teams will need to build some docs for themselves - If you aren't comfortable with editing rst files and github PRs, please just send me corrections. 2) SciPy2015 Participation If you haven't done so yet, please email me what position on the committees you would like to fill next year. As the next co-chairs are identified (Kelsey + other) they will be contacting folks to set up the committees. 3) Web requirements We need to figure out our web presence a bit better this year. Please let me know of any specific requirements that were not met by the current system. I have a long list, but would like to make sure we capture this from everyone. -- Andy PS I've included all enthought folks on here since mailman is having trouble emailing them.

As many of you were there, you know the story, but here it is again: While at the BBQ after the first day of sprints, I was approached by a local street artist asking: "What is this Scipy thing?". I told him that Python was a computer programming language, and this was a group of folks using it to do science. Essentially the intersection of scientists and computer geeks. He responded with "real eggheads, huh?" 15 minutes later, he returned and gave me the enclosed sketch. I really like how he captured: "the *chosen* language" We took up a collection and were able to give him a very generous donation for his efforts. Not sure what to do with it now, but perhaps we might use it in promotional materials or something in the future.

I think you have done a very good job of listening to feedback from the community. I also believe that you are getting the ball rolling on concrete actions for creating a "welcoming" and "information rich" conference experience. Sheila's suggestions about OpenHatch and its guide are great. I think it would be great to try to have Shauna Gordon-McKeon speak at a "welcoming" event for newcomers. She has a passion for open science and experience creating positive, productive community. Please count me in for helping on getting the word out through PyLadies. We have some good energy building in our San Diego Python User Group/PyLadies community around SciPy topics. I'm hoping that we can pull together a talk for next year on teaching/inspiring your local user community about the great projects in the SciPy community and how accessible that they are. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer with your family. Thank you again to you and all that worked on SciPy 2014. Personally, I really enjoyed meeting and collaborating with folks.

I'll apologize ahead of time for the length. I hope haven't strayed too far afield in what follows. I'd like to see a regular track at SciPy 2015 that is really meant to be more like training than conferring. I think that would be more successful than segregating beginning workshops at the beginning. Here are the things I'd dream about trying to do in it. -- Make the 'training track' parallel to and on an equal footing with the 'presentation track'. That way people who are there to learn can do so all the days of the conference, not all crammed into a couple at the beginning. And they can step aside to go the regular conference as desired. -- Limit the amount of training given in one day to something like three hours. There's only so much a beginner can process in one day. More time should be spent consolidating what's been learned than forging ahead to new topics before the last has had a chance to percolate. Perhaps BOFs for the regular people could happen concurrently, and training is like an extended BOF of people who want to learn. -- If possible, configure the rooms to encourage interaction. Hold the workshops in a room with cafe seating, three people to a smaller, round table (think four-top). Mix up the tables from workshop to workshop so people don't sit with the same two people the whole time. (We do our precalculus and calculus classes here like this, and it seems to work.) -- There should be a homework project every day. Projects should be presented as talks the following day. Some people hate it, but I think it's good to do homework in groups of three to four people. This is about community, and that means sitting with people, talking to people, working with people. Let's provide an atmosphere and activities where we give people a chance to try that. -- There should be a separate space, available in the afternoon/evening where the people who are working on the training homework can have their own 'sprints' and be with people of like-interest and more-alike ability. I would much rather have gone off to work on a beginning- intermediate- level homework problem in a room with a half-dozen other people who were just learning python than going to the happy hours. The happy hours are good for people who already know each other. For me, it's just another party at which I know no one. -- There should be some presentations of work that isn't 'awesome' but that shows some real examples of python getting work done by people of middling ability; something that can provide an 'Ah, Hah!' moment for a beginning or intermediate python programmer. Something that looks within reach of someone still struggling with list comprehensions. This isn't going to appeal to the main conference attendees, unless they're interested in teaching python to people. Ideally, some of the topics shouldn't require three years of college math. This, and the homework projects, are, I think, the hardest part to get, and especially to get right. -- Maybe no one else cares, but I'd like to have a bit more Sci at SciPy. We have a thing in Ann Arbor called 'Nerd Nite', which are short talks about some subject of interest to the presenter, typically given at a bar. Topics I've seen are the flu pandemic, brain imaging, how does malaria work. I think it would be fun to have some 'my work for a lay audience' talks. Kind of like lightning talks, but with some time in between for people to ask questions and talk to each other. Again, I think these would be better done in a smaller room with cafe seating at much smaller tables. It should feel more like a poetry slam, or karaoke, or something. I may well be projecting my own wishful thinking on an unsuspecting world because I never got to go do Outward Bound for a week in the Rockies, and I never got to go to the cool science summer camps, and I never got the military boot camp (though I think I'm actually pretty glad to have missed that one), and at some point, I wanted to do all those things. I'd want to attend a conference that had a track like that. I think I could make that fun, and productive, and I think something like that has a good chance of kickstarting the nucleus of a new generation of collaborators, given a little care and watering. I also think that by providing a more constructive and welcoming environment for the less advanced, in general, perhaps it would change the overall tenor and feel of the conference to one where people who are not already part of a project can come to _start_ being involved in one, or just plain start one. The person who's been most helpful to me is Julia Evans (http://jvns.ca/), and this http://jvns.ca/blog/2013/02/27/graphing-bike-path-data-with-ipython-notebook-and-pandas/ is the sort of thing that I think would be awesome to present in an afternoon talk to a beginning/intermediate audience after a morning of workshops. It's enticing, interesting, and it's the kind of project that a beginner could look at and say: Hey! I could do that. In fact, it turns out, I can do that. I'd probably have given up without that example. She was also receptive when I asked her question about it, and I even got to submit a bug to the Canadian Weather service about an off-by-one error on their web site. How cool ist that?! That's the kind of experience I'd like to help people have. The main problem I see with a conference like that is, how will people pay to go to it? Many of the people who would be best served don't have funding, or don't have time, etc. Maybe parts of that can be made so people can take only a day or two out of the whole program and still get to the conference part that provides the budget justification? Would some sort of certificate help? I have some time and energy I can contribute. I can work on bits of the outline above, or if people have other ideas and I can contribute, I could do that instead. Thanks, again, for the opportunity to put my oar in the water. -- bennet #pragma printf("The views expressed here are mine and not those of my employer.\n"); -- University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48019 1-734-764-6226 From katyhuff at gmail.com Wed Jul 23 11:18:18 2014 From: katyhuff at gmail.com (Katy Huff) Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 08:18:18 -0700 Subject: [Scipy-organizers] SciPy Video In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Phil, Thanks for your email.

First, a quick San Diego Python User Group thank you to this year's organizing team and the pyvideo.org team. We held our weekly SDPUG and PyLadies SD study group yesterday. We had 20 people working on projects and collaborating. About 75% of folks were working with the SciPy ecosystem of libraries and tools. Good discussions and sharing of resources :) Sheila, I wonder if one approach to capturing and discussing ideas may be to use this thread (or an etherpad) as a collector of ideas. Prior to the different organizing getting into the full swing of next year's planning, we could curate the ideas into major themes. Some suggested themes: program (talks, tutorials, track themes), welcoming/diversity efforts/events, sharing science interests/projects informally, etc. The different SciPy committees could then use the ideas as input for discussion as part of their planning. Just a thought...I'm sure that others will have great suggestions too. Thanks again.

I think about this as three broad issues: Training, socialization, and defining the SciPy conference. Clearly there is intersection among them, but I think that might be one topical division that could break discussions into more digestible chunks. How, technically, to do that...? New mailing list(s)? Blog? Wiki? Google groups? Here's a bit more about what I mean by those three issues, if that's of interest. I think discussions about Training could be carried on separately for content, organization, marketing, etc., for the most part. There is intersection with the others, but if the content, how it is organized and delivered (and over what time frame) should be dealt with in detail, that seems a natural independent thread. I think of the diversity issue as part of the broader notion of socialization, and as another thread of discussion. SciPy is an extant community, and just like moving into a small town (or a big one, for that matter), newcomers aren't welcomed as readily as we might like, and the newcomers don't know the 'cultural norms' of the community, which also leads to friction. I'm sure there is sexism enough in the world, but I also think there are many non-sexist (or not consciously sexist) people in the SciPy community, who are well-meaning but 'not getting it right'. Perhaps by discussing what a socialization process might entail, in general, we might address many of the issues that are specific to one group but that are common to several. I suggest this not to lessen gender-specific issues, but to open the focus so we don't unintentionally create additional impediments to inclusion. It seems like it might be a good to have a thread for the conference organizers to discuss what the conference _should_ be all about. I think we would end up in very different places if the intent of the conference is to be a place where people who are actively developing on established, mature projects that are part of the SciPy core meet than if it is meant to be a conference intended to appeal to those who are SciPy users and potential users. I, personally, don't want to divert what is a professional conference for those who are experienced and involved into being a platform for people who are not involved in core development and/or who are less experienced and less technically adept, if that is not what the organizers and community want. Deciding what outcome, or outcomes, SciPy should strive for would be a good start to getting some focused discussion about how best to achieve those ends.
