Today at the #FrOSCon2024 happy of joining this conference and giving a talk about #Quarto . #markdown #rstats #PyOpenSci #ropensci #RMarkdowm #latex #literateprogramming

Ready, set, sprint!

Over the past two years, our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser, has been holding beginner-friendly sprints. In this post, she explores the varied motivations and barriers associated with contributions to open source, and how pyOpenSci is addressing them.

It's definitely worth the read!

OpenPlanetary's next virtual lunch talk will be thursday July 25 (12:00 EDT / 17:00 CET) and will be given by Leah Wasser from #pyOpenSci:

Tackling scientific Python's biggest open science challenges through community: packaging, open software and sharing code

To register and get an invite, sign up at https://openplanetary.org/vlunch

We know there are a multitude of fantastic talks to catch at SciPy, but we can't recommend checking out @leahawasser's talk on the power of community in solving scientific Python's most challenging problems enough!

We hope to see you there!

New quarter, new Editor-in-Chief at pyOpenSci! We're absolutely thrilled that Chiara Marmo will be our acting volunteer EIC for the upcoming quarter.

Chiara is involved in a multitude of open source communities, and she brings a wonderful mix of expertise in academia coupled with a keen understanding of, and passion for, community work and the impact it brings

Love Python packaging? Hate Python packaging? FEAR Python packaging?

This talk was made for you, with , by our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll walk away inspired and empowered to tackle anything Python packaging throws at you. We promise.

sunpy is not only the package with the most authors (so far!) in the pyOpenSci ecosystem, it’s also a community-developed, free & open-source solar data analysis environment for Python.

sunpy includes an interface for searching & downloading data from multiple data providers, data containers for image and time series data, commonly used solar coordinate frames & associated transformations, & more!

PyCon US is finally here, and we can't wait to see you! We've compiled a guide to all of the talks from pyOpenSci community members and friends in our latest post.

And be on the lookout for our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser We know she's got some brand new stickers, as well as a limited edition run of postcards, that she'd love to share.

Be sure to tag us on socials with your pyOpenSci swag!

Juno showing off some new pyOpenSci stickers! Be sure to say hi to our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser, at @pycon to grab yours! (And chat all things Python packaging, open source, and open science, of course!)

We know #Python packaging can be a bit of a spicy subject, but we promise it doesn't have to be!

If you're a scientist who codes in Python, but is a bit shy about creating a package, come join our "Build Your First Python Package!" workshop, happening this Thursday (online!).

We promise it will be friendly, supportive, and hey, even a little bit fun.

Putting a call out for @pyOpenSci reviewers :)

Package: automata - "A Python library for simulating finite automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines."
https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/152

Looks like a good bit of fun (cellular automata are a recurring love of mine) - we would love to give people who haven't had a chance to review software a go here, but previous reviewers welcome too. You'll be taking on the role of a prospective user and colleague advising and trying to help make a package work as well as it can, reaching some minimum standard via checklist, raising issues and making suggestions as you read and run it.
