[Numpy-discussion] Re: Regarding beginner first issue label or similar.

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mohit

We don't use the "good-first-issue" label because we find it very difficult
to actually spot issues that would fit that label. An alternative we've
found is to use the "sprintable" label - meaning this is a small project
that you might be able to solve during the time of a sprint or potentially
with some help from more experienced contributors. Feel free to browse
those issues here:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Asprintable+sort%3Aupdated-desc

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Re: PR-23061

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Matteo

Indeed, it is fairly standard practice for mailing lists to require
subscription before posting, that's how we stop spam.

Thank you for you contributions and for your message. We understand how
frustrating it can be to submit your contribution and wait for it to be
reviewed and merged. All of us, contributors and maintainers, have gone
through this multiple times with our prs as well.

Like most open source projects, we operate on limited resources and need to
make very hard decisions with the little time we have to make the best we
can. In addition, we all take NumPy very seriously, meaning that sometimes
maintainers need a little extra time to make sure we have the right fix
that will not create problems downstream or break things. This means
sometimes reviews take longer than we would like.

We appreciate your patience in this matter, and hope you are understanding.

Sincerely,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Re: dropping support for Gitpod and our Docker image builds

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

As a heavy user of Gitpod (mostly for quick fixes) I would also like to
point out that you *can* still use it - it's just that the development
environment won't be set up by default. I agree it has been breaking far
too often and requires a lot of optimization to reach reasonable setup
times, and while I haven't been using the codespaces setup I can see the
gain in maintenance effort there.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Documentation Team update

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi folks,

I am happy to announce an update to the NumPy Documentation team. Although
there is no formal leadership position so far, it is helpful to have
someone responsible for running team meetings, organizing high-level items
and planning larger projects such as Google Season of Docs. With this in
mind, I am happy to report that going forward, Ross Barnowski and Mukulika
Pahari will be leading the Docs team.

Ross is a NumPy maintainer and has been involved with the Docs team for a
while, including co-mentoring Google Season of Docs projects and setting up
NumPy Tutorials. Mukulika joined the NumPy documentation team as a
technical writer during the 2021 Google Season of Docs program. Since then,
she has contributed new content (How-To guides and Tutorials) and
restructured several parts of the documentation for better readability. She
is also a maintainer of https://github.com/numpy/numpy-tutorials.

Thank you, Mukulika and Ross, for stepping up!

P.S. Inessa Pawson, our Contributor Experience Lead, has put together a
NumPy Docs Team handbook [1] which is meant to serve as guidance for the
new leadership team and those who will be doing this work in the future.

[Numpy-discussion] Re: Documentation Team meeting - Monday October 24 at 2pm UTC

[Melissa Mendonça]

I am in favor of alternating times for the Docs team meeting - making it a
little bit more accessible for folks in other timezones :)

Please keep an eye out for announcements, and if you have strong opinions
on this let us know. I think we could start with alternating between 4pm
UTC and noon UTC, unless there are better suggestions.

Thanks for bringing this up, we'd love to make it better for other folks to
participate as well.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Re: Dropping the pdf documentation.

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all!

Happy to say this:

*1. We drop pdf builds in CI, the release process and the Docker image, but
keep support in the code base.*
*2. Rohit volunteered to maintain the pdf build, so if he (or another
person we know and trust to receive artifacts from and distribute them)
wants to send PRs to fix doc build issues and merge a pdf build into
https://github.com/numpy/doc/ , we'll review
and merge those.*

is exactly the proposal that came up from the documentation team meeting
today :) We also proposed circling back in the next docs team meeting in
two weeks if there are any hiccups, but there was consensus at the meeting
that this is a good compromise.

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, all

Unfortunately, we (neither NumPy nor SciPy) were not selected this year for
Google Season of Docs. You can see the accepted projects here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants

Thank you all who dedicated time and effort to the proposal. I’m trying to
get some feedback from the Season of Docs team on the proposal shortcomings
or things we could have done differently.

Best,

[Numpy-discussion] NumFOCUS Contributor Diversification and Retention research project: call for participation

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi folks!


I have been asked to share this call for participation with you. I've
mentioned this research in community meetings in the past. Please feel free
to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.


---


NumPy is working with NumFOCUS  on a research project

funded by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation  to
understand the barriers to participation that contributors, particularly
those from historically underrepresented groups, face in the open-source
software community. The research team would like to talk to new
contributors, project developers and maintainers, and those who have
contributed in the past about their experiences joining and contributing to
NumPy.

Interested in sharing your experiences?


Please complete this brief “Participant Interest
” form which contains additional
information on the research goals, privacy, and confidentiality
considerations. Your participation will be valuable to the growth and
sustainability of diverse and inclusive open-source software communities.
Accepted participants will participate in a 30-minute interview with a
research team member.

Thank you for your interest!

Hi Tapasweni,

If you have specific ideas and would like to discuss your statement of
interest before submitting it, feel free to reach out to
numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com

While we don't have confirmation of our participation yet, it might be a
good exercise to go over the documentation and start with your own journey
there - we would love to hear about your own experience and suggestions for
improvements.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Re: A technical writer interested in contributing to NUMPY

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Peculiar

Thanks for reaching out. Our documentation team meets every two weeks - if
you are interested and can make it (if the timezone permits) you are free
to join and ask questions. Our next meeting is on Monday, April 11 at 4pm
UTC. We also have Newcomer Meetings dedicated to answering questions about
the project, contributing and anything else you'd like to know. Keep an eye
out for the meeting announcements here in the mailing list.

We are indeed planning on participating on Google Season of Docs this year,
however the accepted organizations won't be announced before April 14.
Until then, you can read our project (
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2022---NumPy-Project).
If you have any other questions about GSoD, please reach out to numpy-scipy-
g...@googlegroups.com.

If you just want to start contributing, feel free to browse our issue
tracker - there are many issues tagged Documentation that you can start
working on right away.

Welcome!

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Re: Google Season of Docs

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

Both projects are now live and I've added NumPy and SciPy to the interested
organizations list for 2022. You can see the projects at the NumPy and
SciPy wikis:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2022---NumPy-Project
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2022---SciPy-Project

Thank you to all folks who helped with writing the proposals and reflecting
on ideas - fingers crossed for the list of accepted organizations on April
14!

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all!

I wrote drafts for both the NumPy and SciPy projects for Google Season of
Docs. You'll notice they are very similar - the Google person responsible
for the program suggested this may have a better chance of success instead
of sending one proposal for the two projects. Here they are for review and
feedback:

NumPy: https://hackmd.io/@melissawm/r1yuKepbc
SciPy: https://hackmd.io/@melissawm/HJqey27f9

The deadline for submission is March 25th. Feel free to add comments,
corrections and suggestions.

Thanks!

- Melissa

out so I can list you in the project.

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Bhavuk!

About Google Season of Docs: the project for this year is not yet decided,
but you can indeed follow the discussions at our Documentation Team
meetings, which happen every two weeks (the next one will happen on monday
March 14, at 4pm UTC.) You can also follow our community calendar by adding
it to your preferred calendar manager: check
https://scientific-python.org/calendars/

I have been slow in recording the meeting notes to our archive repo (
https://github.com/numpy/archive) - but the most recent ones can be found
here: https://hackmd.io/oB_boakvRqKR-_2jRV-Qjg

Let us know if you have other questions, and welcome!

Cheers,

- Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] SciPy 2022 - Call for Proposals

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks - the following text is shared by request of the organizers
for the 2022 SciPy Conference.

---

Hello Everyone,


We are reaching out to you about the 21st annual Scientific Computing with
Python Conference — also known as *SciPy 2022*
 — that will be held July 11-17, 2022 in
Austin, Texas.


The *call for submissions*  is
now open, and we would love to receive proposals from folks in your
organization. We seek submissions for *talks and posters*
 by *February 11*.
This year, in addition to the general conference track and domain
mini-symposia, we are accepting submissions for two specialized tracks: (1)
Machine Learning and Data Science, and (2) Data Life Cycle. We are also
seeking *tutorial*  submissions
by *February 15.*


This year's conference will be held in-person in Austin, Texas.
*Registration*  opens February 3
and early bird rates end May 1. Scholarships are available this year – if
you’d like to apply for a scholarship to attend, please fill out this *form*
.
The deadline for *scholarships*
 is *March 13*.


The conference will conclude with two days of *Sprints*
 focused on developing and
maintaining open source Python scientific software. In addition we are
proud to offer again our Mentorship Program and networking events with
focused topics like “Careers in Data Science.”


You can find out more about our programming at
*https://www.scipy2022.scipy.org/about*
. The full schedule will be
published later in May. In the meantime, please check out *last year’s
schedule*  and *videos of last
year’s talks and events*

to get a better idea of what SciPy conferences are like.


SciPy 2022 is shaping up to be a fantastic conference. We hope you'll join
us in July!

[Melissa Mendonça]

That is right (noon UTC). The timeanddate link at the bottom of the message
might help with that, and the alternate time should be 8pm UTC/noon Pacific.

Thanks for clarifying! Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Announcement: SciPy Community Meetings

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, all!

Some of you might be interested to know that we are organizing SciPy
Community Meetings again. The idea is to have those every two weeks on
Wednesdays, alternating between times to try and get as many timezones as
possible.

The next one will happen this week, on* February 2, at 12 pm UTC*.

Here's the hackmd we are using to take notes:

[Numpy-discussion] Wrapping up Google Season of Docs 2021

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

As of today, our participation in the Google Season of Docs program for
2021 has ended. You can see the case study detailing the work done and some
key results in the following link:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2021:-NumPy-Case-Study

There is one final tutorial in review, but overall the project has been
successfully completed.

I want to personally thank Mukulika Pahari for her hard work and excellent
contributions. She was able to quickly produce relevant documentation on
subjects that are not easy or simple. Well done! We hope you stick around
and continue working with us :)

I also want to thank Ross Barnowski for co-mentoring and all the other
maintainers who helped with ideas and reviews and hope we can participate
again next year.

Cheers!

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's meeting on Thursday, October 21

Hi all!

Our next Newcomer's Meeting is on *Today, Thursday October 21*
*, at 4pm UTC.*

This is an informal meeting to ask questions, get to know other people and
(hopefully) figure out ways to contribute to NumPy.

*This time, we are doing something different*: I am proposing we pick a
documentation issue and work on it together from beginning to end, setting
up a developer environment and if there's time, submitting a PR. This is a
chance to see the workflow and ask questions about each of the steps needed
to make that happen.

contributing - we'll do our best to support you.

Hi Paul,

Do you think having a page with the flat list of routines back, in addition
to the explanations, would solve this?

[Numpy-discussion] Re: Contributing to Numpy (non coder)

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello and welcome!

You are certainly welcome to start contributing.

Since you mentioned educational content, we are always interested in
tutorial suggestions for https://github.com/numpy/numpy-tutorials. If you
are interested in technical writing from the development point of view, we
do have a bunch of documentation issues in our GitHub repo that can be
worked on - see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/labels/04%20-%20Documentation

If you are available at that time, it might be interesting to attend our
next Newcomer's meeting (taking place on Thursday, October 7 at 4pm UTC).
We can talk about your interests and other possible ways forward there. You
are also welcome to join our community meeting, but the next one is only in
~2 weeks.

Finally, you can also join our Slack space, where we can discuss specific
questions. Let me know and I can add you there.

Cheers!

- Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] New CZI grant to support DEI initiatives in the scientific Python ecosystem

[Melissa Mendonça]

We are happy to announce the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has awarded a grant
to support the onboarding, inclusion, and retention of people from
historically marginalized groups on scientific Python projects, and to
structurally improve the community dynamics for NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib,
and Pandas.

As a part of CZI’s Essential Open Source Software for Science program [1],
this Diversity & Inclusion supplemental grant [2] will support the creation
of dedicated Contributor Experience Lead positions to identify, document,
and implement practices to foster inclusive open-source communities. This
project will be led by Melissa Mendonça (NumPy), with additional mentorship
and guidance provided by Ralf Gommers (NumPy, SciPy), Hannah Aizenman and
Thomas Caswell (Matplotlib), Matt Haberland (SciPy), and Joris Van den
Bossche (Pandas).

This is an ambitious project aiming to discover and implement activities
that should structurally improve the community dynamics of our projects. By
establishing these new cross-project roles, we hope to introduce a new
collaboration model to the Scientific Python communities, allowing
community-building work within the ecosystem to be done more efficiently
and with greater outcomes. We also expect to develop a clearer picture of
what works and what doesn’t in our projects to engage and retain new
contributors, especially from historically underrepresented groups.
Finally, we plan on producing detailed reports on the actions executed,
explaining how they have impacted our projects in terms of representation
and interaction with our communities.

The two-year project is expected to start by November 2021, and we are
excited to see the results from this work! You can read the full proposal
in figshare [3] and see this announcement at the NumPy site [4].

Cheers!

Subject: Newcomer's Meeting July 29: special accessibility mini-sprint!
To: Discussion of Numerical Python 


Hello, folks!

This week we have our planned Newcomer's meeting on July 29, at 8PM UTC.
This time, we are teaming up with Tony Fast and Isabela Presedo-Floyd to
propose a low-code mini-sprint focusing on accessibility. This is a great
opportunity to make your first contribution to NumPy!

We will be focusing on writing alt-text for images in our documentation.
Alt-text provides a textual alternative to non-text content in web pages,
and as cited in this WebAIM document [1]:

"Alternative text serves several functions:

   - It is read by screen readers in place of images allowing the content
   and function of the image to be accessible to those with visual or certain
   cognitive disabilities.
   - It is displayed in place of the image in browsers if the image file is
   not loaded or when the user has chosen not to view images.
   - It provides a semantic meaning and description to images which can be
   read by search engines or be used to later determine the content of the
   image from page context alone."

You can find some more information on how to add alt-text in [2].

As usual, all are welcome - feel free to join even if you just want to
observe!

Hope to see you around!

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's Meeting tomorrow at 4pm UTC!

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all!

Our Newcomer's Meeting tomorrow,
* June 17, will take place at 4pm UTC (instead of the usual 8pm UTC).*

This new time is meant to be more inclusive to contributors in different
time zones. I think it would be nice to experiment with alternating times
for this meeting, so I'll update the calendar and will keep sending
reminders to the mailing list.

This is an informal meeting with no agenda to ask questions, get to know
other people and (hopefully) figure out ways to contribute to NumPy. Feel
free to join if you are lurking around but found it hard to start
contributing - we'll do our best to support you.

[Numpy-discussion] Understanding Our Contributors - NumFOCUS survey

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

NumPy is participating in a research project being conducted by NumFOCUS
, our fiscal sponsorship organization. The research
is looking into understanding the diversity, inclusion and barriers to
participation within NumFOCUS-sponsored projects and the wider open source
community.

The survey  will take 15-20 min
to complete. We’d appreciate your contribution by May 31, 2021.

The results of this survey will help NumFOCUS work closely with our
projects to develop practices that will lead to project success around
diversity, inclusion and sustainability.

Click here to participate in the survey


Thank you for your participation!

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, all!

I am happy to announce we found our technical writer for the Google Season
of Docs program. After looking at all submitted proposals we have decided
to hire Mukulika. You can see her Statement of Interest here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2021-May/081746.html

We are very glad to participate again this year and sincerely thank all the
technical writers who took an interest in our project and that contacted us
about it. If you want to keep contributing to NumPy, you are all most
welcome!

Mukulika has already started doing some contributions to NumPy and we wish
her a successful project. Me and Ross will be the mentors for this proposal
but the community is also encouraged to participate with suggestions and
comments. You can check out the timeline and more details about GSoD here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's Hour!

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

I've added a new event to the NumPy community calendar: the Newcomer's Hour.

This is an event we've been running for a few months and is a bi-weekly
informal meeting for newcomers to the NumPy community. This is a place to
ask questions, technical or otherwise, meet other contributors, and
(hopefully) figure out how to contribute :) We are having one today at 8pm
UTC - here's the zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/6345425936.

To follow all the events and meetings related to NumPy and add them to your
own Google calendar, you can use this link:

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Prospective technical writer for GSoD 2021 under NumPy

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Ronnie

Thank you for your interest!

Based on our projects page, do you have any specific ideas for working on
NumPy? Because the deadline for hiring technical writers is so close (May
17) it might be worth thinking of writing your Statement of Interest as
soon as possible.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers,

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] NumPy Proposal

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Kiran, thank you for your proposal.

It would be good to see examples of technical writing - remember that the
Season of Docs program is meant for people with some experience in that
area, so if you have anything to share, please do.

Cheers,

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD 2021 - Statement of Interest

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mahesh

While you work on this, it may be interesting to keep in mind that we are
looking for high-impact work that can be done in the timeframe of the GSoD
program - examples would be reorganizing content in a section of the
documentation, creating new complete document pages on some subject or
concept. It may be worth familiarizing yourself with the documentation (I
won't suggest reading all of it as it's huge!) to get an idea for the
different sections. One idea would be to focus on the user guide, which
contains several sub-pages, and check for improvements that can be done
there.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] NumPy Tutorials

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, all!

Recently, we added a link to NumPy Tutorials to our main page (
https://numpy.org/numpy-tutorials)

This set of tutorials has been built with the collaboration of a few
contributors, who have put effort and dedication into them. Some of this
content was generated as part of last year's Google Season of Docs program,
with authors kubedoc and Ryan Cooper.

These tutorials are meant to be not only about NumPy, but about using NumPy
to solve concrete problems, which means more flexibility in terms of
content and dependencies for executing them. They are also executable as
Jupyter Notebooks, and contributors can submit their content as notebooks.
This hopefully means a lower barrier of entry for some people, and allows
us to have interactive materials online (with Binder). We also have a
dedicated tutorials section in our main documentation, which should serve a
different purpose (for example, focusing on concepts and operations
specific to NumPy).

The Documentation Team is growing and we would be delighted to have your
help. If you have comments, suggestions for improvements or other content,
please open an issue or PR in the https://github.com/numpy/numpy-tutorials
repo.

Special thanks to Ross Barnowski who has also put a lot of work into this
new site.

Cheers!

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD 2021 - Statement of Interest

Hello, Mahesh

Thank you for your proposal. One thing I would say is that some of the
things you are suggesting are already there - for example, the How-tos and
Explanations section - but I agree they can be improved!

Another question I could pose is about duplication of content: can you give
examples of duplicated content that you found in the docs?

Cheers,

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Applying as a potential technical writer for 2021 Season of Docs

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Nikita

Thank you for your interest. It would be nice to discuss a bit more about
concrete ideas you have regarding our project for NumPy. Can you elaborate
on this?

The deadline for hiring a technical writer is May 17, and before that all
candidates must submit a Statement of Interest according to the GSoD
website. We can talk before that to elaborate a more concrete proposal or
discuss different ideas.

If you have specific questions you can send them to
numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com

Cheers,

Melissa

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Kiran!

If you are interested in participating as part of the Google Season of Docs
program, please take a look at our project page:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2021:-Submitted-Project

As a reminder to you (and others), you must submit a Statement of Interest (
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-statement) at
some point - the earlier the better, as the deadline for hiring Technical
Writers is May 17.

Meanwhile, if you have any questions or would like to discuss your ideas,
you can send a message to numpy-scipy-g...@googlegroups.com.

Cheers!

Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] GSoD'21 Ideas Disussion

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Mukulika!

Your project seems very ambitious! My advice would be to focus on one of
two of those items and really spend some time on them. For example, items 1
and 5 could come together, or items 3 and 4 (we are working on item 2 and
welcome contributions, but that may be a smaller task at this point). It
depends on what you would like to focus on: writing new content or
revamping existing content.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

- Melissa

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Beginner at open source

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, Harsh

Do you have any specific questions? If not, I would suggest you look at our
contributor guide (https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/index.html) and maybe
check open issues in the NumPy github repo to see if anything looks
interesting to you.

Cheers,

Melissa

[Numpy-discussion] Google Season of Docs 2021

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hello, folks!

NumPy is hoping to participate again in Google Season of Docs this year,
and we have a couple of project ideas listed here:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Google-Season-of-Docs-2021-Project-Ideas

This year, GSoD has a different structure: we must choose only one project
idea (ideally, the one prospective technical writers are most interested
in) and submit a sort of grant proposal (details are here:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/admin-guide). If we are
selected, we can hire up to 2 technical writers to work on our project,
depending on the budget allocated to us by Google.

The final proposal must be submitted by March 26 (you can find the complete
timeline here https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline).

Feedback and input is appreciated, and please feel free to share with
technical writers who may be interested.

Cheers,

- Melissa
