Re: [Numpy-discussion] "Become an Open Source Contributor" workshop

[Scott Collis]

Hey Jamie, List,
Having just come back from a conference where our toolkit, Py-ART [1] 
has picked up a nice following of people keen to contribute I was 
wondering if you will be opening this up via a google hangout or similar?


I would love to advertise this to our users. We all want more 
contributors and a big roadblock is understanding the fork and pull 
request system of GitHub


We did run a course that had some GitGub etc here: 
https://github.com/scollis/SusSoPrac You are welcome to use anything 
liberally!


Cheers,
Scott

Here's the new developer workflow page for scikit-image, I'm sure many
other projects have similar ones:

http://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/contribute.html

Perhaps you can harvest some ideas.  Also, a beginner's summary to git
workflow:

http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/

It's a lot to teach in only an hour or two, so if I were teaching I'd
keep it simple (basic) and clear (to make sure the students can "keep it
in their heads"), and to make sure they have a clear avenue for
questions when they get stuck after the class.

This is pretty cool! And, I think perfect for a presentation or the like.

But for teaching, I find that one of the valuable things I do is make
mistakes at the command line (or iPython notebook, or editor...), and then
show the students how I discover and recover from the mistake...

just a thought

If you are going to do work at a terminal, I'd suggest using a library like
doitlive (http://doitlive.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) so you can't make
mistakes while still making it look like you are actually typing everything
at a terminal. You will also be able to share your exact terminal sessions
with the students if they want to come back to it later.

[Numpy-discussion] "Become an Open Source Contributor" workshop

[Jaime Fernández del Río]

Apologies for the cross-posting.

The Data Science Student Society of the University of California San Diego,
or DS3 @ UCSD as they like to call themselves, will be holding biweekly
Python themed workshops starting this fall.  On the week of October 19th,
they will be having yours truly doing a "Become an Open Source Contributor"
piece.  It will be a shortish event, 60-90 minutes, so my idea was to cover
the following:

   1. (15 min) An introduction to the Python data science landscape.
   2. (30 min) An overview of the GitHub workflow that most (all?) of the
   projects follow.
   3. (30-45 min) A hands on session, where we would make sure everyone
   gets set up in GitHub, and forks and clones their favorite project.  Time
   and participant willingness permitting, I would like to take advantage of
   my commit bits, and have some of the participants submit a simple PR, e.g.
   fixing a documentation typo, to NumPy or SciPy, and hit the green button
   right there, so that they get to leave as knighted FOSS contributors.

And this is what I am hoping to get from you, the community:

   1. If anyone in the area would like to get involved, please contact me.
   I have recruited a couple of volunteers from PySanDiego, but could use more
   help.
   2. I'm also hoping to get some help, especially with the introductory
   part.  Given that the crowd will mostly be university students and some
   faculty, it would be great if someone who actually knew what they were
   talking about could deliver a short, 10 minute talk, on Python, data
   science, and academia.  I'm sure we could arrange it to have someone join
   by video conference.
   3. If you have organized anything similar in the past, and have material
   that I could use to, ahem, draw inspiration from, or recommendations to
   make, or whatever, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!

Jaime

You could create a `foolscrap` repo in the numpy project on github and use
that. That would probably be useful for other people as well.
