  1. Thanks to a blog post by D. Beazley about sys.displayhook

    in Python 2 Interactivity: Humans in the loop!
  2. What I can not create, I do not understand Richard

    Feynman Scientific: black boxes don’t belong in science
  3. SciPy 2003 @ CalTech Eric Jones John Hunter, 1968-2012 SciPy:

    Scientists collaborating across disciplinary boundaries for the fun of building better tools, rather than competing for papers.
  4. Jupyter: beyond Python u a l j i ~90 different

    kernels: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels
  5. What do we build? ❖ Low-level standards: ❖ Messaging protocol,

    notebook format ❖ Reusable libraries that implement them ❖ User-facing applications ❖ IPython, Jupyter Notebook/Lab, JupyterHub, … ❖ Services that make them accessible ❖ nbviewer, try.jupyter All in support of an open ecosystem
  6. protocol and format ❖ Core foundations ❖ Capture lasting, important

    elements of human-centered computational processes ❖ But meant for machines to digest well! ❖ Archival, reusable, multi-purpose 100% open: work with us, don’t reinvent at this level!!
  7. Berkeley’s Foundations of Data Science ❖ Interactive textbook is Jupyter

    Notebooks ❖ Course deployment is JupyterHub ❖ Based on original effort by Jess Hamrick (2017 PhD) ❖ Ryan Lovett, Yuvi Panda, Vinitra Swamy, Gunjan Baid, Chris Hench, Claudia von Vacano… data.berkeley.edu, data8.org inferentialthinking.com
  8. A sustainable future for Jupyter & friends? When [platforms] try

    to extract too much value for the platform owner, they ultimately fail… Platforms must create more value than they capture if their ecosystem is to survive. Tim O’Reilly - WTF? What’s the Future and Why It’s Up To Us
  9. A personal note ❖ IPython was born out of deep,

    hard failure ❖ The SciPy community saved me! ❖ Impostor syndrome is still very real ❖ Scientist, doing software, crossing disciplinary boundaries…
  10. I trust this community to continue to be as welcoming

    and open as it can be innovative. Let’s keep building tools that contribute to an open, collaborative, accessible and fair society. 2018!
