Goals for the 2023 hackathon
- Developing, enhancing, and sharing reproducible scientific content through Cookbooks
- Providing a cooperative and engaging hackathon experience to participants, new and experienced
- Creating collaborative connections among participants through group-focused hacking and networking
- Entraining a diverse group of new contributors into the Pangeo open science community
- Ensuring each participant leaves the event with a persistent and citable contribution
- Setting the Pythia Cookbook initiative on a sustainable and growing trajectory
Who is this event for?
You! The person who will gain the most from this event is already comfortable with the basics of Geoscientific Python and has already been thinking about sharing workflows in Python for data acquisition and handling, scientific analysis, and/or visualization. If you have a collection of existing notebook(s) from scientific exploration, teaching a course, writing a paper, or anywhere else you find notebooks lying around, and you want help in making them usable and available to others–even better! Is this required? Absolutely not.
What is a Cookbook?
Cookbooks are Jupyter Books bundled together with enhanced support FAIR principles via GitHub and BinderHub for sharing and reproducing workflows. These Cookbooks are designed to rely on each other and the Pythia Foundations such that unique scientific workflows and educational material can be pieced together across a variety of Cookbooks.
What do I need to participate?
Yourself, your interests, and your computer! Oh, and a free GitHub account. Ensure some familiarity with the basics of Geoscientific Python. Having some existing code, Jupyter Notebook(s), or workflow ideas will make for a smoother start, but is not required!
Consider participating by signing up to facilitate a breakout group! If you indicate this in the sign-up form, we may reach out to you to lead a group in developing or enhancing one or more Cookbooks centered around some of your ideas. We will follow-up with any specific needs breakout facilitators might need for participation after selection. We need excited breakout leaders both in-person and remote.
