[FURY][GSoC] Regarding participation in Summer of Code 2024
by Robin Roy 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

Dear Fury Development Team, I've been part of Fury since February. I always wanted to try something different and found Fury through the GSoC website. Initially, I had little idea why this library existed. But then I explored and realized scriptable animations are super important and lots of people find it very valuable. (Understanding VTK made me realize how simple Fury makes the entire process.) As a 2nd year CS undergraduate, I haven't done much scientific visualization myself, but I have used libraries like streamlit <https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit> & reflex <https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex>, and Fury looks similar to me. Since the majority of people use Python for scientific tasks, a high-performance visualization library makes a lot of sense, and this area seems niche to me. This is why I'd like to contribute to Fury :) As for experience with the library, I have one merged PR <https://github.com/fury-gl/fury/pull/861> and one PR <https://github.com/fury-gl/fury/pull/862> ready to review. I also have replied to people in the Discussions tab <https://github.com/fury-gl/fury/discussions/859#discussioncomment-8816441> and helped in clarifying confusion <https://github.com/fury-gl/fury/issues/851#issuecomment-1978189172>. How do I apply to be a part of Fury? And what idea should I work on? I'm fine with all 3 of the ideas, but I believe I have to narrow it down and study to make a good proposal. I'd like some direction regarding this. Sincerely, Robin Roy GitHub: https://github.com/robinroy03 Discord: robinroy LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinroy2003

Dear Fury Developers, I have just found out about the Google Summer of Code and I am writing to express my strong interest in contributing to the "Modernize Fury Codebase". While I was browsing the project repository for good first issues to jump-start my contribution, I noticed there weren't many currently available.Are there any other issues that would be useful to start with? However I cannot find a way to ask any questions as when I clicked on the discord link on github it said that the link had expired. Thank you for your time and consideration. I'm eager to learn and contribute to Fury in any way I can. Thank you in advance. Respectfully, Keagan

To whom it may concern, I am interested in contributing to Project 4. Dynamic text rendering with support for UTF-8 and FreeType-compatible fonts. I am currently enrolled at Datacamp where I have been studying Data Analysis with Python, R, and SQL since November 2022. I am also proficient in computer graphics, especially text rendering (baseline alignment, kerning/spacing, subpixel glyph rendering/positioning, etc.) and font handling. I have written a library for subsetting Type 1 fonts, which are widely used in TeX/LaTeX typesetting, and a couple of programs for converting OpenType fonts to WOFF and vice versa for embedding in Web pages. I have written a program that converts TeX/LaTeX math to MathML and also a library that converts Presentation MathML into other formats such as EMF, PDF, PNG, and SVG. The former maps LaTeX symbols to their Unicode equivalent (UTF-8 or UTF-32). The latter library uses FreeType for the Linux version. Together, these two can address the LaTeX rendering in FURY: LaTeX to MathML to image. However, these libraries are written in C++ and my knowledge of Python is basic. Still, I'm a fast learner and my in-depth knowledge of text formatting and fonts will prove valuable to your project. I would like to discuss more of these in an interview, and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Peter D. Frane, Jr. P.S. My GitHub projects are at https://github.com/pgfjr?tab=repositories. My MathML library is at https://reformath.webnode.page/.

To whom it may concern, I am interested in contributing to Project 4. Dynamic text rendering with support for UTF-8 and FreeType-compatible fonts. I am currently enrolled at Datacamp where I have been studying Data Analysis with Python, R, and SQL since November 2022. I am also proficient in computer graphics, especially text rendering (baseline alignment, kerning/spacing, subpixel glyph rendering/positioning, etc.) and font handling. I have written a library for subsetting Type 1 fonts, which are widely used in TeX/LaTeX typesetting, and a couple of programs for converting OpenType fonts to WOFF and vice versa for embedding in Web pages.

Hurry up! Book your spot for the DIPY Workshop in LA! April 24-28 2023!!
by Eleftherios Garyfallidis 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Dear all, Only a few spots are left. Register now: https://dipy.org/workshops/latest !!! The complete program for the highly anticipated workshop is updated and available in the link above. DIPY is a powerful software library for analyzing and processing diffusion MRI data. It is an open-source project with a large and active community of contributors who are dedicated to advancing the field of medical imaging. The DIPY workshop provides an excellent opportunity for individuals to learn how to use this software effectively. The workshop covers a broad range of topics, from basic concepts to advanced techniques, and provides hands-on experience with the software. By attending the DIPY workshop, you will not only learn how to use this powerful tool, but also gain a deeper understanding of diffusion imaging and machine learning for imaging in general. The workshop is led by expert instructors who have extensive experience in both diffusion imaging and DIPY, so attendees can be confident that they are receiving accurate and up-to-date information. [image: image.png] In summary, the workshop offers: - Hands-on tutorials - Every single day of the 5 days !!! - Guided practice sessions (bring your data - optional) - Personalized certificates of attendance - Effective networking opportunities with one-to-one follow ups - Comprehensive explanation of theoretical foundations with practical examples - Access to latest and established methods with code and interfaces - Pointers to move beyond the current challenges and navigate hard to do analyses - Multiple clinical use cases (AZ, Parkinson’s etc.) See above one of the many highlights of the workshop. Building synthetic b0s (with Synb0) in DIPY 1.7.0! More highlights here <https://dipy.org/workshops/dipy-workshop-2023#Highlight>. Please allow us to finish this email with a testimonial from one of our last in person workshops: This one is from an expert neuropsychologist: “In recent years, I've found that many scientific conferences have become plagued with pitfalls such as repetitive content, superficial networking, and a focus on self-promotion rather than genuine knowledge exchange. Attendees often leave these events with a sense of disillusionment, feeling that their time could have been better spent elsewhere. The DIPY workshop, however, was a breath of fresh air in this sea of mediocrity. It was highly interactive, engaging, and hands-on, with a genuine emphasis on learning and collaboration. The organizers went above and beyond to create a welcoming and supportive environment, encouraging researchers of all backgrounds and expertise levels to contribute their ideas and gain valuable insights. By addressing the shortcomings of traditional conferences, the DIPY workshop has rekindled my enthusiasm for scientific events and has set a new standard for what a truly productive and inspiring gathering should be.” We kept our promise! Get your tickets! See you in the workshop!
