scikits.image sprints at EuroScipy and SciPy 2011
by Stéfan van der Walt 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi everyone Just a heads-up about two upcoming scikits.image sprints. The first will be at SciPy 2011, held in Austin, Tx from 11 to 16 July. Then, we'll do the same at the EuroSciPy conference from 25 to 28 August in Paris. Thank you to Emmanuelle Guillart for taking care of the arrangements! At EuroSciPy, we'll be in the room next to the scikits.learn guys, so there should be some great cross-pollination and collaboration happening. If you're around, come and join us to finalise the 3.0 release! Here are the important dates again: * SciPy: July 11 - July 16 2011, Austin, Tx * EuroSciPy: August 25 - 28 2011, Paris Regards Stéfan

A made a minor tweak that made the table fit in (at least on my browser). Cheers Stéfan

I think I'm going to hold off onto the name change until the discussions in the other groups have been finalised. I don't think waiting is going to make the choice easier, but it does make it easier right now :) Cheers Stéfan

For me the jump from sk -> scikits in our name would be similar to that from scy. The y is evocative of scipy and python in a way which could be good?

If that seems more natural we can make a plan. I feel the plural works better.

I'm opposed to skyimage, as that will be hard to search for easily, but scyimage could work. -- Neil Muller drnlmuller(a)gmail.com I've got a gmail account. Why haven't I become cool?

Sounds reasonable. What about scyimage or skyimage? Then one can pronounce the import without without entering consonant mode i.e. esskayimage. What is the policy on scikit vs scikits? http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/ while scikits on the website text for example. If one builds a brand one should standardize on one or the other. 2011/7/17 Stéfan van der Walt <stefan(a)sun.ac.za>: > Hi all, > > I'd like to make you aware of the discussion on the scikits learn > website regarding package renames: > > http://j.mp/pt9bcg > > The problem is that the "scikits" namespace causes numerous problems > during package installation, and that we may need to consider renaming > the package. > > Since we recently moved over to > > http://scikits-image.org > http://github.com/scikits-image > > I suggest that we maintain this branding, and consider renaming the > package itself to "skimage", so that you'll do > > import skimage > > instead of > > import scikits.image > > Feel free to discuss name suggestions etc. (but do read Gaël's post first). > > Thanks! > Stéfan >
