Hi all! Brandon, my name is Gus, I'm a materials science PhD student. I have not yet contributed to scikit-image, but I would like to start, and Marianne has recently been so kind as to start showing me some of the associated ropes with contributing. I'm happy to pass on some of the Git/GitHub/version control/general best practices that she has passed on to me. Perhaps we could start tackling a few issues together or in parallel for support? I was also talking to Marianne about working on a demo for the gallery, so this is also something that the three of us (and anyone else interested in this mailing list) can work on together. I am a bit busy with work at the moment trying to get a paper done before an early June deadline, but once that passes my schedule will open up! Feel free to follow up with me outside of this mailing list. Gus On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 2:41 PM Marianne Corvellec < marianne.corvellec@ens-lyon.org> wrote:
Hi again Brandon,
No worries: You've got to start somewhere, right? Have you browsed through our 'good first issues' ( https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+l... )?
Which one(s) would you like to tackle? Otherwise, would you like to contribute a small demo to the gallery (https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/)? Maybe you could recreate a microscopy application, even as a toy example version?
Cheers, Marianne

Hello Marianne,
My handle is 'beeread'; however, I haven't made any personal projects.
You probably won't find much, if anything, on my profile.
The scripting work I've done for my company is small-scale and has never
surpassed 1000 lines of code. The largest project I worked on involved using OpenCV to do basic image processing on our electron microscope micrographs. I cannot legally share any of this work.
These disappointing facts motivate my outreach - I'd like to start
developing a public portfolio of projects that I can eventually showcase to apply to jobs such as ( https://www.gene.com/careers/detail/202104-110437/cryoEM-Senior-Scientific-R... ).
Thank you for your consideration, Brandon Read

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your interest! What's your GitHub handle, please? Alternatively, do you have a company or personal web page showcasing your current or past projects?
Thank you, Marianne

Hi all,
I'm interested in contributing to scikit-image but I am new to
scientific programming. I studied physics in undergrad and have a minor in bioinformatics. As a result, I'm familiar with oop, data structures, and algorithms. I'd like some mentorship to get started on actually developing / contributing code. I'm interested in image processing for structural biology applications, and sometimes in my spare time I write scripts for my current company. However, it is not production-grade, and it is quite hacky. I'm hoping that through contributing to scikit-image, in whatever way possible, I can gain some skills and give back in parallel.
According to the scikit-image website, mentoring is available and it
seems like contributing to open source is encouraged. Would anyone be interested in mentoring me?
Thank you for your time, Brandon Read _______________________________________________ scikit-image mailing list -- scikit-image@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to scikit-image-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/scikit-image.python.org/ Member address: marianne.corvellec@ens-lyon.org
