Hi all, Is anyone interested to write or contribute to a chapter about SciPy for a PyData Community Cookbook? We're a bit late (but so are most people), so ideally we get this organized within a day or two. It can be a single-author or multi-author effort. The projects that submitted an abstract so far all seem to do 2 or 3 authors: https://github.com/pydata/pydata-cookbook. I'm happy to contribute, or if there's a lot of interest leave it to others. Would like to see it happen though - SciPy should really not be missing in this book. Cheers, Ralf ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andy Ray Terrel <andy@numfocus.org> Date: Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 12:14 AM Subject: PyData Community Cookbook - August Update To: Cc: pydata-cookbook@numfocus.org Hello everyone, You are receiving this email because you were either invited and committed to join our project. Please feel free to forward this message to a more appropriate list or person. For questions please email pydata-cookbook@numfocus.org. Katy Huff and myself are starting a project to build a cookbook of advanced material for the PyData community. The cookbook will be published by Addison-Wesley. We have invited a number of contributors to see if such a project would have some interest and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. The book will cover several major topics, organized as such, with some sample packages: - IDE: IPython/Jupyter - Data Structures / Numerics: NumPy, Pandas, Xray, PyTables - Viz: Matplotlib, Bokeh, Seaborn, yt - Algorithms / Science: SciPy, Scikit-learn, Scikit-image, statsmodels, sympy, gensim - Performance / Scale: Cython, Numexpr, Numba, Dask, pyspark We expect each submission to be about 15 - 20 pages describing an example of the power of each library. While we have reached out to the projects about putting each submission together we are happy to accept chapters for libraries we did not initially identify. To facilitate the book we have put together a repository for collecting and reviewing submissions at https://github.com/pydata/pydata-cookbook . We are asking for submissions in rst but would appreciate any other files, such as jupyter notebooks or code, for a digital appendix as well. If you read this far and are interested in contributing. The proposed schedule is the following: Sept 1: Submit a pull request with a title, abstract and author list for the submission. Nov 15: Submit a completed chapter. Dec 31: Reviews for chapters finished. Jan 31: All chapter revisions due. Thanks for you time! -- Andy R. Terrel, PhD President, NumFOCUS andy@numfocus.org

I had several projects that might have been interesting, but the code was written for work and I would have needed to get permission from my former employer to publish it... Chuck

Just to be sure, is that a yes, a maybe or a no to contributing? Warren is in (thanks!). Anyone else? This would be a great way also for newer contributors to help promote SciPy and participate in a book editing process. Cheers, Ralf
I am probably not able to provide any original contributions, but if you want someone of middling competence with Python/SciPy to look over examples and try to get things going from what you produce, I would be happy to help. Maybe that's the target audience? I was also a copy editor and would be willing to copy edit, if another set of editorial eyes would be useful. -- bennet On Mon, Sep 5, 2016 at 4:34 PM, Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Bennet, thanks for the offer - help with editing and feedback on the content would be great. The target audience is indeed medium to advanced users. I've started an abstract PR at https://github.com/pydata/pydata-cookbook/pull/7. If you can comment there that would be helpful, if I have your GitHub handle I can include you in any follow-up content. Cheers, Ralf

Somewhat reluctant no, I don't think I will have the time and don't want it hanging over my head. <snip> Chuck

I would be happy to contribute. Andy said "We expect each submission to be about 15 - 20 pages describing an example of the power of each library." SciPy has a pretty diverse collection of subpackages, so the first question I have is whether we try to find one big example that uses several of the subpackages, or instead provide several examples, each focused primarily on one of the subpackages.

Ralf

Either way could work I think. It's related to the choice of which subpackages to focus on. I'd suggest a selection out of the more polished and actively developed higher-level ones: interpolate, optimize, signal, sparse, spatial, stats. Things like linalg, special, fftpack are used mostly under the hood, hard to make standalone nice examples from. Maybe two examples of 10 pages each that use 2-3 subpackages? Ralf
