Re: [yt-dev] SciPy abstract submission

Hi Nathan, Interesting. I was under the impression (from Anthony) this was a possible thing. I'll write to the organizers' list and ask. I think a detailed abstract is a good idea. We can start by fleshing out what's already in the abstract. -Matt On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 1:42 PM, Nathan Goldbaum wrote:

Hi all,

So there seems to be two issues with submitting our abstract.

First, there doesn't seem to be a way to add additional authors to the abstract. Matt, I think you're on the organizing committee for the conference - is it appropriate for us to be submitting a talk with more than one speaker? How do I indicate that on the abstract submission form.

Second, in addition to the abstract, which we've already written, there needs to be a "Detailed Abstract" -- the form indicates this should be an outline for the talk -- which will not be printed in the program but will be made public on the conference website. We'll need to collectively write this before we can submit our talk for consideration.

Hi all,

I submitted the sprint. Anyone else want to take a crack at the abstract for the talk?

Hi Matt,

Like I mentioned in the last e-mail thread, I'm interested in going to scipy. I had in mind taking more of a leadership role for a yt talk, if only so I can get my name and face out there a bit more prominently as I get ready to apply for jobs.

I think that's a great idea. As I noted ... "I do not have any particular interest in acting as the primary presenter." :) I think we should divide it up between people that are attending.

Would you be interested in having more input from me on the abstract?

Yes.

...

Right now it's mostly focused on things in your wheelhouse.

Alternatively I'd be happy to submit a separate abstract if you think that would be best.

It's up to you, but I'm moderately -1 on that.

Hi everyone,

The (nominal) due date for submissions for SciPy2014 is next Friday: https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2014/ . I think we should aim to have a strong presence there -- I've heard from a couple people they plan to be there, which is *awesome*. For various reasons, I am only going to be traveling to the yt workshop in Santa Cruz and SciPy for a little while, so I am planning to be there the entire duration. There are a few things I think we should consider:

* A joint talk introducing yt 3.0, where everyone in attendance either participates in the talk or acts as ambassadors. I want this to be submitted to the general track. I do not have any particular interest in acting as the primary presenter. * Sprints! For sure. * Possibly a talk submitted to the astro track about domain-specific stuff, like Hilary's spectrum generator, or John's Chandra generator, or the integration with Rockstar, or even AGORA. * We should participate in the WSSSPE workshop, which will be on Thursday afternoon. Looks like right now I'll be co-chairing this. * We may consider submitting a poster in addition, which emphasizes things like outreach using yt.

Here are my drafts of the sprint and talk abstracts. You should be able to provide comments on them by right-clicking. If you want direct edit privs, let me know.

Options I think we should pass on:

* yt-centric tutorial: we will get to the point that I think this is a good idea, but I don't think we'd get enough people signing up for it. * yt-BOF. It might be worthwhile to consider setting up a BOF for data analysis of spatial data, though. (Not just GIS.)

I will be submitting a talk about ZeroPy as well.
