Python packaging can be a thorny subject, but there's no reason you have to go it alone! This week's pyOpenSci newsletter is a fantastic read from our Executive Director and Founder, Leah Wasser, Ph.D., where she'll walk you through her latest PyCon talk: Friends don't let friends package alone! #Python #OpenSource #OpenScience #PyConUS #PythonPackaging

Collecting baseline data that aligns with the goals and outcomes of your project, program or organization is critical to do at the beginning. In our latest newsletter, Leah Wasser, Ph.D. explains why Python package health metrics are so important to the long-term success of pyOpenSci. #OpenSource #OpenScience #Python #pyOpenSci

The elements of a Python package include: 💻 Code ✍️ Documentation 🔍 Tests 📃 an OSI-approved license 🧰 Infrastructure 💜 Maintainers are at the core, making sure everything works and is up to date while fixing bugs and addressing user concerns. Want to learn more? Come dig into the details of Python packaging, and learn to create your own package, in our five day Open Science Fall Festival series! https://buff.ly/3ZtofMk #OpenSource #OpenScience #Python #Quarto

We were feeling ✨ inspired ✨ and dove into our archives for this week's newsletter, and we couldn't say it better than our Executive Director and Founder, Leah Wasser, Ph.D.: Free and open source software tools are the foundation for thousands if not millions of scientific workflows. Yet, it is rare that users fully understand it’s importance in moving science forward. Here, I discuss the value of free and open source software for science; why you as a scientist should care; and what pyOpenSci is doing to try to support Python scientific tools for science. #Python #OpenSource #OpenScience #FOSS #pyOpenSci

⛰️ Grab your gear and join us on an adventure! In our latest newsletter, Executive Director and Founder, Leah Wasser, Ph.D., shares details from the monumental past two years of pyOpenSci! She covers it all, including: 📜 a brief history of pyOpenSci 🪚 building Python packaging consensus in developing the pyOpenSci packaging guide 🏃 pyOpenSci at PyCon US and SciPy Conference 2024 🌱 the growth of the pyOpenSci software peer review program 💗 the thoughtful, kind, and supportive pyOpenSci community 🌎 building a sustainability model for pyOpenSci 🌅 what's next for pyOpenSci #OpenSource #OpenScience #Python #Community #pyOpenSci

We are launching our first pyOpenSci Open Science Fall Festival! This is a training event where you will learn how to 1. Write cleaner, more modular and package-able code 2. Package your Python code 3. Publish your Python code to and install your code from PyPI, Conda-forge and GitHub. And get a DOI so you can cite your code too. 4. Create reproducible interactive reports and documents using Quarto! Each day includes afternoon office hours to help you through any kinks that you experience in the morning. Scholarships are available. This is a paid conference-like training event that kicks off with a keynote talk that is free to attend for everyone.

📣 The pyOpenSci Fall Festival is happening, and we can't wait to see you there! It's going to be five incredible days of online community training and networking, all designed to empower scientists with in demand open science skills. We've got an amazing line-up of speakers and educators, and are putting the finishing touches on everything before we launch our ticket sales, but get a sneak peek at what's in store in our latest newsletter! #Python #Conference #OpenScience #OpenSource

We've finally caught our breath after an amazing time at SciPy Conference 2024, and wanted to share our favorite highlights in this latest post from our Executive Director and Founder, Leah Wasser, Ph.D.! Read on to learn about: 🙌 Three incredibly successful pyOpenSci-led events: a tutorial, a talk and a 1.5 day sprint. 🏃♀️ Over 35 GitHub issues and pull requests submitted by contributors during our sprint. 📦 Almost all of the 30 learners at our tutorial had never created a Python package before, and most of them were successful creating their first Python package. 💜 Connecting with new and old colleagues and friends. #OpenSource #OpenScience #Python #pyOpenSci #Community

We have such an incredible contributor community at pyOpenSci Felipe M. 's contributions include infrastructure that is empowering the scientific #python community to translate our python packaging guidebook and tutorials to other languages. In addition to other work, Felipe kicked off the Spanish translation process. And now we have a Japanese translation underway! This is the beauty of #opensource community work. You never know what direction it will go. But you always know that it will move in a direction that is amazing and profoundly impactful!
