We’ve had a few conversations in the last week where different sub-communities are interested in applying for another round of CZI EOSS funding ( funding call here ). Here are the efforts that I know of: Accessibility in JupyterLab + the broader Jupyter ecosystem spearheaded by @trallard and @isabe…

I am submitting a proposal for Papyri , to improve and add navigation to IPython/Jupyter docs when using the ?/?? operator, both in IPython (terminal), and notebook or Lab. See attached screenshot for the terminal prototype. My goal is to also have access to narrative docs from within the ? pager a…

Regarding Jupyter-related CZI grant proposals, I think that it is very important that there is clarity about the legal entity applying for funding (company, university, non-profit). If it is a different organization than the project itself through NumFOCUS, there should probably be some kind of app…

Yeah I agree - when we last applied for the Contributor in Residence program via JupyterHub, we needed to get Steering Council approval, though it was unclear whether that was just to use the NumFocus account, or if it was to allow us to apply “as Jupyter(Hub)”. That said, it might be better to make…

For mine I was planning to apply through NumFOCUS. Speaking if that is there a convenient list of previous EOSS number for previsous applications ? They will be needed for anything jupyter_related for the LOI.

By the way: I wonder if we could synergize the DEI component of the JupyterHub proposal with others in the Jupyter community. I think our hope for that one was that we could pay for ~50% of a person’s time to do a combination of: Strategic planning around community growth Wrangling mentorship and…

Just a note per @SylvainCorlay 's point above - I don’t believe there are any community guidelines about what process individuals/groups should follow for this kind of “for the open source project” funding. I’ve opened up this issue to track the item + discussion: When can projects apply "on behalf …

Thanks. Just to clarify, I think that anyone should be able to apply to any source of funding to contribute to Jupyter. However, to present this an an official application by Project Jupyter, there should be an official endorsement by the project governance.

Yeah totally - there’s a difference between “applying for funding related to Jupyter development” and “applying for funding on behalf of the project/community”. Presumably, the latter case should carry more “weight” associated with it, and as such there should be a clearer process for it to ensure c…

As a note, when doing applications we can add collaborators with R or R/W permission. I would suggest we that when funded via numFOCUS we at least give R access to them to make it easier for them to see the state of the proposals.

As an update my papyri LOI was accepted for full application. I’ll start a separate thread later to get feedback on the full application. I’m looking forward to hear positive news for the other LOIs.
