Hi everyone!
I am sure many of you saw the call for proposals for Jupyter community workshops.
Since that came out I decided to put something together around diversity and inclusion of the jovyan community
I am not sure if this would fit into this event or would be better as an additional one: @minrkmentioned that a lot of issues have been opened already and that one thing that has been hard is getting enough time for people who know a11y things and people who know Jupyter things to work together on them. So maybe a workshop on that topic aiming to invite Jupyter folks and a11y folks would be good.
(If you thin kit would make the proposed event too big/broad, please anyone else feel free to build on this if you think it is a good idea. I’d help out where I can.)
My 2 cents here: I think that a workshop like this would be really nice and a valuable addition to the community. cc @yuvipanda and @minrk who are both working with Outreachy mentees this round, and might have thoughts on this!
This sounds amazing. Thank you for putting this together, @trallard! I hope this gets funded
The proposal looks great to me, although I think there’s enough material there for at least two proposals. D&I and accessibility are broad and different enough that it might make sense to have these be two workshops. However, if you think there’s enough shared interest and expertise in rolling these two into one, go for it
Tania we’d love to hear about what the experience is like, and I’d love to brainstorm ways that we can tie this kinda thing into the Jupyter community as well (I think Safia + Paige + @DougBlank are helping to think about the next version of JupyterCon, perhaps they’d be interested to learn about this as well, I don’t believe Safia + Paige are on Discourse though)
The mentored sprints idea looks very cool! @trallard do you have any plans on coming to EuroPython (in Switzerland this year ) and doing something like this?
Hi folks! Thanks a lot for the shout out I would love to have these sprints happening in as many confs as possible so I would have to liaise with organising committees.
That said if any Jupyter folks are around in PyCon it would be grand to have you as mentors on the day (I know Carol will be there but I am unsure is wearing her CPython or her Jupyter hat, or both)
We will also publish an impact report after the event for those of you interested in the outcomes
so now comes the waiting game.
