Jupyter Widgets Workshop, Tuesday Jan. 23rd to Friday Jan. 26th 2018, south of Paris

PAD: https://www.lri.fr/etherpad/p/jupyter-widgets

Aim

Get Jupyter Widgets developers to meet for a week of coding sessions with a few presentations. This will be a good occasion to foster synergy, get everybody to meet, and resolve common issues.

Target audience

  • developers & users who make an advance use of Jupyter widgets & friends.
  • developers who have built custom widget libraries making use of Jupyter widgets.
  • developers who have contributed to ipywidgets core, and core Jupyter developers.
  • developers who have built widgets backends for other kernels.

Location

The workshop will be hosted at the Alan Turing building of Ecole Polytechnique, about 20 miles south of Paris. C.f. map.

Room planning

(Caveat: in Europe, floor indexing starts at zero with the ground floor!)

  • 23/01/18 :
    • morning: 9h00 - 13h00 : Gilles Kahn
    • afternoon: 14h00 - 18h30 : Emmy Noether (2nd floor) + Evariste Galois (ground floor)
  • 24/01/18 :
    • morning: 9h00 à 13h00 : Gilles Kahn
    • afternoon: 14h00 à 18h30 : Henri Poincaré (ground floor)
  • 25/01/18 :
    • morning: 9h00 à 13h00 : Henri Poincaré (2nd floor)
    • afternoon: 14h00 à 18h30 : Henri Poincaré (ground floor)
  • 26/01/18 :
    • matin: 9h00 à 13h00 : Gilles Kahn
    • après-midi: 14h00 à 18h30 : Grace Hopper (2nd floor)

Accommodation

Since it is a bit ex-centered, there are not many options for accommodation in the area. One of them at walking distance is at the EDF nearby research campus adjacent to Ecole Polytechnique.

Nearby workshops:

  • there will be an installment of the PyData Paris Meetup on Jan. 31st.

Organizers

@SylvainCorlay, based on original discussions with @nthiery, @jasongrout, @ellisonbg.

Hi Everyone, here is an (evolving) summary of the current situation:

  • The widgets workshop will be held at the CMAP Laboratory at École Polytechnique from January 23rd to January 26th.
  • We have around 30 confirmed attendees, 24 of which will be staying on the campus, in a corporate lodging facility of the EDF research campus, which is at a walking distance from CMAP.
  • The agenda for the meeting is being edited by the attendees as a google doc. I will post it in this issue comment shortly before the beginning of the workshop. The will leave a lot of time for hacking sessions so that collaboration between teams happens organically.

I'm interested and would be willing to help line up some travel funding. January is better for me due to our proteus developers' workshop in December, which is alongside the American Geophysical Union meeting, 11-15 December in New Orleans.

I know that New Orleans meeting is not convenient for most on this list, but I'd be willing to devote a day of our developers' workshop to geosciences/geospatial/viz widget development if there is interest from people in the area (anybody from GTRSI. That could at least produce a wishlist to feed into a widgets workshop.

@jasongrout

Definitely interested. Early January might be a better timeframe for me - @ellisonbg and I are going into heads-down mode to get JupyterLab out the door, and some of the improvements in the underlying framework there will likely lead to lots of possible improvements in widgets, and could coincide with the start of a push towards dashboarding overall.

@stargaser

This is a great idea! I would definitely attend.

That is a great idea, I am likely in Europe December/January anyway.

also to add another potential project to your list, there's a (fairly young) neuroimaging widgets package developing here:

I should be Europe end of Dec/January as well, so happy to participate.
+1 on trying to get travel funding. And excited to see this across languages.

I would be very interested in going, however having paid my way for JupyterCon I think my attendance would be contingent on travel funding, especially if it's outside the US.

I'm interested as well. Attendance subject to boss approval :)

Hi all - I may be able to arrange hosting in the north of Germany - I'll check and get back.

Regarding time scales: I would say we should do this after the release of JupyterLab as @jasongrout suggested, so not before 2018?

Is there any value in having a JupyterLab workshop as well so that current Jupyter Notebook users and developers get an overview of what is new and possible both in more general terms and in particular in terms of widgets? (If so, then this should be done before the widgets workshop, I suppose.)

Would this be of interest for kernel developers which want to provide backends for iPyWidgets in their kernel?

@SylvainCorlay Have you settled on any more specific dates? I need to plan other events for January, so it would be very helpful to have more certainty around it. As such, any dates you know that the workshop will not be held will also be very helpful!

OK, I am getting back to you with dates before the end of the week.

Would this be of interest for kernel developers which want to provide backends for iPyWidgets in their kernel?

FYI, we are writing a backend in C++ here https://github.com/QuantStack/xwidgets/

You can try it live in the following binder: https://beta.mybinder.org/v2/gh/QuantStack/xwidgets/0.4.0?filepath=notebooks/xwidgets.ipynb

The C++ kernel and this library rely on xeus, a C++ implementation of the protocol meant for facilitating the creation of kernels. Any xeus-based kernel can make use of xwidgets.

By the way @sebasguts there is also a xeus/xwidgets backend for bqplot here https://github.com/QuantStack/xplot/

@scottdraves

Another reimplementation of the kernel side of the widget protocol, including new widgets and the standard jupyter js widgets: https://github.com/twosigma/beakerx

it's similar to xeus but java instead of c++.

@sebasguts

@SylvainCorlay @scottdraves Thank you. I am going to have a look at xeus soon, even if it probably means reimplementing a lot of stuff. Lets see how this works out.

Hi Everyone, As per the email that was sent to you already:

As you know, the Jupyter Widgets Workshop will be held from Tuesday Jan. 23rd to Friday Jan. 26th 2018.

We just had the confirmation that CMAP Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique will be hosting the workshop.

École Polytechnique is located about 20 miles south of Paris. C.f. map here:

https://www.google.fr/maps/place/%C3%89cole+Polytechnique/@48.8008252,2.1598867,11.43z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x47e6788dd891b127:0x43c2be8ce6d1821e!8m2!3d48.7142971!4d2.2112917?hl=en

Since it is a bit ex-centered, there are not many options for accommodation in the area. But don't book your hotel quite yet: we are waiting for a confirmation by a corporation which has a research campus adjacent to Ecole Polytechnique, and may be able to provide accommodation for the whole group at a walking distance from the venue of the workshop. Stay tuned!

One more information: if you plan on staying in the area after the workshop, there will be an installment of the PyData Paris Meetup on Jan. 31st.

Do you have more info about the timing? In particular, at what time do we start on 23 January? It matters for me because if we don't start too early, I would arrive Tuesday morning. Otherwise, Monday evening.

AN email should go out soon, we're reviewing informations to make sure they are correct and complete.
