Jupyter Facilities at PEARC'19 ?

[Michael Milligan]

Hi all -

The CFP for PEARC'19 is out, and the proposal due date for panel sessions is March 13. I would like to gauge interest in proposing a Jupyter Facilities session. Is anyone already working on such a proposal? If not, I am willing to take lead on developing one. Either way, consider this a call to nominate yourself (or other willing parties) as potential session organizers or panelists!

If you are not familiar with PEARC: the acronym is "Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing", a conference series that grew out of XSEDE and ARCC. This will be its third year, and so far I have found it to be the densest existing gathering of academic research computing practitioners. Last year many papers mentioned Jupyter and there was a definite hunger for more Jupyter experience, so I think there would be significant interest in a session along these lines.

All the best from chilly Minnesota!

Michael

Hi Michael- I'd be interested in joining in proposing a session with you.

Best,

Hi Michael, we're (cc'd) interested in helping with the proposal from NERSC.

Hello all,

With the due date for the PEARC'19 panel proposal nearly upon us, I wanted to reach out to those who got back to me, and put out a final call to anyone on the Jupyter Facilities list who might want to jump onboard. If you or someone you know would like to join, please read below for the information I need from participants/organizers. In the unlikely event we suddenly have too many interested parties, we will rebalance among the participant and organizer categories.

As a reminder, here is the CFP we are responding to:

https://www.pearc19.pearc.org/call-for-participation

Panel sessions may be either 90 (preferred) or 60 minutes in length and will be scheduled concurrently with or as part of parallel track sessions. Proposals should be extended abstracts (2-4 pages) that discuss the proposed topic, list the names of the organizer(s) and panelists, and describe the specific contributions of each organizer or panelist. For panels that are similar to those presented previously by the same or similar organizer(s), the proposal should identify the venues of recent offerings and differentiate the PEARC19 proposal from prior offerings. Submissions are due by March 13, 2019.

As of now I have the following participants/organizers listed based on the responses I got. Each person listed, please send me a paragraph or two responding to the request above for "specific contributions of each organizer or panelist", which I will interpret to include a description of how Jupyter and interactive research computing are leveraged by your institution. Also let me know how you want me to identify your affiliation.

Participant Organizers (will be at PEARC and sit on the panel):

Aaron Culich (Berkeley)

Rollin Thomas (NERSC)

Rick Wagner (Globus)

Michael Milligan (MSI)

Non-participant Organizers (assisting but will not sit on panel):

Andrea Zonca (SDSC)

Thanks and best regards from (still chilly) Minnesota,

Michael

Hi Michael, thanks for putting this together.

Do you have a Google doc or something that we can work in together?

Here's my first stab at a paragraph or two:

Aaron Culich from the Data-Intensive Social Sciences Laboratory (D-Lab) @ UC Berkeley will address strategies for managing multi-scale deployments of JupyterHub across multiple organizational units. What to do when one-size does NOT fit all and there are too few staff to meet the growing demands for JupyterHub across teaching, research, and sharing results with the public.

At least that's a rough start. Send us a doc and let's continue iterating there!

Thanks and best regards from (chilly by bay area standards) California,

Aaron
