Jupyter at the Workshop on Maximizing the Scientific Return of NASA Data (30-31 Oct 2018)

[Tyler Erickson]

On Oct 30-31 NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) will be hosting a workshop to support development of their strategic plan:

"SMD seeks to develop a new Strategic Plan for Scientific Data and Computing to guide the evolution of the array of data and computing systems supporting research across the four science areas within SMD over the next five years.  To inform this work, SMD is hosting a Workshop on Maximizing the Scientific Return of NASA Data on October 30th and 31st in Washington, D.C.  The workshop will bring together thought leaders from academia, industry, and government to gather community input on a new, whole-of-SMD approach that leverages advances in information technology to enable groundbreaking scientific research. "

The workshop capacity is capped at 200, but as a speaker I have been told that I can bring along a guest. I would like to use that guest pass on someone who could represent the Jupyter community, so that NASA SMD is fully aware of the project, technology, and community. Preferably that Jupyter representative would have an interest in the application of Jupyter technologies to geospatial data, given that is what the NASA SMD focuses on. 

Agenda is here:

Note that there may be an opportunity to give a Jupyter-focused lightning talk on Oct 30. 

Please connect me with anyone you think would be interested in representing the Jupyter project.

Cheers,

Very cool! Have you heard about the Pangeo project? It has been a really interesting example of a collaboration between multiple communities, with JupyterHub doing a lot of the heavy lifting for an interesting scientific use-case. They've also already got a relationship with NASA: https://medium.com/pangeo/nasa-access-c3515a44f31b

A few of the JupyterHub community members have been involved with that project, most notably Yuvi Panda, who did a lot of technical guiding and mentoring as they set up their cloud deployment. (not sure if he's on this list or not).

Yes, I am aware of the Pangeo project, and I agree that is a very interesting example.

I think JupyterHub is one of most important of the Jupyter sub-projects that the SMD should be aware of, with examples of how it is being used to support 1000's of users (Canadian research orgs, UC Berkeley). Yuvi would be a great representative. It doesn't look like he is a member of this group, but I will reach out to him separately.

Thanks!
