Hi all,
congrats to the OpenDreamKit team, who did an amazing job with an insanely competitive grant application. We're delighted to be able to collaborate with them, and look forward to having our EU-based operation grow :)
Cheers,

Dear Sage developers,
We are delighted to announce that the Horizon 2020 research proposal
OpenDreamKit was accepted by the European commission:
opendreamkit.org
Starting next Fall and for four years, this project will provide
substantial funding to the open source computational mathematics
ecosystem, and in particular popular tools such as LinBox, MPIR,
SageMath, GAP, Pari/GP, LMFDB, Singular, and the IPython/Jupyter
interactive computing environment.
The total budget is about 7.6 million euros. The largest portion of
that will be devoted to employing an average of 11 researchers and
developers working full time on the project in Europe. We will
announce job openings in the coming weeks; stay tuned!
Additionally, the participants will contribute the equivalent of six
other people working full time. Altogether the project involves about
50 people spread over 15 sites in Europe.
This is a formidable recognition of the strength and maturity of this
ecosystem, of the power of open source development models, and of the
amazing hard work of many communities over the last decades.
The writing of the proposal itself was open and collaborative. It grew
out of a reflection on the long term needs of the community. It
benefited considerably from the feedback of many; we would like to
thank all those who helped shape this proposal and make it happen.
It is our hope that this financial support will help push forward
critical technical tasks. We tried hard in the proposal to make a
worthwhile selection of such tasks, within some constraints imposed by
the specific call. We are now legally committed to treat those tasks
in priority. This kind of long term prediction work is tough: one of
them has actually already been completed by the community in the mean
time! This is great; whenever this will happen we will be able
reprioritize the resources to whatever emerging needs that will arise.
Ultimately, this project belongs to the community. Get involved!
Cheers,
Nicolas

That is so exciting! Congrats Nicolas and team!
Might we ask what the IPython/Jupyter bits were?

There are teams at Simula (led by Hans Petter Langtangen, where Min will be in the future), Southampton (Hans Fangohr, where Thomas will be) and Sheffield (Neil Lawrence) who will all participate. If you want to read the full proposal, it's all on github:
they also wrote a nice post about the process (which I witnessed, and I have to take my hat off to Nicholas for an incredible leadership in producing a very coherent document under crazy constraints, something that is really, really hard):
We really look forward to the opportunities this will open up on the EU side, and again, congrats to Nicholas and the entire ODK team. Now the real work starts :)
Cheers

There's a user interfaces 'work package', which includes:
- Full convergence of Jupyter and Sage notebooks
- Collaboration with notebooks (both version control improvements and support for Matthias' live collaboration work
- Reproducible notebooks with testing of output
- Documentation and introspection for dynamically defined objects
- Structured semantic documents, possibly building on notebooks
- 3D visualisations in the notebook
- A case study building a virtual research environment for the micromagnetic field, based on Jupyter, along with notebook resources for this, and a tmpnb instance for people to play with it.
This is just a summary, for the details, see page 44 and onwards in the PDF available on opendreamkit.org.

Yes, many congrats on this. Very exciting to see this moving forward
and expanding the European side of funding for this ecosystem.
