Fwd: PyData Community Cookbook

[Francesc Alted]

Hi,

There is an ongoing effort for creating a book with examples of use of different projects related with the PyData community.  I know that there is quite a large userbase behind numexpr, so if there is anyone interested in sharing their experience using numexpr for creating a chapter for inclusion in that book, I want to hear from you.  I think this is a nice project that can give visibility not only to numexpr but also to projects to top of it.

Also, besides the guys that are working on the project already (see below), I can certainly help people providing help on the making of this specific chapter.

Thanks in advance for your collaboration!

Francesc

Dear NumExpr Project Leads:

The NumFocus Foundation is excited to share that they are partnering with Addison-Wesley to publish a book featuring PyData related projects. The goal of this undertaking is to introduce programmers and data analysts to the open source ecosystem of projects in Python supported by the NumFocus Foundation, with all royalties going to the foundation. We are asking the project leads to help us pull together a cookbook of applications, with each project to donate a chapter that includes an interesting problem best suited for your software to solve and code, along with a description of the project, and how to contribute to the project. We know that project leads are often the busiest people in the community, so the hope is that you or someone on your project could mentor a more recent contributor or student with suggesting an idea, and reviewing the chapter draft.

 

Leah Silen and Andy Terrel are working closely with Debra Williams Cauley at Addison Wesley to pull the project together. Debra will coordinate editorial support including peer review of the manuscript, developmental editing, technical editing, copyediting and proofreading. Jake Vanderplas and Katy Huff will continue to advise and assist with the project. We hope that you join our enthusiasm about the book that will showcase the amazing NumFocus projects, and the communities that have evolved through the PyData conferences.

Please let us know if you are able to contribute to this work or can recommend others who might be able to.
