Discussion of Python in High Energy Physics https://hepsoftwarefoundation.org/activities/pyhep.html
python in macOS Catalina, the header at the top of Python’s startup says:WARNING: Python 2.7 is not recommended.
This version is included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software.
Future versions of macOS will not include Python 2.7.
Instead, it is recommended that you transition to using 'python3' from within Terminal.
Yes the lightning talks were a lot about a way to get everyone to introduce itself to everyone else. I was hoping for more such talks but in the end I guess people were a bit shy … maybe because the session was a first? For sure we will do this again.
I think so, it is new and people don't yet know how to deal with this, but they will learn.
pyhepmc I thought we could fold this into scikit-hep
@henryiii I found out about this through an email sent to PyData meetup members (PyData is under NumFOCUS). This is a fixed-duration campaign, like an NPR pledge break, not an open repository for donations, like Wikipedia.
To be clear, I'm not saying it's good or bad—I'm just a little surprised. It could be an attempt to diversify their funding sources so that it's not all corporate. I just don't know, so I thought of sharing it here, given that we depend strongly on these projects.
:)
From a quick look there are no tests in there. Would you have a .lhe file to provide for testing? Thanks :-).
Hi all. Tomorrow is the first day of the SciPy 2020 call for proposals: https://twitter.com/SciPyConf/status/1204141195095662594
I will be submitting one for pyhf and I hope that other people will be making submissions for talks and posters as well. It is a highly competitive candidate pool where they annually get hundreds of applications for a few tens of speaking spots (last year there were 168 applications for 60 spots), so I'd encourage everyone applying to take a look at talks from previous years (up on the Enthought YouTube channel) and applications to see what successful talks looked like.
If it is of interest, I have my proposal for a pyhf talk last year up on GitHub. It wasn't accepted for a talk, but it reviewed well enough that it was invited for a poster anyway. The reviewer comments are also included. https://github.com/matthewfeickert/SciPy2019-Proposal/

(Sorry for the cross-post; but I can't be sure how much overlap there is between Scikit-HEP and PyHEP.)
From HSF-GSoC:
Less than a week until the deadline for submitting GSoC project ideas !
We are sending this gentle reminder targeting people who are planning to submit a proposal for this year's GSoC, but who did not make yet a pull request in the HSF repository. The deadline is next Tuesday, Feb 4 as announced already few times. We have less than 10 proposals so far, only 5 published and the rest being reviewed; last year we had 54 proposals! Please do not let this submission for the last minute since there is also a review process.
For convenience, here are the instructions (https://hepsoftwarefoundation.org/gsoc/guideline.html) for submitting a proposal. In case you have problems doing this yourself, do not hesitate to send the proposal content (following the format from the guideline) by e-mail to the admin team.
