Jupyter Community Workshops: Call for Proposals for Jan-Aug 2020
We are pleased to announce the third call for proposals for Jupyter Community Workshops is now open!
The majority of Jupyter’s work is accomplished through remote, online collaboration; yet, over the years, we have found deep value in focused in-person workshops. In-person events are particularly useful for tackling challenging development and design projects, growing the community of contributors, and for strengthening collaborations. Jupyter Community Workshops is a series of community-organized events to enable such gatherings. For examples of recent workshops, see the proposals funded in the last round).
We are grateful for the initial and continuing financial support by Bloomberg that makes these workshops possible. We are also excited to announce that the program is expanding with additional financial support from Amazon Web Services. If your organization would like to support this program, please contact NumFOCUS.
The third call for proposals for Jupyter Community Workshops is open through Sunday, December 15, 2019.
Jupyter Community Workshops bring together small groups of Jupyter community members and core contributors for high-impact strategic work and community engagement on focused topics. Our vision is that the events funded in this round would occur no later than August of 2020.
We are particularly interested in workshops that explore and address topics of strategic importance for the future of Jupyter. We expect the workshops to involve up to about two dozen participants over a 2–4 day period, and have a total Jupyter-funded budget of up to $20,000 for reimbursing direct expenses such as travel, lodging, meals, or event space (note this is not a grant with overhead or indirect costs). It is our intent for the workshops to include both participants who are core Jupyter contributors, as well as stakeholders and contributors and potential contributors within the larger Jupyter ecosystem. While not the primary focus of the workshops, it would be highly beneficial to couple the workshop with broader community outreach events, such as sprints, talks, or tutorials at local meetings or conferences.
For examples of recent workshops, see the proposals funded in the last round).
Proposal Process Highlights:
- Submit initial proposal using this form by Sunday, December 15 (Anywhere on Earth).
- Initial Steering Council review (up to a week). Proposal goes to Steering Council for initial review and feedback. Proposal is either approved or declined.
- Budget and Logistics Development (up to four weeks). Operations Manager will support workshop organizer who work will develop a venue/date proposal, detailed budget, event plan, and proposed list of participants.
- Final steering council review (up to a week). Proposal presented for final approval to steering council, including final budget, event details, and an estimate of the potential impact of the event. Assuming the budget included in the initial proposal is fully developed and no major changes are proposed, this period may be waived.
The proposal process for these workshops is managed by the Director of Jupyter Cal Poly, Ana Ruvalcaba (jupyterops@gmail.com), NumFOCUS and the Jupyter Steering Council. Applications can be completed using the online form and are due by Sunday, December 15 (Anywhere on Earth). Events should be hosted no later than August of 2020.
