About

This file hosts a contribution to JupyterCon 2020.

Slides

The slides are actually a Jupyter notebook that is available via http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4031806 , along with a recording of the talk.

A copy of the notebook is also available via https://public.paws.wmcloud.org/User:Daniel_Mietchen/JupyterCon-2020/JupyterCon%202020%20talk.ipynb .

Video

Feel free to ping me via GitHub, on Twitter or via email.

History

The content below mostly pertains to the submission and to the preparation of the talk and is kept here for archival purposes.

I submitted the proposal on 21 July 2020. On August 22, I was notified of its acceptance. They requested confirmation that I still plan to give the talk, which I provided. On September 4, they sent me detailed instructions regarding how to do and submit the recordings of the talk by mid-September, as per this dedicated ticket.

Form fields

The submission form has a number of fields. I will document my responses to the non-personal ones below.

Title

  • Jupyter in the Wikimedia ecosystem

Audience level

  • I chose "Novice" since the options were "Novice/ Intermediate/ Expert"

Brief summary

Short paragraph, maximum 400 characters. If your proposal is accepted, this will be in the public program.

Jupyter interacts in various ways with Wikipedia and its sister sites. It forms the subject of some wiki pages, while Jupyter notebooks serve as references in others, help generate illustrations, assist in wiki editing or serve educational or testing purposes, and a JupyterHub facilitates such activities. This talk will look into how such interactions can be strengthened further to mutual benefit.

Outline

This is a self-contained statement that summarizes the objective of the proposal, its outline, central thesis, and key takeaways. After reading the description, the audience should have an idea of the overall presentation and what they will learn. The description should also make clear what background knowledge is expected from the attendees. Include links to relevant source code, articles, videos, or other information that add context to your proposal.

This presentation is intended to (i) make the Jupyter community more familiar with current and potential usages of Jupyter in Wikimedia contexts, (ii) explore how Jupyter resources can become more findable and accessible by leveraging the reach of Wikimedia projects. It will be given based on https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/events/blob/master/JupyterCon-2020.md and does not assume any background knowledge other than a basic familiarity with Jupyter.

After a brief introduction to Wikimedia projects - which include Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata and similar collaborative sites - we will explore existing usage examples of Jupyter in Wikimedia contexts. Based on the assumption that the two communities are mission-aligned and would benefit from closer interaction, we will then consider potential usage examples based on overlaps in mission and activity of the Jupyter and Wikimedia communities.

In closing, developers and maintainers of Jupyter-based educational materials or Jupyter-related functionality shall be stimulated to consider whether and how such materials or functionality might fit into the Wikimedia ecosystem, or, conversely, how they can leverage Wikimedia resources for educational and related purposes.

Affiliation

For the purpose of this talk.

  • School of Data Science, University of Virginia, USA

Past experience and any other information you would like the reviewers to know.

If you have given a talk or poster before, feel free to include links to slides or videos.

I briefly hinted at some aspects of the interaction between Wikimedia and Jupyter in my 2017 JupyterCon talk - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Via7gBrjxHI#t=4m55s . For other recordings of talks I gave, see https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/events/blob/master/recordings.md .

Is this your first time presenting at JupyterCon?

  • No.

Reviewer comments

  • "Make sure the presentation has live demos of these current usages and previews of the potential ones."
  • explain benefits and downsides (ideally for both sides) of linking from Wikipedia to the Jupyter ecosystem and back

Slides

DOI for the talk

The DOI has been reserved, but will only be activated upon posting of the materials.

Notes

Outlook

Some ideas of what's possible but has not been realized yet

  • Turn Project Jupyter's A gallery of interesting Jupyter Notebooks into a Wikibase that has the NotebookViewer extension installed to view notebooks, links to Binder to facilitate re-running them, and has a SPARQL endpoint that allows to query across the collection, perhaps in a federated way.
