General information

JupyterCon 2020 is an online event that places heavy emphasis on providing learning opportunities for all participants. It is a project of NumFOCUS, with a fully volunteer team of organizers.

What is NumFOCUS?

NumFOCUS is a 501(c)-3 non-profit in the United States. Its mission is to promote open practices in research, data, and scientific computing by serving as a fiscal sponsor for open source projects and organizing community-driven educational programs. NumFOCUS envisions an inclusive scientific and research community that utilizes actively supported open source software to make impactful discoveries for a better world.

Format for tutorials

Tutorials will consist of on-demand video presentations, and written materials presented in Jupyter notebooks. The notebooks should be complete and polished, amply narrated worked-out examples and exercises for participants.

Tutorial basic format:

• Three or four Jupyter notebooks (at minimum), each notebook corresponding to "one lesson" – printed, estimate between 10–20 pages, or 17 to 35 min to read, per notebook.
• Estimate for the material to be 1.5 to 3 hours to work through interactively.
• The notebooks are complemented with videos, 25–30 min in length (not longer); at least one video per notebook.
• Optional exercises for participants, instrumented for auto-grading.
• One full tutorial may add up to total-time-on-task by the learners of about 4.5 hours.
