Main goals
The PyCon 2018 conference, which took place in Cleveland, is the largest annual gathering for the community using and developing the open-source Python programming language. It is produced and underwritten by the Python Software Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing and promoting Python. Through PyCon, the PSF advances its mission of growing the international community of Python programmers.
OpenDreamKit implication
OpenDreamKit Sheffield member, Tania Allard, developed and delivered a workshop using OpenDreamKit supported technology at PyCon2018.
Event summary
Workshop and open materials on Reproducible analysis in Python: these materials cover the essentials on how to develop workflows with a reproducibility approach.
The workshop was first delivered in PyCon 2018 to over 60 attendees from all over the world.
The materials were further extended to add more content on Jupyter notebook validation using OpenDreamKit-developed nbval and also on property based testing
