Jupyter Community Workshop: The notebook file format
We are excited to announce the next in-person Jupyter Community Workshop! It will focus on the Notebook file format.
Jupyter Community Workshops are a series of events designed to bring together small groups of Jupyter community members and core contributors for high-impact strategic work and community engagement on focused topics.
The Jupyter notebook file format has been around for 10 years. Its usage has grown in countless fields from teaching to data analysis in production pipelines. A great number of software applications and online services have added support for it.
We want this workshop to be an opportunity for various stakeholders to push forward the format while preserving its reusability in as many applications as possible. We could for example prototype a syntax for injecting variable values in Markdown cells, specify an alternative more textual format like RMarkdown, define the Markdown variant we support,… the boundary is our imagination. By the end of the workshop, we will submit those new specifications as Jupyter Enhancement Proposals to kick start the validation process for enhancing the official notebook format.
The workshop will last three days, with hands-on discussions, hacking sessions, and technical presentations. The goal of this event is to foster collaboration and the sharing of knowledge between maintainers of various platforms supporting the file format, downstream library authors and power users.
The workshop will be held at the Safran Campus in Paris suburb, France from February 28th to March 2nd, 2023. Travel funding assistance is available for attendees from academia and those from groups which are not well-represented within the Jupyter and wider tech community!
Application and all other details can be found in this form.
We are grateful to Safran Group for sponsoring this event. We are also grateful to the sponsors of the Jupyter Community Workshop series, Bloomberg and Amazon Web Services.
