Upstream Is Everyone’s Business: How Can Industry Contribute to Jupyter? - Inessa Pawson, OpenTeams

Upstream Is Everyone’s Business: How Can Industry Contribute to Jupyter? - Inessa Pawson, OpenTeams This session is intended to be a facilitated discussion about the opportunities and obstacles people encounter when trying to contribute to the Jupyter ecosystem from within a company. SESSION FORMAT We will begin with a brief framing of the question and a few common models for organizational participation in open source. Most of the session will then be dedicated to experience-sharing among participants. The final portion of the session will synthesize the discussions into 4 questions: 1. What gets in the way? 2. What is already working? 3. What could the Jupyter community try next? 4. What could companies try next? Participants will leave with practical ideas they can bring back to their workplaces and their Jupyter projects. INTENDED OUTCOME The session is an opportunity to map how companies currently interact with the Jupyter ecosystem: where participation makes impact, where friction exists, and where relatively small changes could make contributing easier. The discussion may provide a foundation for future guidance for Jupyter community leaders on how organizations and their employees can become better upstream participants in the ecosystem.
