Began planning for the second hybrid PyHC Fall meeting since the pandemic lifted.
To be held Monday, Nov 11th - Wednesday, Nov 13th (on Zoom and in-person at LASP).
Meeting content will follow past PyHC biannual meetings, with a combination of presentations, discussion sessions, and hackathon sessions. Lots of emphasis this time to be placed on PHEPs and PyHC governance structure. Meeting web page here.
Session Title: Innovative Python Software in Solar and Space Physics
Session format: Poster
Total abstracts received: 11
The PyHC Lead attended in-person and presented at both CEDAR 2024 and the COSPAR 2024 meeting.
Telecons/Website Updates
We continued to hold biweekly telecons as schedules allowed.
Topics included a PHEP 3 discussion (PyHC Python & Upstream Package Support Policy), a vote on PHEP 2 (outlining PHEP templates; passed first vote!), an overview of the new HelioData system, and a presentation on building tools to analyze FAIR for HDRL datasets.
Several more updates were made to the PyHC website during this quarter, as well:
Updating package metadata (PlasmaPy, solarmach, solo-epd-loader), adding info for AGU and DASH/IHDEA sessions, new packages added (amisrsynthdata, PyAuroraX), and a creation of the PyHC Fall 2024 meeting page.
Funding
