Use this cookbook for FOSS4G-NA Dask workshop?

[jsignell]

I am going to be presenting a Dask workshop at FOSS4G-NA 2 (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial, North America) in late October. It’s a 3 hour slot and I am planning on covering the basic concepts of Dask and touching on the rest of the Pangeo stack. I would like to build on existing work and store the final version somewhere that is group-owned.

This cookbook seems really great and I'd love to build off of it! Would you be open to me opening some PRs? My plan would be:

• Read through all the material and suggest updates
• Potentially add a section on delayed/futures
• Update some language to make it less NCAR-specific (Remove NCAR branding and source images more consistently #13)
• Try to find a public option for how to run the tutorial without relying on binder EDIT: I just realized that project pythia has its own binder instance so maybe this is a non-issue

Just for context I also posted an issue about this on the Pangeo discourse

Hello @jsignell ,

Thanks for your interest on contributing this. This is great! 🙌

Update some language to make it less NCAR-specific

I am open to all the ideas above. I can work on adding a section on delayed/futures if you are interest.

Update some language to make it less NCAR-specific

The materials from this cookbook came directly from NCAR Dask Workshop, so that is why there is NCAR-specific languages, but I am 100% open to updating it.

Yay!! I really like what you've got in here! I'll be taking a deeper look next week and you can expect some PRs to start rolling in :)

Hey @jukent Can you please add @jsignell as a collaborator to the repository? I am not the owner of this repos and cannot do this.

[jukent]

I've added @jsignell to the Pythia organization.

[jsignell]

Thanks @jukent! Do you mind giving me write access on this specific repo as well?

[jukent]

Done!

Hello @jsignell ,
I just wanted to reach out about this. Do you have any other contributions or PRs you want to make for the FOSS4GA-NA?

[jsignell]

Thank you! I am certainly not writing delayed/futures 😅 I intend to do a final look over tomorrow morning, so there might be one more PR but it'll just be any last typos or extra explanation.

[negin513]

Okay, I'll keep an eye out if you have a new PR, to review and merge it quickly.

Aside from FOSS4GA-NA, I think writing a section on delayed/futures might be beneficial for the community. Maybe after FOSS4GA we can have a quick meeting to discuss the time and effort required for it. (I know everyone is busy and that is the biggest limiting factor 😉 )

Ok workshop is this afternoon! Thanks for your help with this
