The Scientific-Python Development Guide has been updated with SPDX licenses (PEP 639) and dependency-groups (PEP 735)! There's more uv, too; the cookiecutter/copier template now sets up uv everywhere for ultra fast CI. New repo-review checks, too. learn.scientific-python.org/development/...

2i2c has officially become part of the mybinder.org federation, introducing a new, cost-effective, and faster approach. We hope to make it easier for more people to join the federation by contributing a single-node BinderHub at 2i2c.mybinder.org.

This press release:
www.nasa.gov/universe/new...
is about the Open Universe simulation dataset we at IRSA are helping to release and make available via the cloud.
Here is a Python Notebook exploring this data set:

In addition to the astrostatistics scholarship, the general International Scholarships are now advertised at @Macquarie_Uni - come work with us on exoplanets & stars; astronomical instrumentation; and stats in physics and astronomy!
Applications close 2 March.
New year starts with a new release. astroquery v0.4.8 is out, with lots of fixes and enhancements. And big thanks to all who contributed code in the past year.
Get yours with `pip install -U astroquery` or from the conda-forge channel.

My goals also include actively deleting stuff. Technical debt, non-functional parts that we just carry along as it takes time to remove, will have to face their fate. Somehow I'm more excited about this and other maintenance projects than creating the new stuff.
We did/do it during hybrid talks: make everyone post their questions at the same online forum and have the chair read them. This already filters out a lot of narcissistic and bullying Qs. As a speaker it's a bit weird at first not knowing who to address the answer to but overall it's a better setup
Our local library is superb for ebooks, but also for audiobooks. And the app moved the whole experience to the next level: no late fees for forgetting about a book, it sends reminders and then returns everything on time
And now I opened this link into a tab as a useful looking tool that I should come back later to try out 😅
After a long hiatus I was at a conference full of talks. It was awful. Then I just realized that I got spoiled with events where the "Hallway Track" is a fully legit and most treasured feature and people choosing it over talks are celebrated rather than shamed (and anyway the talks will be on YT).
Congrats to the 2025 BSSw Fellowship Class! Making #scientificsoftware & #developerproductivity better!

👋 I'm new here, but not new to Python.
👋 Hello, is there anybody in here? I suppose it's about time to try new things 😆
