Dear Sage developers, You may have heard of the mybinder.org service:
``Have a repository full of Jupyter notebooks? With Binder, you can add a badge that opens those notebooks in an executable environment, making your code immediately reproducible by anyone, anywhere.'' So now what about notebooks that require Sage? http://tmpnb.org/ is not an option because Sage is not installed there. mybinder enables the specification of the software stack to use, and the new beta version of binder just made it much easier by enabling this specification through an arbitrary Dockerfile. E.g. one that derives from sagemath's base Dockerfile. So we sprinted with Sebastian Gutsche and much help from Min Ragan-Kelley, and ta-da: https://beta.mybinder.org/v2/gh/nthiery/test-binder-sage/master https://github.com/nthiery/test-binder-sage Presumably this is the first time SageMath got to run on mybinder. And, for the same price, GAP, Pari, and Singular, thanks to all those that worked on their respective kernels and their integration into Sage. In all fairness, Sebastian made Singular win the race :-) https://beta.mybinder.org/v2/gh/sebasguts/SingularBinderDemo/master?filepath=brnoeth.ipynb Potential applications: - Live demos for notebooks using Sage/... (e.g. to reproduce the calculations underlying a research paper) - Live demos for packages based on Sage/... - Compute service for live documentation using Thebe (more on this later) - ... Next steps: - Cleanup the repo and make it into a template repo under the SageMath github organisation (https://github.com/sagemath/). This repo could be used as well as compute service for live documentation. - Lift whatever is relevant directly into the main sagemath docker image (presumably the GAP, Singular, Pari kernels; possibly the upgrade of jupyter 5.* unless this becomes unnecessary with a more recent version of Sage). https://github.com/sagemath/docker-images/issues/23 - Add the live demo functionality to Sage's sample package: https://github.com/sagemath/sage_sample/ Help welcome :-) Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas M.
