Re: clojure, not the go to for data science

2015-12-19 Thread Boris V. Schmid
Just noticed one of my research paper made it to the showcase :-). Thanks 
for that!

As for clojure resources: I have been mainly used clojure itself, and 
visualization libraries, (incanter, quil and gg4clj [to make plots in R 
with ggplot2, but you can use it to run any R code]), and sometimes a stray 
java library for smoothing or clustering things. The inter-op with java is 
often not too bad. I use light table as an IDE.

Re: clojure, not the go to for data science

2015-12-19 Thread Christopher Small
You're quite welcome; I was happy to add your work there :-) It's always
wonderful seeing folks using Clojure for scientific research. I'm happy to
add similar showcasings to the list.

I should add that I've been wanting to make it easier for folks to submit
suggestions through the site, and add interactive features, but I've been a
bit busy. If anyone else is interested in contributing, I'd be grateful.

Cheers

Chris

Re: Clojure community organisation

2015-12-19 Thread Toby Crawley
I've been discussing with Tom Marble the feasibility of putting
Clojars under the umbrella of the Software Freedom Conservancy, since
it has an OSS codebase (which is a requirement for the SFC, and
something that is lacking from the CCO proposal, since moving Clojure
itself under the SFC isn't an option). If Clojars is accepted to the
SFC, it would allow us to take larger donations and corporate
sponsorships. I expect we would have more money than we need for
Clojars itself (we are approaching that now with the BountySource
campaign), and I intend to use the extra money to fund development of
other OSS tools in the Clojure community.

We would also be willing to take over handing the GSoC funds (again,
assuming we get accepted into the SFC).

If a community organization comes into existence in the future, we
would be willing to hand GSoC fund management over, and potentially
direct our extra funds that way as well. Basically, I see
Clojars-as-a-community-organization as a stepping stone to a broader
community organization, if anyone ever takes that step.

I'm working on the SFC application now, and just have a few more
questions to answer. Once that is done, we'll be on the list for
consideration by the SFC Evaluation Committee, and should be evaluated
in the next couple of months.

Devin: I have a few questions for the application that I'm hoping you
can help with, since they relate to the redesign work you were
involved in last year. I'll send them off-list.

Re: Clojars maintenance this weekend

2015-12-19 Thread James Elliott
I second both of those thanks. And what timing, I just happen to be 
catching up on this mailing list right as the upgrade is happening, so I am 
perfectly forewarned. I hope it goes smoothly!

Also, evidence of karma? Shortly after contributing to the Clojars 
Bountysource campaign, I received an unexpected and unsolicited 
contribution for my own open-source project which relies on Clojars. ^_^

The Clojars maintenance is complete, and went off without a hitch.
