'Use Cases' section on opendreamkit.org
Our web site now has a Use cases section, currently available from the Project menu. It's meant to hold short documents such as this one with the following structure:
- A user-centric scenario
- A suggestion of solution (or solutions)
- Links to favorite instances; estimate of the number of such instances.
- Time and expertise required
- Links to tutorials, relevant software, etc.
- What's new since ODK started
- ODK's contributions
Such documents can be both useful to our readers (providing them with operational solutions and best practices) and to us (showcasing our work, with a concrete perspective on the impact of our actions). In particular it will highlight the versatility brought by the toolkit approach.
Currently, there is a single use case; we should write more! By design they can be relatively short and fun to write, so please volunteer.
Here are some suggestions:
- [x] Publishing interactive textbooks (@marcinofulus)
- [x] Publishing live talk slides with SageMath + Jupyter + Rise + binder (@nthiery)
- [x] Publishing reproducible logbooks (@nthiery)
- [x] Real time collaboration (@minrk)
- [ ] Getting training (Soft Carpentry, ... @VivianePons, @alex-konovalov)
- [ ] Teaching / training with Jupyter
- [ ] Exploiting modern architecture (@ClementPernet)
- [ ] 3D visualization (@marcinofulus, ...)
- [ ] A group of coauthors wanting to collaborate on code/paper/...
- [ ] Making a software package trivial to try and access (reproducible live documentation and live demos, easy installation)
- [ ] Deploy your own VRE (@defeo?): a lab wanting to provide remote access to its computing resources
- [ ] Providing (remote) access to (hosted) interactive software to the students in a class
- [ ] University/Institution/European Infrastructure wide deployment to provide researchers with easy access to computing resources, software and data
- [ ] A community wanting to deploy a dedicated VRE (e.g. JOOMMF's VRE) (@fangohr ?)
- [x] WP6 use case: multi-system math calculations with the Math-in-the-Middle (@kohlhase ?)
Any others welcome!
Once we have enough documents, we should also make the use case section very prominent; possibly moving it to the front page.
Related to the forthcoming workshop, maybe
- [ ] Write high-level code that runs at « native speed », either using a ffi tool or a compiler
[ ] Write high-level code that runs at « native speed », either using a ffi tool or a compiler
That's a very good point: we should have use cases about performance, and in particular the ease of writing fast code.
There remains to frame this into a compelling user story. Something that makes a visitor reading the scenario immediately think "ah yes, I have been in those shoes; many people will need that"!
A group of coauthors want to collaborate on the GAP code in the GitHub repository, not organising it in a form of GAP package, but using the same as GAP packages for CI and test coverage. Eventually they put a demo of their code in a Jupyter notebook, runnable on Binder, and used the RISE extension to use the same notebook in a slideshow mode.
This is https://github.com/sukru-yalcinkaya/unipoly described in the Appendix to D5.15.

That sounds very nice! Are you willing to write up a brief use-case document about it?
@nthiery I do. They also have a press-release at https://www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk/in-abstract/adjoint-representations-of-black-box-groups/. Collaborative visits were supported by CCP-CoDiMa, and then we agreed that this could be a basis for an interesting demonstration of ODK.
An abstract use case would go further - start the project this way, instead of organising the code after, and submit is as a supplementary material to the paper when it is published.
and an announcement of the system itself (for 8/2019) that we should have done earlier.
Katja has written two new posts and committed them, but they are not showing up on the web page (for two hours). I wonder whether that is still too busy, ...
They were missing a .md extension. Fixed.

@minrk: thanks for the use case on collaboration!
- What about "asynchronous collaboration" instead of "long term collaboration"?
- About real time collaboration: would there be a tutorial to link to on how to set it up?

Great suggestion!

Yes, I'm working on a demo of this. The Work-in-Progress in JupyterLab is in a bit of a transition, so I'm trying to figure out what will demo best.
Hi @VivianePons, @alex-konovalov, I just realized that we really should have a use case about "getting training". Pointing to the pages for codima, gap days, sage days, software carpentry, ... A good occasion to highlight odk contribution, special diversity events, but also that he will last after odk. And to include a couple cool pictures. Would you be willing to write such a use case?
@nthiery @VivianePons good idea - and also about delivering training (for which they can use our training materials).

Yes; so really two different use cases:
- Getting training
- Teaching with Jupyter
I added both to my wish list in the first comment of this issue :-)
