The event is held at the [eScience Institute, UW Physics/Astronomy Tower, 6th Floor, 3910 15th Ave NE, Seattle](https://goo.gl/maps/EfkoHtvZad3fYMx77).
63+
64+
_A friendly reminder that we are guests of the eScience Institute, and
65+
that some members of their research staff will continue working in the space
66+
during our event._

## Funding
76+
77+
Unlike previous years, participation costs for this year's summit are covered
78+
only for those invited as part of the special track on statistics (for that, we have targeted grant funding).
79+
80+
Project maintainers, please reach out to your individual projects to determine
81+
whether they have funds to sponsor your attendance.
82+
83+
## Logistics
84+
85+
We have space for 40 participants for three days and four nights.
86+
This will be an invite-only event that requires upfront agreement to:
87+
(a) take part in one or more pre-summit planning meetings,
88+
(b) collaborate with fellow participants on a work plan,
89+
(c) attend the summit in-person, and
90+
(d) participate, to whatever degree possible, in several months of post-summit implementation.
91+
92+
### Airport to hotel
93+
94+
There is no need to get a rental car or taxi/ride-share, as the airport and the UW campus area is well-served by bus and rail.
95+
We recommend using Link Light Rail to get from the airport to the hotel. It takes approximately an hour and costs $3.25.
96+
The closest station to the hotel is "U-District" (0.3mi away), which is a new station opened in 2021 and is not to be confused with the station in Downtown called, "University St", neither with "University of Washington".
97+
98+
### Food
99+
100+
Coming soon
101+
102+
### Participants
103+
104+
Participants are recruited from the community of developers of packages
105+
such as NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, xarray, pandas, scikit-image, scikit-learn,
106+
NetworkX, and IPython, as well as domain stacks including Astropy, Pangeo, and
107+
scikit-HEP.

## About
119+
120+
### Goals
121+
122+
The 2025 Scientific Python Developer Summit will focus on statistics, optimization, sparse data, plotting, and dataframes.
123+
124+
The Developer Summit provides an opportunity for core developers
125+
from the scientific Python ecosystem to come together to:
126+
127+
#### 1. Improve joint infrastructure
128+
129+
Collaborate to adopt and improve infrastructure, tools, and processes
130+
used across projects. This includes infrastructure already described
131+
in Scientific Python Ecosystem Coordination documents (SPECs), as well
132+
as, but not limited to, tools for documentation, testing, benchmarking,
133+
packaging, and Continuous Integration (CI).
134+
135+
#### 2. Better coordination of the ecosystem
136+
137+
A central goal of the Scientific Python project and, by implication, the summit, is to better coordinate maintenance of the different projects.
138+
139+
#### 3. Work on shared strategic goals
140+
141+
A strategic plan would identify core needs and future challenges of the scientific Python community.
142+
Rather than focusing on the technical details of one particular project or domain area, the strategic plan would discuss the challenges shared across projects and domains.
143+
The plan can be used by the community as supporting evidence when applying for grants.
144+
145+
### Dates
146+
147+
The summit is held May 11-15, 2025 in Seattle, WA.
148+
149+
Attendees should preferably arrive the day before the summit starts, and stay for the entire duration of the summit.
150+
151+
### Pre-Summit Planning
152+
153+
See [planning issues](https://github.com/scientific-python/summit-2025/issues).
154+
155+
Participants will be responsible for attending two or more one-hour video meetings (the planning meetings mentioned above) and for
156+
participating in a planning repository via PRs, issues—as both contributors and reviewers.
157+
There is no heavy top-down structure: participants themselves will organize the work that needs to be done ahead of time.
158+
They will decide on topics, divide the work, and schedule the meeting.
159+
160+
### Summit Execution
161+
162+
The goal of the summit is to be a hands-on work meeting.
163+
That said, there will be some free time scheduled to brainstorm new ideas, and to discuss current community projects and activities.
164+
165+
### Post-Summit Implementation
166+
167+
After the meeting, attendees will collaborate on their assigned tasks until completion.
168+
169+
## Meeting notes
170+
171+
To be posted.
