| 130 | +## About |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +### Work Topics |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +The 2025 November Scientific Python Developer Summit will focus on work topics our participants express the most interest in. For comparison, these were the focus areas for the summit held in May, in Seattle: |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +- **Data analysis**: statistics, optimization, sparse data, plotting, and dataframes. |
| 137 | +- **SPECS**: Community & governance SPECs, new SPECs, infrastructure & tools, etc. |
| 138 | +- **Tools**: CI, build, testing, cookie-cutter, new tools (https://tools.scientific-python.org), etc. |
| 139 | +- **Communications & teaching**: devstats, mystmd, lecture notes & learn |
| 140 | +- **Security**: supply chain, pull request review, tooling & infrastructure, web of trust |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +### Dates |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +The summit is held 5-7 November 2025 in Copenhagen, Denmark. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +Attendees should preferably arrive the day before the summit starts, and stay for the entire duration of the summit. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +### Pre-Summit Planning |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +See [planning issues](https://github.com/scientific-python/summit-2025-nov/issues). |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +Participants will be responsible for attending at least one video meetings and for participating in a planning repository via PRs, issues—as both contributors and reviewers. |
| 153 | +There is no heavy top-down structure: participants themselves will organize the work that needs to be done ahead of time. |
| 154 | +They will decide on topics, divide the work, and schedule the meeting. |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +### Summit Execution |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +The goal of the summit is to be a hands-on work meeting. |
| 159 | +That said, there will be some free time scheduled to brainstorm new ideas, and to discuss current community projects and activities. |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +### Post-Summit Implementation |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +After the meeting, attendees will collaborate on their assigned tasks until completion. |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +## Meeting notes |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +To be posted. |
