The Jupyter Project: Opening cultures, from science to data-driven journalism
In this talk, Fernando Pérez will briefly describe the Jupyter project (evolved from IPython), and how its flagship, the Jupyter Notebook, allows open collaboration to emerge in a variety of contexts: A tool that was originally built for scientific computing today enables data-driven journalists, educators, bloggers and more to share narratives that weave equal parts computation, data and natural language to tell a story. We will see how these tools can support rich data-driven journalistic narratives, hopefully leading to a richer dialog between the journalists and a more informed public.
