Hello, At Scipy, we briefly discussed the possibility of having the nicest plots of the John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Contest on matplotlib's website, with the code available. I personnally would love to be able to see those plots again, and the code used to generate them. It would also be a great way to advertise the use of matplotlib for high standard plotting. I would love to work on this. I was thinking that the easiest would probably to do a dedicated website, where we could easily upload the code, the data and the images in high resolution. It would also allow us to have a more modern looking website, more "commercial" than the matplotlib one. Also, we (matplotlib) do not hold the copyrights but I think scipy or numfocus does. Hence, doing this in the name of scipy (or numfocus) would avoid some legal issues. We could then be able to link to this website. What do you think? (We should also include the organizers of the contest in this discussion, but I don't really know how to contact them.) Cheers, N |

(I've Cc'd the scipy organizers list who should probably be able to address your questions).

I submitted this to the scipy papers repository, but I'm not sure where that content was posted (or if it has been yet). https://github.com/scipy/scipy2013_talks That contains the output of the Sphinx document I used to generate the results (and also what I shared with the judges prior to the conference). I can send you the Sphinx source offline. When we solicited entries, we asked for permission for the Scipy conference to use them. If we want to use them on the matplotlib website, I think we'd need to seek permission for that (or we can, of course, link to what SciPy posts). It was done this way because I didn't want it to appear to be a matplotlib-based competition (though it did turn out that way). > > I would love to work on this.

I think if there's a subdomain (or url) of scipy.org we could use for this to host some static content, that would be ideal. And then we link to it from matplotlib.org. Mike |

Hi everyone, Here is my attempt at making the website: http://nellev.github.io/tmp/jhepc/index.html This is still work in progress, but feedback is welcomed. I chose to display only the "winners" (three top place + honorable mention).

Doh, I never got the site up! This looks good, although copyright shouldn't go to Michael. We don't have copyright on the images or text just permission to display them. (I would probably just delete it or be specific what the copyright is.) I like the idea of having a site next to conference.scipy.org to display these. -- Andy On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Nelle Varoquaux <nel...@gm...> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Here is my attempt at making the website: > http://nellev.github.io/tmp/jhepc/index.html > This is still work in progress, but feedback is welcomed. > > I chose to display only the "winners" (three top place + honorable mention). > > Cheers, > N > > > On 31 July 2013 17:54, Andy Ray Terrel <and...@gm...> wrote: >> >> Okay, I'll get it up. >> >> -- Andy >> >> >> On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Michael Droettboom <md...@st...> >> wrote: >>> >>> On 07/31/2013 11:38 AM, Andy Ray Terrel wrote: >>> >>> >>> The plan was to have it on the SciPy conference website, but we haven't >>> really got it up.

> The images are being cut off on the front page slide show thing. > Because of the differences of size and shape in the images, it's hard to do a design that display them all completely in the carousel. Hence, one of them is truncated. Only one of them (the first place) should be truncated. Note that in the gallery, images are also cropped. Also, so far, I only tested this on chrome and firefox (and an old version of chromium). There might be issues with IE. And it hasn't been optimized for very small screens (smartphones). It's not completely awful, but it's not nice either. I hope to fix that soon. I fixed the copyright (Github takes a while to update the pages, hence it might not be up yet).

Yeah -- the copyright ended up to me accidentally because I filled it out as the "author" field in Sphinx in the original version. I think if we want to have an "author" it should say "Scipy Conference Organizers" (without copyright), and maybe we give Nelle some well deserved credit for the web design as well.

Sorry for this delay. I've put up the site at: http://conference.scipy.org/jhepc2013/ I'll get Jim to incorporate it in the main site. -- Andy On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 12:38 PM, Michael Droettboom <md...@st...> wrote: > On 08/08/2013 11:56 AM, Andy Ray Terrel wrote: > >> Doh, I never got the site up!
