Sessions
Scientific Python Ecosystem Coordination (SPEC) documents (https://scientific-python.org/specs/) provide operational guidelines for projects in the scientific Python ecosystem. SPECs are similar to project-specific guidelines (like PEPs, NEPs, SLEPs, and SKIPs), but are opt-in, have a broader scope, and target all (or most) projects in the scientific Python ecosystem. Come hear more about what we are working on and planning. Better yet, come share your ideas for improving the ecosystem!
In the open-source community, the security of software packages is a critical concern since it constitutes a significant portion of the global digital infrastructure. This BoF session will focus on the supply chain security of open-source software in scientific computing. We aim to bring together maintainers and contributors of scientific Python packages to discuss current security practices, identify common vulnerabilities, and explore tools and strategies to enhance the security of the ecosystem. Join us to share your experiences, challenges, and ideas on fortifying our open-source projects against potential threats and ensuring the integrity of scientific software.
