In June we will begin a set of weekly meetings to work on a project supported by Google Summer of Code. This issue is here to discuss plans for the first of these meetings. Expected attendees include me (Tylar Murray), Matt (@MathewBiddle), and Ayush (@ayushanand18). Let's discuss scheduling on the slack #gsoc_pyobis channel.

agenda

• introductions
  • what you are hoping to get out of involvement in this project
• discuss TDD as described in the workflow 1-pager

new issues from proposal:

• [x] Update pyobis to use the new API
  • [x] Merge in URL changes done on the forks
• [ ] Make MoF response more efficient
  • returns list of dataframes so it's more usable
  • currently nested table each occurrence has nested measurment or fact
  • some trick to use pandas to pull out the nested part (json.normalize?)
• [ ] Create tutorial usage of each module
• [ ] Clarify listing of GBIF instead of OBIS in package description ref (ref)
  • add link to pyGBIF?
  • use a notebook leveraging both pyGBIF & pyOBIS?
• [x] Increase test coverage
• [ ] Use CI push to PyPI
  • discussed w/ Felipe : used to do it w/ Travis CI, need to switch to gh-actions
• Create a Jupyter notebooks
  • what are "use cases" for each notebook?
    • search for relevant papers using OBIS|GBIF data & reproduce results in jupyter
    • [ ] see how species are moving downwards due to climate change.
      • search MoF for depth measurements & report on % that have it.
      • relevant paper
    • [ ] see how species are shifting north/south due to climate change.
  • can potentially publish notebooks to JOSS
• [ ] create CONTRIBUTING.md
• [ ] pyobis.visualize
  • create separate repo?
    • keeps pyobis dependencies light
    • makes viz libarary potentially usable w/ GBIF & other DwC data
• [ ] look into coveralls coverage
  • does it work w/ gh-actions?
  • is coverage 62%? if so: how to make it 100%?
  • maybe it just needs the badges changed

This can be the last thing we do for GSoC b/c we want to publish a working package. When the time comes we can pretty much copy-and-paste this GHA: https://github.com/ioos/ioos-python-package-skeleton/blob/main/.github/workflows/pypi.yml
