:wave: @poulson - would you be able to take on this submission for us?

[arfon]

@whedon invite @poulson as editor

[whedon]

@poulson has been invited to edit this submission.

[poulson]

Hi @arfon -- I should be able to edit this in a couple days if that's ok. I am swamped with volunteering to review a batch of thirty papers for a journalist at the moment.

Hi @arfon -- I should be able to edit this in a couple days if that's ok. I am swamped with volunteering to review a batch of thirty papers for a journalist at the moment.

👍 thanks @poulson. I'll go ahead and assign you now so it's tracked for the EiCs but please pick this up in your own time.

[arfon]

@whedon assign @poulson as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @poulson

[poulson]

Thank you, @berenger-eu -- I looked through the profiles in the first set of your suggested potential reviewer list, and it seems Yoshimichi ANDOH would be the most appropriate, as they list interests in Fast Multipole Methods and C++. Eike Mueller also looks relevant given their interest in elliptic partial differential equations and numerical methods.

I have been unable to find a GitHub profile for Yoshimichi despite their name appearing in a few GitHub projects -- do you know if they have one? If not, I can reach out by email.

I believe that Kenneth Ho (@klho) of FLAM [https://github.com/klho/FLAM] would also make a great reviewer. Ken :wave: -- it's been a while, and I hope you are keeping safe right now. Would you happen to have time to help review this submisssion?

[poulson]

Along those lines, Nikos (@pitsianis) was/is a reviewer for said fast-multipole like fast linear algebra method implementation. Nikos, would you be willing to help review this submission?

[pitsianis]

Certainly. After Thursday though.

[poulson]

Thank you, Nikos (@pitsianis)! I will add you now with the understanding that it will be several days before you can circle back.

[poulson]

@whedon add @pitsianis as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @pitsianis is now a reviewer

[klho]

This looks great -- and thanks for thinking of me! -- but I just am not going to be able to put in the proper time to do this justice. Sorry.

[berenger-eu]

@poulson , sorry I was not connected for last 2 weeks (new baby at home). I do not have Yoshimichi Github login. I can ask for it, simply let me know if you need anything from my side. Thanks a lot.

[poulson]

Thank you for reaching out to Yoshimichi, @berenger-eu -- that would be very helpful. I will look for other reviewers in the mean time.

[poulson]

Hi Himanshu (@Himscipy) :wave: -- Bergenger Bramas has recommended you as a reviewer for this submission on a C++ library for parallel fast multipole methods. Would you be interested in serving as a reviewer?

[poulson]

Hi Sarat (@sarats) :wave: -- Berenger Bramas suggested you would be one of the ideal reviewers for this submission on parallel fast multipole methods (written in C++).

Would you happen to have the time to serve as one of the reviewers?

[Himscipy]

@poulson thank you for thinking about me.. I will be happy to take the role of reviewer for the submission. Let me know what is proposed timeline for reviewers feedback to complete the review. Thank you.

[poulson]

@whedon add @Himscipy as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @Himscipy is now a reviewer

[poulson]

Thank you for being willing to help review this submission, Himanshu (@Himscipy)!

Ideally we could get your initial review feedback within the two weeks after the review officially starts (hopefully we can add a third reviewer first).

Please feel free to also review the guide for reviewing for JOSS here: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reviewer_guidelines.html

[berenger-eu]

I did mail Yoshimichi ANDOH 10 days ago to ask him if he was interested to review and tell me to put a message here. So I guess he cannot make it as we did not receive any news.

[poulson]

Thank you, @berenger-eu -- I followed up with one of the invited potential reviewers by email and hope to hear back soon. If not, I will dig back through the potential reviewer list to find more possibilities.

[sarats]

@poulson Yes, I can review. The Github notification got buried in rest of the noise.

[poulson]

@whedon add @sarats as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @sarats is now a reviewer

[poulson]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/2444.
