Re: [science-iwg] What's new in Eclipse Science?

Jay,

Not much point spending effort on admin if there is little to administer (purely looking at it from my perspective not those who are participating in projects which have value to them and their users).

Hey Matt!

It's great to hear from you.  It sounds like you've had a lot of fun in the past few years!

You bring up an interesting point: many of us have moved on from the projects that initially supported our work in the SWG. How can we still contribute?

I think we can still help the community - help it grow, help it thrive - if we want.  For example, there are a lot of community management activities that people could do that don't require code, like engaging members, finding new members, working on the website, figuring out what's going on with our projects, writing for newsletters, among many more. 

It would be great to hear your thoughts on this and anyone else's too, of course.

Hi Jay Jay,

Greetings from Maine. The DAWN team has had hundreds of citations in its two main papers since I left to work on another Eclipse RCP application (called GDA) so they did very well in the last five years in terms of impact. I left GDA to work on a another Eclipse RCP application known as "Decision Space" but when I arrived in post, that employer had decided to pivot towards cloud (mostly AWS) and so the machine learning application we developed for them was actually delivered on AWS (not serverless but Kubernetes with Spring Boot and Python workers). It did integrate with the Eclipse RCP frontend they had. One of the libraries I used was January from the Eclipse Science WG and my colleagues at Diamond Light Source, however it was too slow to use for everything I would have liked at that time. In the last two years I have been using GCP more than AWS but AWS could equally well have met our needs. For example a project which compiles genetic data into a graph running in Neo4j and deployed on GCP. 

My journey in the last ten years has been Physics (and all that Diamond did) -> Geology and ML on Cloud (closed source) -> Computational Biology in and ML/AI mostly in Cloud. Which was a fortunate run to say the least. Anyway I am not sure how to contribute to Eclipse Science but it remains a great idea.

Hello every one 

I do not work any more with Eclipse ( I am now  a « datascienstist" working on R and R Shiny  in another Unit  of the French médical Research ) 

My software ( an RCP one) is still in work .. (almost 20 years ) and the one in charge  is my college and friend Vani (arulvani.arulananthan@xxxxxxxxx)


Hope she can join you 

Wish you all the best , keep on this hight spirit ! 

Best regards . Brigitte

Philip,

I know! I can't wait until we all get back together again. :)

I'd be very interested to hear more about what you're doing on AWS. I don't work in AWS, but I use it a lot and some of the ICE dev team members and I have been thinking for a while about how to use it better for workflows. I'm very interested in adapting our code generator to use CDK, RDS/DynamoDB, etc. out of the box via an "@AWS" annotation or something. I'd also be interested to hear more about how you are earning a little coin on SWTChart and ChemClipse. Congrats on that!

Great to hear from you.

Jay

P.S. - I hope we hear from some others!

Hi Jay,

great to hear!
My team already works with AWS ... so whenever you have access to vouchers, please let me know ;-).

I'm fine, we are working heavily on Eclipse SWTChart and ChemClipse. Chemistry is still a niche market in the Eclipse world, but we found a good strategy how to make money to enable maintaining SWTChart and ChemClipse in a long term.

The virtual EclipseCon was fine, but I'm longing to see you all in person again!


Best,
Philip

Hello fellow Science IWG Members! What's new in our community?

For my part, I'll share that I recently started as a Principal Engineer at Amazon working the Middle Mile org. It's a very interesting departure from my previous jobs and really exciting. I'm still contributing to Eclipse ICE and hope to find time to do even more after the holidays.

What are other folks doing? Any especially noteworthy highlights from EclipseCon?

Jay
