| 103 | +## Logistics |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +We have funding (i.e., for travel, food, and lodging) and space for 40 participants for five days and six nights. |
| 106 | +This will be an invite-only event that requires upfront agreement to: |
| 107 | +(a) take part in two of the three one-hour pre-summit planning meetings, |
| 108 | +(b) collaborate with fellow participants on a work plan, |
| 109 | +(c) attend the one-week summit in-person, and |
| 110 | +(d) participate, to whatever degree possible, in several months of post-summit implementation. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### Local Logistics |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +#### Airport to hotel |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +There is no need to get a rental car or taxi/ride-share, as the airport and the UW campus area is well-served by bus and rail. |
| 117 | +We recommend using Link Light Rail to get from the airport to the hotel. It takes approximately an hour and costs $3.25. |
| 118 | +The closest station to the hotel is "U-District" (0.3mi away), which is a new station opened in 2021 and is not to be confused with the station in Downtown called, "University St", neither with "University of Washington". |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +#### Food |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +Please keep all slips, no alcoholic beverages covered, max 20 USD per dinner and 15 USD per breakfast. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +### Participants |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +Participants are recruited from the community of developers of packages |
| 127 | +such as NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, xarray, pandas, scikit-image, scikit-learn, |
| 128 | +NetworkX, and IPython, as well as domain stacks including Astropy, Pangeo, and |
| 129 | +scikit-HEP. |

| 140 | +## Goals |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +The Scientific Python Developer Summit provides an opportunity for core developers |
| 143 | +from the scientific Python ecosystem to come together to: |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### 1. Improve joint infrastructure |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +Collaborate to adopt and improve infrastructure, tools, and processes |
| 148 | +used across projects. This includes infrastructure already described |
| 149 | +in Scientific Python Ecosystem Coordination documents (SPECs), as well |
| 150 | +as, but not limited to, tools for documentation, testing, benchmarking, |
| 151 | +packaging, and Continuous Integration (CI). |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +### 2. Better coordination of the ecosystem |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +A central goal of the Scientific Python project and, by implication, the summit, is to better coordinate maintenance of the different projects. |
| 156 | +We want to write up a maintenance manual with community best practices, agree on a common release schedule, establish channels for regular cross-project communication, and decide on joint governance structures. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +### 3. Work on a shared strategic plan |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +The strategic plan will identify core needs and future challenges of the scientific Python community. |
| 161 | +Rather than focusing on the technical details of one particular project or domain area, the strategic plan would discuss the challenges shared across projects and domains. |
| 162 | +The plan will also be used by the community for support when applying for federal grants. |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +### Dates |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +Participants will be expected to participate in at least two planning meetings |
| 167 | +as well as the weekly long summit. |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +The summit is held June 3-7, 2024 in Seattle, WA. |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +Attendees should preferably arrive the day before the summit starts, and stay for the entire duration of the summit. |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +### Pre-Summit Planning |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +See [planning issues](https://github.com/scientific-python/summit-2024/issues). |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +Participants will be responsible for attending two or more one-hour video meetings (the planning meetings mentioned above) and for |
| 178 | +participating in a planning repository via PRs, issues—as both contributors and reviewers. |
| 179 | +There is no heavy top-down structure: participants themselves will organize the work that needs to be done ahead of time. |
| 180 | +They will deciding on topics, divide the work, and schedule the meeting. |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +### Summit Execution |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +The goal of the summit is to be a hands-on work meeting. |
| 185 | +That said, there will be some free time scheduled to brainstorm new ideas, and to discuss current community projects and activities. |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +### Post-Summit Implementation |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +After the meeting, attendees will collaborate on their assigned tasks until completion. |
| 190 | +The Scientific Python project also has funding to further develop some of these tasks, and will apply for additional funds to complete some of the rest. |
