Howdie 👋

I just came by to start fixing the qt4 bug in the latest release, but then found it had already been fixed back in June by #57

any chance we could get a release on pypi?

MattF-NSIDC commented

Don't like to bump threads, but I recently tried to use viscm after getting a new laptop. It used to be usable after installing with conda, but not anymore (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg', see #55). I'd be willing to help fix up the conda-forge feedstock, but the first step is getting this released onto PyPI.

@stefanv @njsmith could you help out with this?

I would absolutely be willing to become a maintainer of this project, but I need to work out whether I can be funded to do it during work time.

No go on getting time allocated at work for this, but I'm willing to contribute to maintenance on my personal time. This is @MattF-NSIDC 's personal account (I regret having two accounts right now 😆).

Would you be able to provide onboarding support as I get started? I don't see any documentation or automation for releasing, so I'd like to start with automating the release process with Actions or Travis if you prefer, but I haven't used Travis much :)

stefanv commented

I'd be happy to assist with that, @mfisher87. Thanks for your willingness to help out!

Great, thanks @stefanv ! Do you have a preferred communication method for onboarding and discussing PyPI auth? Happy to join a Slack instance or Zoom or whatever works for you. Timing-wise, best for me is the weekend or weekday evenings, but have some flexibility. I live in UTC-6 and typically work until 6PM.

Either the Scientific Python discord (see link at bottom of scientific-python.org), or via email should be fine.

I've been working on getting another open-source project packaged for release for the last couple of weekends, but should be free to start looking at this this weekend. I'll hopefully see you in Discord soon :)

Update: Packaging is updated to modern conventions, added some code quality checks to help prevent me from breaking stuff going forward, and I think all barriers to actually putting this on PyPI are now removed. I'll probably not have time to actually release before this weekend, but maybe will have some time to test and merge some PRs during the week.

Thanks very much for all your work @mfisher87!

Happy to! Thank you for cmocean, they're my favorite colormaps! We're using them in QGreenland, and I'll be running a workshop for researchers with a colleague starting tomorrow, and we have a slide where we recommend them ;)

Thank you :) So far, going great, and lots of fun. We had a module on FAIR & CARE principles today and asked our attendees to post some thoughts on GH Discussions and they shared so much interesting stuff! I'll be presenting our module on symbology tomorrow :)
