OpenDreamKit legacy: article, book, ...

Extracted from the discussion at https://hackmd.io/19XqGFczRbePkUlF4J7VsA

### OpenDreamKit's collated work book

OpenDreamKit should leave a legacy that is citable.
We have the website but it will probably decay (though content stored on software heritage)
A book with a collection of articles that describe what the legacy of OpenDreamKit is.

#### Tentative list of papers:

- ODK's history, approach, and spirit (Nicolas et al. (et all?))
- Survey of advances on HPC by Clément
- RSE-themed article by Mike Croucher (count AlexK in)
- Advice on starting a big science software project, by Bill + Erik + Jeroen + Luca + William? + Henri Cohen?
- Dissemination position paper by Viviane, ...
- ODK VRE feature tour (or should be a part of the paper)
- Best practice for teaching with ODK technology (Marcin, Nicolas, Logilab, ...),
- Math-in-the-middle and WP6 work
- The making of the ODK-Use-cases JNotebook (this notebook has runnable versions of all ODK uses cases, with a self-containing exposition) (Dima)
- Science in the cloud: working without desktop software (Marcin), 3d - last limiting factor for using jupyter (Simula?)
- Simulagora (Logilab)
- Building an explorer for mathematical objects

* NB: Posting blog entries to figshare http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/posting-blog-entries-to-figshare.html
- as the blog says, "An easy way to copy blog posts to figshare and give them DOIs"

#### Organization

Leader and editor in chief: Michael
Editors / reviewers: Nicolas, ...

Suggestion for authors: start early by writing a blog post, collect feedback, and evolve the document

#### Where to publish

- European Math Society would be very fitting.
List of books published by EMS (outside of series): https://www.ems-ph.org/qsearch.php?browse_series=1&series=(no%20series)
* promising journal: EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences, http://www.ems-ph.org/journals/journal.php?jrn=emss
* EMS Series in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ESIAM) http://www.ems-ph.org/qsearch.php?browse_series=1&series=esiam
Kohlhase should ask editor Alexander Martin at FAU
- What about: JORS? https://openresearchsoftware.metajnl.com/
- Action: AlexK to ask whether we may have a special issue?
- And alternative for the latter is https://github.com/ReScience/ReScience. (Markus and Dima are on the editorial board).
- CICM (Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics): https://www.cicm-conference.org/
- [Paul from remote:] How about Journal of Open Source Software (Lorena Barba)

#### Related ideas

We need some overview publication in a highly placed math journal as well, independently.

A persistent collection of interactive papers would also be nice, maybe as a separate project,
with Jupyter notebooks that you can run.

Another way to leave a legacy is to offer our help to some group or conference.
AlexK: read constraint programming experience here: https://blogs.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/emcsr2014/files/2014/08/lars.pdf

Idea (AlexK): suggest to ReScience if they have papers that may be turned into reproducible Jupyter notebooks
[Clement from my train:] I can also investigate this option within the editorial board of ACM Trans on Math software (where I'm associate editor).
Ed in chief is investigating ways to develop reproducible research!
AlexK: I am on a board of JSAG (Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry - will also promote this idea there)
