# HoloViz meetings
## https://hackmd.io/@holoviz/minutes/edit

HoloViz meetings are usually either General (planning and status discussions) or Triaging (dealing with open issues on HoloViz repos.) See https://hackmd.io/@holoviz/BygVgIC6L for the triaging checklist, and https://status.holoviz.org for the list of projects to triage.

# 2023-01-20 HoloViz Steering Committee meeting
Agenda:
- Welcome, Intros
- Governance, trademark, SC scope and responsibilities

Triaging:
- Param: Jim, Philipp, and Demetris
- GeoViews + HoloViews: Jean-Luc, Simon, Ian
- examples.pyviz: Maxime, Sophia

# 2023-01-06 HoloViz meeting

Present: Demetris, Jim, Sophia, Maxime, Simon, Jean-Luc Stevens, Ian, Philipp, Mateusz

Agenda:
- Numpy 1.24
- Ragged array warning became a ValueError
- Need fixed releases for GeoViews, HoloViews, SpatialPandas, and (maybe) Datashader ASAP before Numba is released with Numpy 1.24 support
- GeoViews release
- Numpy and Shapely updates plus annotations
- Simon to prepare release
- HoloViews docs
- Need to document AdjointLayouts more prominently
- ``<<`` API should be presented as useful only for single items
- Other keyword-based API should be added for specifying location of the marginal plot
- Docs should mention the word "marginal"
- ACTION for Jean-Luc
- Examples.holoviz.org
- Maxime is trying to streamline how environments are handled so that they can be more maintainable
- Now supports having executed notebooks in git that aren't reexecuted because of a declaration in the .yml
- labels: maintainers, labels, orphans, created all moved to a sub-section
- Main site build moving towards the standard holoviz theme and layout
- main vs master
- adding authors, dates

# 2023-01-04 HoloViz docs meeting

Present: Demetris, Jim, Sophia, Maxime, Simon, Jean-Luc Stevens, Ian, Philipp

- Demetris
- Links to meetings are now public on HoloViz.org. During a google meeting, the meeting organizer will receive a request to admit any new attendees who are not already on the event's guest list.
- Steering committee slack channel has been created. Target date for inaugural SC meeting is Jan 20 during the normal HoloViz slot. We are waiting on Rich to join the channel and confirm his availability. Dharhas has already confirmed. Initial cadence target is quarterly.
- An example of how to adopt the default project governance docs is now a Param pull request (https://github.com/holoviz/param/pull/674). Maintainers of Param will need to review/approve, but anyone can chime in since this will inform how other projects do it. One question being discussed is whether to use a tagged-commit-link to the holoviz repo.
- Demetris will start working on HoloViz.org getting started experience, as described here: https://github.com/holoviz/holoviz/issues/351
- Philipp
- Migrating Panel User Guides into How To's here: https://github.com/holoviz/panel/pull/4251
- Some of the How-To pages still contain a lot of explanation
- Discussion about How-To titles needing to coherently complete the phrase "how to ..."
- There is still decisions to be made about the reference sections
- Jim
- What do we do with examples.pyviz and how will that interact with the bioscience oriented material that will be created soon.
- Group leaning towards maintaining examples.pyviz (as examples.holoviz) and use tags and sections for different domain materials. We could still create additional explaner pages or even another site to provide context/report for particular funding initiative, but this is not urgent.

# 2022-12-07 HoloViz docs meeting
Present: Demetris, Jim, Philipp, Maxime, Sophia, Jean-Luc, Ian, Simon
- code of conduct PR has been merged with unanimous approval
- Demetris gave a governance summary
- Lead Maintainer vs Project Lead naming is hard to distinguish
- ++Demetris will consider a more distinguishing name for one of them. DONE
- People should review the HoloViz Duties spreadsheet as it will impact the initial project governance for each project
- Maintainers will have voting power, contributors may be granted merge rights but cannot vote
- Ian: perhaps we should adopt an objective threshold (like 2 PRs as is for Bokeh) for someone to be a maintainer
- Jim: any such threshold would need to be adapted to the velocity of a given project, as some change much less frequently than others
- Ian, Demetris: Also a bokeh maintainer does not have voting or merge rights, so it's not equivalent to the proposed HoloViz Maintainer position.
- Let's keep it informal without an objective threshold for now (no objections)
- Philipp: the currently proposed thresholds for overriding Project Lead (3/4) and removing Project Lead (4/5) can be gamed, i.e. with 3 out of 4 votes, maintainers could add a member that they conspire with to then remove the Project Lead with 4/5 votes.
- Demetris: This applies right now to HoloViz.org Project, and can be changed for other Projects (Panel, Lumen). Jim and myself don't have a problem with these current thresholds
- Jim: I don't think we have to be too worried about this one... that's an extreme situation...anything you set up can be gamed... although if Philipp thinks that we should change this, as it is default project gov, then he should come with a proposal
- ++Philipp may propose something. DR DONE and approved by Philipp
- Proposal includes requirement to record evidence of consensus
- Jim initiated discussion about what determines whether something needs to escalate to a vote or to have consensus. What defines something as a governance topic?
- Daily process/decisions may carry on without formal record, but if any member/maintainer says that an issue needs to seek consensus, then that would be the trigger the entering of consensus forming processing. If there are strong objections/blockers in this process, it would move to a vote.
- Ian suggested that numpy has some prior art about consensus process. ++Demetris will review. DONE
- Philipp and Jim suggest there isn't such a need for a recorded consensus process.
- Daily process decisions will be made by consensus according to the usual mechanisms involving commenting on PRs, discussions, meetings, etc. And then there is a single escalation to a vote when called for.
- Ian: in terms of documenting consensus for daily process, consensus is assumed unless there is evidence to the contrary. (or unless a maintainer calls for a vote even without evidence)..
- ++Demetris will update decision making. DONE
- ++Demetris will change vote minimum period from 3 days to 3 working days. DONE
- Demetris presented example/template of github vote issue
- Jim requests GitHub teams for each Project, e.g. @holoviz/param-maintainers
- Demetris reviewed some recent changes
- Removed Steering committee chair position
- Simplified Project roles
- removed distinguished contributor, emeritus, release manager
- discussion ensued about merits of keeping emeritus. Resolved to keep it removed since github maintains better record of contribution.
- renamed project owner to project lead
- Public record of voting
- contributors can be granted merge rights
- ++Demetris will clarify language that a maintainer is 'expected' to review releases, etc. Compared to a contributor with merge rights that has no such expectation. DONE
- added example method of voting
- steering committee must have access to all holoviz org/project accounts (++Demetris clarify language in gov to include project accounts. DONE)
- External members for Steering committee
- consensus around asking Dharhas Pothina (has since accepted) and Rich Signell (has been requested)

# 2022-11-23 HoloViz docs meeting
Present: Maxime, Jean-Luc, Simon, Ian
- Marc and Maxime improved hvPlot docstrings
- Maxime wants to set up a place to experiment with docs, perhaps using the nbsite dev website
- Maxime found that our holoviz projects are using different versions of nbsite (via the pyviz dev channel) and python. He suggests pinning nbsite on the projects so that we can feel free to update nbsite.
- A concern is managing pinned nbsite across projects, but Maxime has a script to update multiple repos at the same time.
- Jean-Luc suggested to use a different label (not 'dev') on nbsite for this experimenting
- Jean-Luc and Simon suggested that maybe the release docs should be tested against the release packages and not the dev versions (as they currently are) because users likely won't have the dev versions of packages.
- Ask Jim and Philipp about either using a different label other than 'dev' for nbsite experimenting, or pinning nbsite on the other projects
- Jean-Luc suggested to make doc build exceptions be raised as errors and then fix them, starting with smaller projects. Or rather that there docs should continue building through exceptions but provide a non-zero exit code at the end so we can review all the exceptions without stopping at every error.
- Maxime wants to compare the performance of building the notebooks with MyST vs our nbsite/nbconvert. We may be able to run the notebooks in parallel.
- Jean-Luc suggests investigating Jupyter caching to speed up builds
- Jean-Luc reviewed governance PR and it seems ok, he would like to be on steering committee
- Ian spoke about anti-aliasing docs and worked on a couple docstring changes in datashader
- Ian: There's a few ways to specify lines in datashader and the docs are missing a concise explanation (JLS: similar problem with HoloViews and constructors). ~ how you make the decision on what to do, given the available API ~
- Another example: there are X different reductions in datashader, so we need one page with simple data showing the results for the different reductions. It's not really API docs. It's more of a visual representation of what the algorithms do. People should find it when searching 'max reduction' or something similar. Likely an 'explanation' page or an enhanced 'reference'
- Maxime likes plotly reference pages, lots of visual examples and recipes
- Maxime suggested a question mark icon on docs pages to link to something explaning where to find help across projects.. something like an updated HoloViz community page

# 2022-11-24 Bokeh/HoloViz integration meeting

Present: Ian, Maxime, Mateusz, Simon

- Simon:
- Update and discussion on Bokeh 3.0 support in Panel
- Still targetting 3.0 support in January
- Maxime:
- Planning to discuss with Mateusz existing panel UI tests and how to modify them to use BokehJS query API
- Mateusz:
- Bokeh 3.0 various regressions reported, mostly as expected
- Demo of persistent select annotations
- Question of how to combine and how to clear selections, interactions between selections
- Recommend early release of part-functionality so it can be used and tested by multiple people
- Discussion of 'experimental' label
- Ian
- Plan to apply for NumFOCUS Small Development Grant for joint Bokeh/TARDIS new functionality

# 2022-11-21 HoloViz triaging

Releases:
- hvPlot: needed this week

Triaging:
- Datashader: Jim and Ian
- hvPlot: Maxime and Jean-Luc
- Governance: Demetris and Sophia

# 2022-11-17 Bokeh/HoloViz integration meeting

Present: Ian, Simon, Maxime, Jim, Philipp, Mateusz

- Ian:
- Discuss categorical colormapper
- Simon:
- Working on indicator upgrade
- Pulling out CSS variables
- HoloViews compatibility PR
- Maxime:
- Started user-facing migration guide
- Jim:
- Question: New meeting for Bokeh CZI or use this one?
- Mateusz:
- Fixing layout regressions:
- Gridplot collapse issues (computed layout propagation problems)
- Width/height as fixed size, in Bokeh historically it has been a suggestion unless sizing_mode='fixed' (at Panel level we enforce fixed sizing if width/height explicitly set)
- Persistent selections (box, poly and span) now editable/resizable
- Support for multiple selections could fall out of this
- Brainstorm UI/UX for combining selections across tools
- Vectorized annotation glyphs such as Spans/Bands:
- Working on spatial indexing
- Philipp:
- Created `branch-1.0` in Panel where all progress towards Bokeh 3.0 compat should land
- Bug fixes still applied to master
- If we decide to release new enhancements/features before 1.0 could still have 0.15
- Opened PR for tooltip support on widgets
- Sliders and maybe others do not currently have description property
- Input widgets had obvious solution for placing tooltip
- Not all widgets have labels
- Same issue with placement as the description tooltip button
- Decision: Do we patch over it at the Panel level?
- At bokeh level will probably provide Form layouts that take control of control, label, description component

Actions:
- [Philipp] Investigate interaction of sizing_mode/width/height and intrinsic width/height (and then decide on desirability of current behavior)
- [Maxime] Release hvPlot 0.8.2 with HoloViews pin to avoid Bokeh 3.0 to be pulled in

# 2022-11-09 HoloViz docs meeting
Present: Demetris, Simon, Ian
- [Governance PR](https://github.com/holoviz/holoviz/pull/335):
- Org docs define roles for steering, code of conduct committees
- Project docs define roles for maintainers, owner, lead, release manager, contributor
- Once PR is generally approved, project docs can be used as template, copied, adapted to individual core packages
- List of maintainers will be specified for each project
- [code of conduct PR](https://github.com/holoviz/holoviz/pull/332) almost at full approval > *Demetris will follow up with Philipp
- Ian: bokeh uses the more general phrase "bokeh developers" for attribution in releases, compared to the named contributors approach that we (and other projects like fsspec) use.
- *Demetris will add short summary of other numfocus sponsored project gov types to PR, including attribution strategy
- Let's try to have the gov docs reviewed in the next 2 weeks
- Analytics
- Demetris will follow up with Philipp about server hosting
- Docs tasks project board
- Two versions right now, [google doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yeni-TLbE2_5GJ-YGlOyArHpA8N6DQ6CrZHpIfKoYbk/edit#) and [github project](https://github.com/orgs/holoviz/projects/6/views/1)
- Simon and Ian prefer having it on GitHub. All agreed.
- User Survey
- It's been ~1 month, Demetris will close it down
- PyData Sprint
- Since last meeting where we discussed possibly focusing on docstrings/reference, Jim has suggested another possible sprint topic: Make a PR for https://pythonplot.com/ or https://aeturrell.github.io/coding-for-economists/vis-common-plots.html or similar sites with hvPlot examples.
- This probably provides a more interesting sprint experience for certain newcomers, but docstrings/reference would be very useful for us.
- Ian: Good to have a couple options for tasks for newcomers at sprint.
- *Ian and Demetris to chat in the next couple weeks about preparing for the sprint. We shouldn't do too much, maybe just a short intro, present the task options - docstrings, hvplot examples, and any issues (panel, hvplot) that are good first issues. Then just be available to help.

# 2022-10-31 HoloViz triaging meeting

- Lumen
- Release postponed due to Philipp travel

- Panel
- 0.14.1 released 10/28; needs announcing

- hvPlot
- Will need a patch release ASAP after holoviews 1.15.2

- Datashader
- Ian working on GPU antialiased lines. Seems possible to release including multi-level aggregations by end of next week; we'll see. If not, still possible to omit that support and release.

- CI
- Playwright tests will need some thought when moving to Bokeh 3.0 due to its use of Shadow DOM, which makes it hard to use CSS selectors; instead will need to query BokehJS via Playwright's execute_script API (follow up with Mateusz)

- Bokeh
- 3.0 scheduled on Monday
- Mateusz and Simon working on making HoloViz tools support 3.0; could use help - Jean-Luc can
- Upcoming post 3.0 new features
- Vectorized "annotations" (in the hv sense, not necessarily Bokeh sense) (can actually start in bokeh 2.4, making spans and bands glyphs). Mateusz to look into it and get back to Ian.
- Persistent box select
- Pop-up editor boxes for annotations
- Categorical colormapping (datashader colorize, but in Bokeh)

# 2022-10-26 HoloViz Docs meeting
- survey results comments:
- improved ref API docs most requested on survey to help new users, also a trend as the underlying issue on discourse and github issues -> could be pydata sprint focus
- Jim suggestion: add HTML version of output of hv.help into reference gallery for given component and improve hv.help output format, content
- Jim, Philipp: Don't deprioritize homepage redo. Important for the newest visitors and potential users, who would not be well represented in the survey results.
- Ian, Philipp, and Jim support docstrings focus for pydata sprint
- Demetris will make action points doc
- Jim: Another sprint idea is take solved issues from discourse or Stack Overflow with information that should become docs and have attendees convert them into doc PRs
- Demetris to create HoloViz Docs project board for issues and add from survey write-ins, results

- Demetris
- [code of conduct PR](https://github.com/holoviz/holoviz/pull/332).
- working on HoloViz governance docs. will push draft within 1-2 weeks
- survey results

- website analytics
- GA > plausible?
- philipp will reach out about plausible serving
- Philipp
- Ref for HoloViews, Panel include a lot of manual input
- Lumen ref is automatically created from docstrings (fixed style), param definitions, and examples (sourced from notebooks, docs)
- Could also add WASM examples, parameter control dashboards
- For HoloViews, Panel, we don't have to remove the existing docs, just render it as an example under the auto gen

# 2022-10-24 HoloViz triaging meeting

- Lumen
- Philipp to release

- Panel
- 0.14.1 release waiting on CI issues

- HoloViews
- 1.15.2 needs releasing soon, after JupyterLite and other fixes

- Would make the most sense as an extension. We don't currently have quite the right support for new custom Elements

- Discussion topics:
- Long-term deployment: Can we have a lightweight mechanism for publishing especially WASM apps (which should be not that big a deal)
- Panel extension mechanism?

- Often not needed: instead can use plot options (set as Parameters on the underlying class), style options (set using hv.opts.defaults), or Bokeh theme options and CSS (not possible to do in a way that will work with both bokeh2 and bokeh3)
- Can hvPlot allow CSS customization somehow, providing it to Panel to be injected in the right place?
- Please open an issue outlining the use cases involved, and we can give feedback on the right approach for each one
- Demetris:
- Doing a survey of the state of HoloViz docs and formulating a plan for improvements

Triaging:
- Philipp and Marc to triage Panel and plan the release
- Jean-Luc and Simon to triage HoloViews
- Maxime triaged hvPlot today; will look at CI issues

# 2022-05-23 HoloViz meeting

## PyScript and Panel: Would like an updated Panel website with live, PyScript-based examples.

Blockers:
- Data access: Can access Python literals, public datasets, and files shipped along with the .py
- Page size: Currently requires 60MB. Need to remove the Bokeh compiler from Panel and Bokeh, which would save maybe 30MB of that. It's cached, but invalidated often.

- Working on Lumen and Panel, then soon Param
- Need to finalize snag list for Panel 0.13
- Mridul

- The example on node embeddings isn't turning out to be pretty so for 2d projection of real world networks.

Agenda:
- Need some demo page of what works for mpl
- Worst case: just put a notebook on anaconda.org (or as a page in the user guide) and point to it from the release notes and the homepage. Also need a user guide page about things that are specific to mpl or plotly, including limitations.
- Better: Duplicate reference gallery during build time and replace backend
- Best?: Have multiple versions of the entire website, including especially the user guide, per backend
- How will an hvPlot user select the mpl backend?
- import hvplot.pandas.matplotlib (or mpl), import hvplot.pandas.bokeh, import hvplot.pandas defaults to bokeh (which requires switching bokeh -> mpl in the import)?
- Or, import hvplot.pandas, hvplot.matplotlib?
- Expose hv.extension as hvplot.extension, to be able to explain to people how to select a backend without side-effecty imports

## VegaFusion

Jon Mease presented his new VegaFusion library, which is a bit Datashader-like for the Vega+Vega-Lite+Altair ecosystem. Our overall takeaway was that it clearly provides important features for the Vega community, but that beyond being one supported plotting type for Panel there wasn't much overlap with the HoloViz ecosystem.

- Deployments need restarting to pick up the new certs
- Need to see if the lambda can be improved to check the SSL to catch this in future
- Need to streamline nbsite's thumbnail handling to simplify envt requirements

- Philipp:
- Working on Panel, particularly reviewing PRs

# 2021-11-12 HoloViz meeting

- Jim:
- Working on releasing colorcet; struggling with CI
- Maxime:
- Working on Matplotlib and Plotly backends for hvPlot; finding various issues on HoloViews
- Philipp:
- Headaches from upgrading Tabulator 4->5 in Panel
- Starting to focus on Lumen again
- Starting to prepare Panel 0.12.5 release
- Marc:
- Working on possible extensions to the Pandas and Scikit-image docs
- Jean-Luc:
- Working on automating deployment from examples.pyviz.org to pyviz.demo.anaconda.com

### Fixing examples doc building
- Doc building on examples.pyviz.org is painful.
- Can we simplify it by requiring manual thumbnail creation?
- It's a problem for examples.pyviz because of needing independent environments per project.
- Should generate thumbnails for existing projects, then disable that support.
- Needs a new config option to avoid evaluating notebooks, so that we can separate notebook running envts from doc building envts

# 2021-11-01 Triaging meeting

- Jim:
- HoloViews clearly needs triaging
- examples.pyviz.org status?

# 2021-10-25 Triaging meeting

- Jim:
- Param released; will announce when ready on conda defaults
- Need to remind PyData Global participants
- Jean-Luc:
- Will demo deployment manager on Friday
- Cleaning up deployments
- Maxime:
- Working on pyviz.org
- Trying to fix Datashader CI, which requires fixing nbsmoke and releasing it
- Debugging GeoViews dependence on the name "geometry"
- Marc:
- Building a library of Panel components: https://github.com/marcskovmadsen/panel-components ; see https://www.youtube.com/embed/ufrDZnZ3Jwc
- Should think about how to handle user contributed components, a la https://www.webcomponents.org , and how much curation is desired or required

## Python dependency management
- Maxime: Should Panel (and hvPlot?) have a guide for users to pin their dependencies so that they avoid breakage on upgrades, particularly for deployments? Just putting some advice there seems like it could be useful. Maybe put best practices on holoviz.org and link to it from other projects?
- Rate of development on HoloViews, given that it is now mainly a basis for hvPlot and used in Panel examples, but with fewer new features:
- Focus on it specifically in triaging meetings, so that we address bugs reported faster?
- Same issue definitely applies to GeoViews, and somewhat to hvPlot (but for different reasons, mainly that neither has much code)
- Looked at issue open/close/remaining data:
- https://9-volt.github.io/bug-life/?repo=holoviz/param
- https://9-volt.github.io/bug-life/?repo=holoviz/holoviews

# 2021-09-17 HoloViz meeting

- Jim finished Dynamic Param guide; one more to go.
- Released Panel 0.12.2, tied to Bokeh 2.4
- .show() gives an error even though the tests pass; probably need 0.12.3 soon.
- Released HoloViews 1.14.6 on conda with Bokeh 2.4 compatibility fix, then manually on pip
- Still struggling with hv docs build
- Some hv tests are transient/flaky
- Need to check in with Mateusz to see how they handle those in Bokeh
- hv mac develop install on Mac is failing in doit. Workaround is in place, but need to address the real problem.

## Postmortem on Bokeh 2.4 release
- Panel:
- Philipp's plan was to have an immediate 0.12.2 release
- Release branch was _almost_ ready, but there were problems remaining on that branch (e.g. https://github.com/holoviz/panel/issues/2726, which appears to be a hole in the test suite)
- Next time, need a Panel rc tagged once Bokeh has an rc, but _before_ Bokeh's release, to reveal such problems.
- Once we have such an rc, should tell Bokeh team that we've done it.
- HoloViews:
- Philipp had cherrypicked a couple of fixes he knew were needed for 2.4 into an hv hotfix release branch
- Philipp's plan was to release from that branch when Bokeh was released
- hv test suite was broken, covering up issues with Bokeh 2.4 compatibility
- Also wasn't testing with 2.4 anyway
- We need to keep better tabs on CI. Change Monday triaging meetings to address CI before doing any triaging?
- Also need to evaluate our CI approach wrt master or dev versions of packages -- how can we test both current releases and (_separately_) bleeding edge?
- Once we have CI healthier, next time should make a proper RC after the Bokeh rc, not just having a partially tested hotfix branch.
- Bokeh:
- There was only 24h between the first rc and the full release. That doesn't give us much time to evaluate anything.
- Need to discuss with Bokeh team.

# 2021-09-06 HoloViz meeting

- Discussed Philipp's/Maxime's recent work on hvplot.
* Discussed having a way to toggle between bokeh/matplotlib in the docs, both per plot and globally.
* Discussed automatically enumerating all options per backend in the docs.
* Discussed writing a matplotlib example that outputs a GIF/publication quality plot.
- Philipp suggested cutting another HoloViews minor release to re-enable Bokeh's WebGL support now that it is working well again.
- Decided that old panel versions should be yanked off PyPI due to the problem of specifying working Bokeh pins.
- Marc showed how he used Panel + Reactive HTML to make an interactive SVG schematic. Offered to work on a gallery example.

# 2021-07-26 Triaging meeting

- Changelog maintenance
- For holoviews/panel/hvplot, currently triply duplicated between toplevel CHANGELOG.md, doc/releases.md, and Github releases page.
- Typical current workflow (if after a release):
1. git log v0.7.2..v0.7.3 (presumably replacing v0.7.3 with "master" or a release branch name, if unreleased?)
2. edit CHANGELOG.md to summarize changes
3. copy release notes to doc/releases.md, changing heading levels
4. copy release notes to github releases
- Proposed policy:
- Some HoloViz packages will continue to have not changelogs
- For those that do have them, will continue with the current triply duplicated approach, owned by Philipp and Jean-Luc
- Try to get rid of any remaining .rst
- Replace doc/releases.md with symlink to top-level CHANGELOG.md? (Jean-Luc)
- How can we maintain instructions for using Dask and GPU dataframes and arrays with our code? We have examples scattered, but doing it properly requires bifurcating all our stuff but with tiny changes in certain difficult-to-predict locations.
- No good suggestions yet.

# 2021-07-23 HoloViz meeting

The Holoviz tutorial at SciPy'21 (and later at ESIP'21) went smoothly. Seems like focusing on hvPlot .plot and .interactive is working well! Lots of small improvements needed, but the basic idea seems sound, easily communicated, and not crazy to support. Definitely need something like dim() or other transforms at some point.

From here, the priority items are:

1. Update holoviz.org (Jean-Luc):
- Use released versions now that hvPlot 0.7.3 has been released
- Fix the interactivity warning
- Rebuild website
2. SpatialPandas quick fixes (Philipp)
3. Finish Param manual (Jim)
4. Param 2.0 release (Jean-Luc and Jim)
5. SpatialPandas sustainability: Pandas issues, overlap with GeoPandas/Awkward (Maxime)

# 2021-07-19 Triaging meeting

- Philipp walked Pam, Blythe and Jean-Luc through the process of converting CI from travis to GitHub actions for holoviz.org.

# 2021-06-11 HoloViz meeting

## Agenda

- Triggering Events in HoloViews Overlays
- Scope of Panel itself vs. user-contributed packages:
- Should we have a contrib folder? Associated repo? Extensions repo? Ideally would be something discoverable, but not required to be maintained by the HoloViz team directly.
- Maybe put into github.com/panelorg (already owned by Philipp)? We'd need to give permissions for external contributors to have a repo there, but that seems ok.

## Updates
- Jean-Luc
- Working on tutorial packaging tasks
- Blythe
- Coming up to speed on HoloViz tools
- Marc
- FastTemplate improvements.
- Contributor added persisting layout (per browser) to the React template; Marc copied that support into FastTemplate
- Showcasing branding/style changes. Exports template instantiation example, with the user-selected settings
- Bokeh regression: sizing_mode='both' seems to have issues in the latest release; need to pin them down. Mateusz is looking at it.
- For Panel-Chemistry, currently wrapping an object already available as an ipywidget. Should we continue to make a Panel widget in such cases? Maybe we can improve the ipywidget support in general and avoid having to make separate versions.
- [Matplotlib interactivity in Panel](https://github.com/holoviz/panel/issues/2349) (then HoloViews and hvPlot later)
- Jim
- Released Datashader 0.13.0
- Need to write Datashader blog post cover 0.12.1 and 0.13.0

- [x] Composing Plots (and link_selections?)
- Exercise?
- [x] New material: .interactive (not interact()), to add one or more widgets
- New Exercise
- [x] Quickly turn what you have so far into a .servable() dashboard
- [x] New: Overview of Panel (general (not tied to a plotting library), plus components, pn.bind, layouts, .show(), serve, etc., motivated each time by what they let the user do
- [x] New Panel content outlining easy path to a fancy templated app (link_selections, inspect_points (maybe), some form of drilldown)
- [x] Final app should illustrate some most-useful, most-approachable subset of the available mechanisms
- [x] Other content can go into a separate set of tutorials (listed on the same index page, but in a separate section)

- Mateusz: Support hover tooltip on Bokeh widgets (or some larger class if appropriate)
- Outstanding issues requiring releases

## Updates

- Marc:
- New themes are great; look good and work well

# 2021-04-12 HoloViz meeting (ad hoc)

## Agenda

- Website infrastructure
- MyST: Extend Sphinx to allow .md where we have been using .rst
- MySTNB: Extend Sphinx to parse notebooks as .md instead of .rst with embedded HTML blobs, preserving more of the .md structure (headers, etc.) as well as supporting MyST directives
- jupyter-sphinx: Called by MySTNB to run notebooks and populate the output cells (but we use nbconvert for that). Maybe also still used my MySTNB to parse the executed output?
- jupyter{book}: Sphinx theme (which we are not using) + registers various extensions (MySTNB, etc.) + an HTML to PDF converter (probably not relevant for our needs, overall)
- pydata-sphinx-theme: From Pandas originally, used by Bokeh (now no longer a fork), tentatively used in Panel dev, Param
- nbsite:
- patching links between notebooks (no longer needed when using MySTNB) and adding anchors for class names
- populates doc/ with .rst stubs that embed notebook content from examples/
- auto-generates the API docs/ reference manual (how is that done for bokeh,pandas?)
- provides a Sphinx directive that can be used in a .rst file (or now .md) to embed a notebook with special HoloViz options:
- slicing off the first heading or other code using an offset
- allows the interactivity warning to be disabled
- gallery (similar to what's available in sphinx-gallery; not clear whether we can adapt to use that instead)
- Generates index.html redirect pages to provide short links for example pages.
- Support for examples.pyviz.org (.zip links, etc.)
- binder support?
- Copying assets from examples to doc/
- sphinx-paramdoc (support for API docs for Parameterized; could move to Param?)
- datashader website (mpl output still broken)

# 2021-03-19 HoloViz meeting

## Agenda

- CZI Grant
- Python 3.9: Could add GH Action target for colorcet; others waiting on ecosystem (e.g. Numba). Should open some PRs with 3.9 tests enabled, and see when it's ready to use.

- hvPlot 0.7.1
- Jim to ping Jon about HoloData progress

## Updates

- Jim:
- Working on contracts and interviewing
- Fixing Datashader for raster input
- Stuck on Datashader and Param docs builds
- Philipp:
- Gearing up to release Lumen; webinar https://know.anaconda.com/FlexibleMonitoringApp-LP.html
- ReactiveHTML PR for Panel
- Kim:
- Colorcet CI on GitHub Actions - in progress, slowly
- pytest mpl plugin is tricky to handle
- missing package (only included in `test_extras` because its pip only) - https://github.com/matplotlib/pytest-mpl
- Throws the warning: `/home/travis/build/holoviz/colorcet/colorcet/tests/test_matplotlib.py:37: PytestUnknownMarkWarning: Unknown pytest.mark.mpl_image_compare` for colorcet pytests
- the `test_extras` are included for the conda build + test, but the "regular" tests throw the above warning.
- How the packages listed in `test` and `test_extras` are installed in different ways once deep inside doit... very confusing.
- Outcome: for colorcet at least, explicitly install pytest-mpl on CI before running the tests
- Pam:
- Worked on scatter_matrix datashading; will ping for review
- Made edits to lazy data doc and should finish those up today; will ping when done
- Jean-Luc:
- Worked on releases
- Working on inspect vs. link_selections

# 2021-01-23 HoloViz meeting

## Agenda

- Discussion: what sort of thing should go in Panel?
- e.g. [Geogebra](https://discourse.holoviz.org/t/geogebra-in-a-panel-pane-anybody-want-to-play-there-is-a-javascript-api/1684) or [JSME Editor](https://jsme-editor.github.io/dist/JSME_test.html)?
- Set out principles in dev docs: compositional etc.
- How to split the docs?
- Bokeh docs: Creating custom models
- Panel docs: Wrapping Bokeh models with param
- Create cookiecutter for creating Panel/Bokeh extension
- Fast templates
- ReactiveHTML
- Need to think about security issues; need docs for guiding users to avoid connecting text input widgets to components that execute code

## Updates
- Jim/Jean-Luc/Philipp:
- Have been working on a new ship_tracking example for examples.pyviz.org; see https://github.com/pyviz-topics/examples/pull/130

- Pam:
- Pushed lazy data notebook

- Marc:
- Pushed FastTemplate

# 2021-01-18 Triaging meeting

Instead of triaging today, we brainstormed about big issues holding back HoloViz uptake:
- ipywidgets: no one knows about our support, so our tools aren't considered part of Jupyter
- hvPlot interactive: massive power, needs some tweaks for Pandas, no one knows about it
- Lumen: vast reach, huge new potential userbase, usable but not ready yet
- hvPlot not supporting Matplotlib/plotly holds back uptake for .plot users.
- Param user guide is missing; people needing to do anything with Param hit a dead end
- Debugging complex Panel apps: Easy to get started with an app, but can be a huge time sink to figure out how to get _everything_ working
- Docs: Reference Gallery is great, but other docs are hard to find what I need. User experience of our docs is overwhelming; there's lots of stuff, hard to get a specific question answered. For older tools StackOverflow has that format, but it takes years to build up this Q/A database.
- people not knowing about holoviz (or a particular tool that solves their problem) at all
- gap between hvplot and rest of HoloViz tools -hard for holoviews users to work with hvplot users
- overwhelming websites/docs - many styles of example with different approaches, mostly historical and no longer recommended, making the experience of a new user bewildering. E.g. really people should be using pn.bind in most cases, but there are tons of other ways to tie Panel widgets to Python code...

# 2021-01-08 HoloViz meeting

## Agenda

    def callback(a, b, x, y):
        return hv.Curve()

    hv.DynamicMap(pn.bind(callback, a=widgeta, b=widgetb, x=tap.param.x, y=tap.param.y))

# 2021-01-01 Triaging meeting

- Should we add a community survey?
- Priorities for Panel:
- Easier transition for new contributors
