Inviting additional case studies?

[rwest]

I stumbled across this thread on Twitter
https://twitter.com/jqfonseca/status/1071015453781299200?s=21
And wondered about inviting the author to add a small case study to the book? Good just be the Twitter thread unrolled into chapter seven, or we could invite him to expand on it. Do we have, need, or want a policy about inviting extra contributors/authors?

These types of case-study mentions are supposed to go into Chapter 7. At some point, the guidance for chapter 7 got deleted from the Google doc. I went into the history of the file to retrieve it. This was the plan:

1. Large-scale adoption:

• “The course of the future” in Berkeley and Data8.
• The Canadian federated JupyterHub, serving millions of users in dozens of institutions.

2. Course authors sharing full set of material, for example:

• Allen Downey’s books.
• Lorena’s courses (CFD Python, AeroPython, NumericalMOOC), others…

3. Short courses and tutorials at conferences:

• SciPy, PyData, Pycon tutorials, with examples.

4. Outreach Materials

• Kyle Mandli’s “Hurricane Investigation”

5. Book authoring
6. MOOCs

I invited @ketch, @rjleveque and @maojrs to contribute something on their book for which I believe they will issue a PR for soon.

In these case studies, we want to cover things like:

• the motivation of the authors/developers
• the context (course, topic, level, institution if applicable)
• any technology or tools used in conjunction with Jupyter (to publish, to grade, to distribute to students, to present live, etc.)
• the experiences; if used in a live course, or in a tutorial, how did it go
• lessons learned, gotchas, pro tips
