Announcing MLJ + sktime tutorial and development sprint

[vollmersj]

We are interested in both Python or Julia users and machine-learning enthusiasts, and those with no prior experience, but who are keen to learn and try out our packages on your use case and give your honest feedback.

Travel to, and accommodation in London will be covered subject to successful application - see funding conditions and further important details (here)[https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/MLJ.jl/wiki/2019-MLJ---sktime-tutorial-and-development-sprint].

The aim of this gathering is to:

• Conduct first-line user testing (e.g. your use case) of our latest stable version (beginners)

• Creation of tutorials, improvement of documentation (intermediate)

• Interface, implement or integrate models from other packages (intermediate)

• Implement new features in a coding sprint (advanced users)

• Work together and socialize with other members of the Julia and pydata communities (everyone!)

The purpose of the issue is to discuss agenda and preparations.

What is the status of the sprint?

Applicants will receive an acceptance / rejection letter by May 30 (London time).

I haven't received anything yet but a copy of the filled out form.

I believe @ysimillides was dealing with this?
@ysimillides? @sjvollmer? @ablaom?

If I remember correctly, the "julia@turing" address had the problem that you could not send to it without registration (mistakenly locked to outside senders). Perhaps it has to do with that?

Notifications have been sent out (particularly those surrounding funding).
