JuliaMath organization details

[ararslan]

It appears JuliaStats has a website, a Google group, an org description, an expanded name ("Julia Statistics"), and a logo (which will hopefully be unique soon). I think we should definitely do the latter three and perhaps the former two once we've grown more.

Here's what I'm thinking:
Description: Mathematics made easy in Julia
Expanded name: Julia Mathematics
Logo: Definitely @mschauer's proposal using Julia sets

(Admittedly that proposed description is stolen from JuliaStats). What say ye?

Stuff to do:

• Expanded organization name
• Organization description
• Logo
• Google Group
• Website
• Gitter

I made you an owner here, since you're encouragingly enthusiastic about it. Everything you propose sounds great, as does your list of packages in #1.

[ararslan]

@tkelman Thanks! 🎉

[ChrisRackauckas]

JuliaMath should definitely get a Gitter. The Gitter communities are pretty key to Julia.

[ararslan]

@ChrisRackauckas That's a good idea. I'll put that on the to-do list.

[ChrisRackauckas]

I'd be interested in helping JuliaMath get this together.

@ChrisRackauckas I've invited you to join the org. I don't know anything about gitter, but if you need more permissions let me know.

[ChrisRackauckas]

Someone with owner permissions needs to accept the OAuth I requested (it should email you?). I'll use that to set the org channel to public so it's not tied to a repo (I think owner permissions are needed for this since the org isn't showing up)

[ChrisRackauckas]

It looks like I'll need more permissions. Also, is anyone looking into putting together the site?

[ararslan]

I don't know that we'd have much to say on a site at the moment. Maybe once the primes deprecation makes its way into the Julia news.

[ChrisRackauckas]

I'll probably get one up and running a few weeks from now then. I think it should get put together so that future changes are easy: just update the text.

Gitter: https://gitter.im/JuliaMath/Roadmap.jl

[ChrisRackauckas]

I noticed on the Google Group it says "Here we discuss mathematical programming in Julia". Mathematical programming is definitely not what we cover: that would be in JuliaOpt.

[ararslan]

I've heard linear and nonlinear programming used to refer to optimization but not mathematical programming. I'd be happy to change it if you have a better suggestion though.

[ChrisRackauckas]

It's pretty common, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

Maybe something like "Here we discuss using Julia to solve mathematical problems"?

[tkelman]

e.g. http://www.ismp2015.org/ (we had a whole Julia session there last year, was a little JuliaOpt party)

[ararslan]

@ChrisRackauckas Nice, changed to that.
