[Bessig] ipython notebook

[Anne Wilson]

Good news!  We have a volunteer to present iPython Notebook to us in 
June, Monte Lunacek from CU Research Computing (cc'ed here).  He says 
they have been using, teaching, and trying to promote the iPython 
Notebook to python users in research computing.  He has used it on their 
supercomputer, and says, "wow, parallel computing on a cluster from a 
web browser".

But, neither of us knows anyone using it for Earth or space science. 
Does anyone out there know someone that is?  That could be a nice 
complement to the presentation.

When I get a title and abstract from Monte I'll post the info on the 
BESSIG web site.  Stay tuned.

Anne
