6. What's in a name?
   ●
   Inspired by the open languages of science:
   –
   Julia, Python & R
   – not an acronym: all languages equal class citizens.
   ●
   Astronomy and Scientific Python:
   –
   A long and fruitful collaboration
   ●
   Galileo's notebooks:
   –
   the original, open science, data-and-narrative papers
   –
   Authorea: “Science was Always meant to be Open”

10. What next?
    ●
    New language agnostic repos go to Jupyter.
    ●
    Split main IPython repo into components.
    ●
    Build a community across languages
    – Protocols: computation across networks.
    – Architecture: clients/servers for interactive computing.
    – Open formats: for communication and publication.
    –
    Tools for collaboration and education
    ●
    Colaboratory (next talk), Multiuser Notebook.
