[arokem]

:hand: I can edit this one

@andim : do you have suggestions for reviewers? There is a list of potential reviewers here: https://github.com/openjournals/joss/blob/master/docs/reviewers.csv

But if there is someone else not on this list who would be an appropriate reviewer, please free to suggest them.

[arokem]

@whedon set @arokem as editor

[arfon]

@whedon assign @arokem as editor

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @arokem

[arfon]

@whedon set @arokem as editor

Sorry, there's a small inconsistency in language. assign for users, set for the DOI. I should fix that...

[arokem]

Thanks @arfon! 🙏

[andim]

Maybe @moorepants would be interested?

[andim]

Outside of the list @GaelVaroquaux might be a good choice. He wrote the excellent scipy-lecture notes on optimization (http://www.scipy-lectures.org/advanced/mathematical_optimization/index.html) so knows well what else exists within the Python ecosystem.

If you have other ideas @arokem feel free to assign someone else.

[arokem]

@moorepants : would you be interested in reviewing this software for JOSS?

[arokem]

OK - no response there. Let's try someone else.

@jordigh: would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS?

Thanks!

[moorepants]

I don't have time at the moment.

[GaelVaroquaux]

Outside of the list @GaelVaroquaux might be a good choice.

I am sorry, but I really cannot find the time. Too many things to do,
including too many reviews (just completed 13 reviews in 12 days:
evenings and week ends took a hit).

[arokem]

Hey @andim: any other ideas for potential reviewers, in case @jordigh can't do it?

[arokem]

No response there.

@nirum: would you like to review this for JOSS?

[nirum]

Sure I'd be happy to!

[andim]

Thanks @nirum, looking forward to your input ! Great to see this move forward. Is this moving automatically to a review thread @arokem or do I need to take any action right now?

[arfon]

@whedon assign @nirum as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @nirum

[arfon]

@whedon start review magic-word=bananas

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/258. Feel free to close this issue now!

[arfon]

@nirum @andim - please head over to #258 for the actual review issue.
