@pdebuyl @melissawm @drvinceknight could one of you edit this submission?

[pdebuyl]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman I just picked pysensors. If nobody takes this next week I can do it as well.

[arfon]

@Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman - let's give this one to @mjsottile who is available to edit again.

[arfon]

@whedon assign @mjsottile as editor

:wave: @mjsottile - can you take this one for us?

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @mjsottile

[mjsottile]

Sounds good. @Leo-Simpson : please let me know if you have any suggested reviewers for your submission. Otherwise I will start to identify a few people to ask.

[Leo-Simpson]

Thank you @mjsottile . I don't have specific suggestion for reviewers, but for example I saw that jbytecode have computational statistics and optimization on his domain area so I think it could fit.

[mjsottile]

:wave: Hello @jbytecode, @zhampel, @nhejazi : Would you be interested in providing a review for this submission to JOSS? I have identified you based on your areas of knowledge as listed in our potential reviewer spreadsheet. Please let me know if you are interested and available. Thank you!

[zhampel]

@mjsottile I will be out of office for the next two weeks and can not take on the review at the moment. Cheers

[jbytecode]

Dear editor @mjsottile , I gladly accept reviewing this paper, thank you.

[nhejazi]

Thanks, @mjsottile -- unfortunately, I am already committed to several other ongoing reviews and do not have the bandwidth to accept another at the moment.

[mjsottile]

@whedon add @jbytecode as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @jbytecode is now a reviewer

[mjsottile]

:wave: @oesteban, @tupi, @glemaitre : Would you be interested in providing a review for this submission to JOSS? I have identified you based on your areas of knowledge as listed in our potential reviewer spreadsheet. Please let me know if you are interested and available. Thank you!

[glemaitre]

@mjsottile I can help with the review.

[mjsottile]

@whedon add @glemaitre as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, @glemaitre is now a reviewer

[mjsottile]

Thanks @glemaitre and @jbytecode for agreeing to help - it looks like we're good to start the review. Please let me know if you have any questions over in the review thread.

[mjsottile]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/2844.
