+
+The PyHEP working group brings together a community of developers and users of Python in Particle Physics, with the aim of improving
+the sharing of knowledge and expertise. It embraces the broad community, from HEP to the Astroparticle and Intensity Frontier communities.
+
+The group is currently coordinated by Chris Tunnell (Rice U.), Eduardo Rodrigues (U. Cincinnati) and Graeme Stewart (CERN).
+All coordinators can be reached via <[email protected]>.
+
+# Getting Involved
+
+Everyone is welcome to join the community and participate by means of the following:
+
+* [Gitter channel PyHEP](https://gitter.im/HSF/PyHEP){:target="_pyhep_gitter_channel} for any informal exchanges.
+* [GitHub repository of resources](https://github.com/hsf-training/PyHEP-resources){:target="_pyhep_resources_repo"},
+  e.g., Python libraries of interest to Particle Physics.
+
+# PyHEP Series of Workshops
+
+The **PyHEP workshops** are a new series of workshops initiated and supported by the HSF
+with the aim to provide an environment to discuss and promote the usage of Python in the HEP community at large.

+## PyHEP 2018
+
+The first workshop, **PyHEP 2018**, was held as a pre-CHEP event in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 7-8 July 2018, just before the start of the [CHEP 2018 conference](http://chep2018.org/). It focused on a review of where and how Python is used in our community, and what the future will hold.
+The workshop was a forum for the participants, representatives of the community, to discuss topics around the areas of work identified in the HSF [Community White Paper](/activities/cwp.html). There was ample time for discussion.
+
+A keynote presentation on [JupyterLab](http://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/){:target="_pyhep2018_jupyterlab"}
+was given by [Vidar Tonaas Fauske](https://www.simula.no/people/vidar){:target="_pyhep2018_vidar"}.
+
+The [agenda](https://indico.cern.ch/event/694818/){:target="_pyhep2018_indico"} was composed of plenary sessions dedicated to the following topics:
+
+1. Historical perspective and overview
+2. PyROOT and Python bindings
+3. HEP python software ecosystem
+4. Distribution and installation
+5. Analysis frameworks
+6. Python 2 and 3
+7. Open discussion on education and training
+
+There were no training sessions nor hackathons in this first workshop,
+but some level of tuition came in small bites in the various presentations,
+which tried to be educative, not just informative, with well-defined examples relevant to the topics under discussion.
+One of the goals of this PyHEP workshop was the identification of training workshops or hackathons the community would like to have in the future.
