</span>Hello Olemis and Betsy:<br>
<br>
Sorry for the delayed summary about Jeudy visit (I have been sick for<br>
more than a week and I still remain in bed).<br>
<br>
Previous to meeting Olemis send us 5 points to talk about: Jeudy's<br>
university work / SciPY expectations / Sci in Costa Rica / European<br>
investment intentions / SciPy 2018 in Costa Rica<br>
<br>
* Jeudy is working on Machine Learning applications for astronomy data<br>
analysis.<br>
* He expects to have more contact with latinoamerican investigators<br>
across scipyla.<br>
* Few news about science in Costa Rica, but good news about python<br>
has been established as official language in national universities<br>
of Costa Rica.<br>
* Any knowledge abou European investment intentions in Costa Rica<br>
* No yet Costa Rica critical mass to hold SciPy LA 2018.<br>
<br>
The rest of the debated points:<br>
* Some specific projects needed in astronomy for a whole python<br>
sci ecosystem (E.g. IDL).<br>
* Details about scipyla 2016 in Brazil. We conclude that the event in<br>
Cuba will be bigger in participants.<br>
* Details about Cuba, political situation and other important aspects<br>
related with scipyla organization.<br>
* We defined a way to interchange news, email and future<br>
information we could need from him and Costa Rica community,<br>
principally across mail packages due to low band Internet in Cuba.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Note: Olemis forgot to mention on the October report the advances in the<br>
conversation with TPP journal and the creation of SciPyLA 2017 OJS<br>
section to manage the paper review process.<br>
