Numpy funding update

Hi all, A quick good news message: OSDC has made a $5k contribution to NumFOCUS, which is split between support for a women in technology workshop and support for Numpy: http://www.numfocus.org/blog/osdc-donates-5k-to-support-numpy-women-in-tech This was a very nice surprise to me, and a first sign that the FSA (fiscal sponsorship agreement) we recently signed with NumFOCUS is going to yield significant benefits for Numpy. NumFOCUS is also doing a special end-of-year fundraiser. Funds donated (up to $5k) will be tripled by anonymous sponsors: http://www.numfocus.org/blog/numfocus-end-of-year-fundraising-drive-5000-ma… So think of Numpy (or your other favorite NumFOCUS-sponsored project of course) if you're considering a holiday season charitable gift! Cheers, Ralf

Windows build/distribute plan & MingwPy funding
by Ralf Gommers Jan. 2, 2016

Hi all, You probably know that building Numpy, Scipy and the rest of the Scipy Stack on Windows is problematic. And that there are plans to adopt the static MinGW-w64 based toolchain that Carl Kleffner has done a lot of work on for the last two years to fix that situation. The good news is: this has become a lot more concrete just now, with this proposal for funding: http://mingwpy.github.io/proposal_december2015.html Funding for phases 1 and 2 is already confirmed; the phase 3 part has been submitted to the PSF. Phase 1 (of $1000) is funded by donations made to Numpy and Scipy (through NumFOCUS), and phase 2 (of $4000) by NumFOCUS directly. So a big thank you to everyone who made a donation to Numpy, Scipy and NumFOCUS! I hope that that proposal gives a clear idea of the work that's going to be done over the next months. Note that the http://mingwpy.github.io contains a lot more background info, description of technical issues, etc. Feedback & ideas very welcome of course! Cheers, Ralf

what would you expect A[none] to do?
by Neal Becker Dec. 31, 2015

In my case, what it does is: A.shape = (5760,) A[none] -> (1, 5760) In my case, use of none here is just a mistake. But why would you want this to be accepted at all, and how should it be interpreted?
