Hi All,
On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy
1.18.5. This is a short release to enable pickle protocol=5 to be used in
Python3.5 and is motivated by the recent backport of pickle5 to Python3.5.
The Python versions supported in this release are 3.5-3.8. Downstream
developers should use Cython >= 0.29.15 for Python 3.8 support and OpenBLAS
>= 3.7 to avoid errors on the Skylake architecture. Wheels for this release
can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.18.5>, source
archives and release notes are available from Github
<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.18.5>.

Everyone is invited to join in and edit the work-in-progress meeting
topics and notes:

I encourage everyone to notify us of issues or PRs that you feel should
be prioritized or simply discussed briefly. Just comment on it so we
can label it, or add your PR/issue to this weeks topics for discussion.
Best regards

Dear numpy community,
My apologies for repeated in-list and cross-list posts!
I'd like to remind everybody that the 2020 John Hunter Excellence in
Plotting Contest submission deadline is June 01 -- only a few days away. We
welcome and look forward to your submissions!
In memory of John Hunter, we are pleased to announce the John Hunter
Excellence in Plotting Contest for 2020. This open competition aims to
highlight the importance of data visualization to scientific progress and
showcase the capabilities of open source software.
Participants are invited to submit scientific plots to be judged by a
panel. The winning entries will be announced and displayed at SciPy 2020 or
announced in the John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Contest website and
youtube channel.
John Hunter’s family are graciously sponsoring cash prizes for the winners
in the following amounts:
-
1st prize: $1000
-
2nd prize: $750
-
3rd prize: $500
-
Entries must be submitted by June 1st to the form at
https://forms.gle/SrexmkDwiAmDc7ej7
-
Winners will be announced at Scipy 2020 or publicly on the John Hunter
Excellence in Plotting Contest website and youtube channel
-
Participants do not need to attend the Scipy conference.
-
Entries may take the definition of “visualization” rather broadly.
Entries may be, for example, a traditional printed plot, an interactive
visualization for the web, a dashboard, or an animation.
-
Source code for the plot must be provided, in the form of Python code
and/or a Jupyter notebook, along with a rendering of the plot in a widely
used format. The rendering may be, for example, PDF for print, standalone
HTML and Javascript for an interactive plot, or MPEG-4 for a video. If the
original data can not be shared for reasons of size or licensing, "fake"
data may be substituted, along with an image of the plot using real data.
-
Each entry must include a 300-500 word abstract describing the plot and
its importance for a general scientific audience.
-
Entries will be judged on their clarity, innovation and aesthetics, but
most importantly for their effectiveness in communicating a real-world
problem. Entrants are encouraged to submit plots that were used during the
course of research or work, rather than merely being hypothetical.
-
SciPy and the John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Contest organizers
reserves the right to display any and all entries, whether prize-winning or
not, at the conference, use in any materials or on its website, with
attribution to the original author(s).
