Re: [Numpy-discussion] UC Berkeley hiring developers to work on NumPy

Okay, a few more details :-) The initial funding here is a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to UCB with me as PI, in the amount of $645,020. There's also another thing in the pipeline that might supplement that, but it'll be ~6 months yet before we know for sure. So keep your fingers crossed I guess. Here's some text from the proposal (the references to "this year" may give some sense of how long this has taken...): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xHjQqc8V8zJk7WSCyw9NPCpMYZ2Urh0cmFm2vDd1... -n On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 3:40 PM, Nathaniel Smith wrote:

Awesome! This is really great news.

Does this mean is several person-years of funding secured?

Yes – hoping to give more details there soon. (There's nothing dire and secretive, it's just the logistics of getting an announcement approved by funder communication people didn't work with getting something out by PyCon, so this is the slightly confusing compromise.)
