Hi,
I'm on the ATLAS mailing list, maybe some of y'all are too. Clint Whaley, the author of ATLAS, was asking for letters to support his tenure case. That is, letters saying that lots of us benefit greatly from his work - which is obviously true.
Can we the numpy community produce such a letter? Who would it best come from?

If the place where he is seeking tenure does not know his name (i.e hasn't heard of ATLAS) then it is not a good place to seek tenure in :) .
It seems to me that we are so used to depending on ATLAS we forget just how much we rely on Clint to support and improve it. This seems like one of those rare times when it's fairly easy to give something back... Best, Matthew
