I am one of the co-chairs of the Birds of a Feather (BOF) committee at SciPy 2016, taking place this year from July 11-17. We are actively seeking moderators to propose BOF sessions on any number of topics. If someone on this list (a numpy dev, perhaps?) is interested in leading a numpy-focused session at SciPy this year, the submission form can be found here: http://scipy2016.scipy.org/ehome/146062/332970/ The BOF can take the form of a panel or open discussion. We have one submission already for a BOF focused on future plans for matplotlib development, so a parallel session on numpy future development is sure to be of general interest.' Thanks, and we'll see some of you in Austin next month! --Mike Hearne
