NumPy sprints at Scipy 2013, Austin: call for topics and hands to help
Hi there, I agreed to help organising NumPy sprints during the scipy 2013 conference in Austin. As some of you may know, Stéfan and me will present a tutorial on NumPy C code, so if we do our job correctly, we should have a few new people ready to help out during the sprints. It would be good to: - have some focus topics for improvements - know who is going to be there at the sprint to work on things and/or help newcomers Things I'd like to work on myself is looking into splitting things from multiarray, think about a better internal API for dtype registration/hooks (with the goal to remove any date dtype hardcoding in both multiarray and ufunc machinery), but I am sure others have more interesting ideas :) thanks, David

I'd like to get a 1.8 beta out or at least get to the point where we can make that leap. There is a lot of new stuff that needs to be tested, PR's to go through, and I have a suspicion that a memory allocation error might have crept in somewhere. Chuck

Sure, I am fine doing this in a branch post 1.8.x, I am not in a hurry.

Will you be there at the conference ? David

Yes. I'm not very good at sprinting though. I prefer to amble with a big screen, nice keyboard, and a cup of coffee ;) Chuck

Oh, I am sure we could get you set up with a projector screen and a nice bluetooth keyboard... Now, I think you just hit on something with the coffee. I don't recall previous sprints having coffee available. Ben Root

Arrggghhhh, everyone would see my lousy code. I'd be exposed as the naked emporer I am ;) Chuck

Is there any chance you'll be repeating this at EuroSciPy? Things I'd like to work on myself is looking into splitting things
from multiarray, think about a better internal API for dtype registration/hooks (with the goal to remove any date dtype hardcoding in both multiarray and ufunc machinery), but I am sure others have more interesting ideas :)
I'm not able to get to SciPy so I understand if my vote of support doesn't count ;-), but I'm very interested in the work on the dtype API. And if it was on the radar for EuroSciPy there's a good chance I'd be able to help out. (The combination of a NumPy C tutorial and dtype API work would make a pretty compelling case for my managers.)
