Hi all, A quick good news message: OSDC has made a $5k contribution to NumFOCUS, which is split between support for a women in technology workshop and support for Numpy: http://www.numfocus.org/blog/osdc-donates-5k-to-support-numpy-women-in-tech This was a very nice surprise to me, and a first sign that the FSA (fiscal sponsorship agreement) we recently signed with NumFOCUS is going to yield significant benefits for Numpy. NumFOCUS is also doing a special end-of-year fundraiser. Funds donated (up to $5k) will be tripled by anonymous sponsors: http://www.numfocus.org/blog/numfocus-end-of-year-fundraising-drive-5000-mat... So think of Numpy (or your other favorite NumFOCUS-sponsored project of course) if you're considering a holiday season charitable gift! Cheers, Ralf

That sounds great! Do we have any concrete plans for spending that money, yet? -- Robert Kern

There are: 1. developer meetings 2. MingwPy 3. TBD - Numpy code/infrastructure work Some initial plans were discussed and documented during the first Numpy developer meeting at Scipy'15. See wiki page [1] and meeting minutes [2]. Funding for facilitating more developer meetings (~1 a year) is definitely on the radar. Plans for funding development of new features or other code/infrastructure work are still fuzzy (except for MingwPy, see my email of today on that). We need to transfer the relevant part of those meeting minutes [2] into the docs, and expand upon those to get a clear roadmap online that we can build on. This is work for the next months I think. Cheers, Ralf [1] https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/SciPy-2015-developer-meeting [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IJcYdsHtk8MVAM4AZqFDBSf_nVG-mrB4Tv2bh9u1...
