Hi Inessa, Happy holidays to you and everyone on this list! Also, I'm excited to see what you can do in this new role! It's great that we have dedicated funded time for improving the contributor experience. It's been a few months since Melissa announced that we got a new grant (jointly with SciPy, Matplotlib and Pandas) [1], so for those people who would like some more context, the grant proposal is described in Melissa's message and published at [2]. Cheers, Ralf [1] https://mail.python.org/archives/list/numpy-discussion@python.org/message/VU... [2] https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Advancing_an_inclusive_culture...
