Hi folks,
Matplotlib has received a grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to fund
maintenance! As part of the grant, we have 1 year of funding for a
Research Software Engineering Fellow to carry out this work. If you are
interested in working on Matplotlib full time, please apply! See below
for a link to the full job description and application instructions.
The timeline on this is rather short, so applications are due Jan 3.

Dear Representatives of Pandas-dev,
This is Martin here, a regular user of the pandas library.
First of all, thank you for providing, maintaining and still developing this amazing library which I use pretty much every day.
On that note, I am facing a project that will involve working with pandas heavily, but that is supposed to retain the code for a long period of time (hopefully, for years to come).
I am referring to this piece of information:
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/milestones
It seems that pandas 1.0 has 90% completion rate, while pandas 2.0 is expected to be ready for as early as August 2020, however it strangely has just 10 problems that need to be solved.
Of course, no precise answer is requested. However, I am afraid that in the next couple of months I may write code that might become obsolete in the middle of next summer. Am I right about that?
I did read around the internet and read more articles, so I don't expect neither 1.0 or 2.0 to be drastically different from 0.25.3. At least, I guess most of the code I'd use in 0.25.3 should work normally under 1.0 or 2.0. Is that correct?
Shedding light on this subject may save tons of worries for me, so even a loose delineation of your schedule and the potential impact it may have on code written in 0.25.3 would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to your answer. Best,
Martin
