Hello Olemis and Betsy:

Sorry for the delayed summary about Jeudy visit (I have been sick for
more than a week and I still remain in bed).

Previous to meeting Olemis send us 5 points to talk about: Jeudy's
university work / SciPY expectations / Sci in Costa Rica / European
investment intentions / SciPy 2018 in Costa Rica

* Jeudy is working on Machine Learning applications for astronomy data
  analysis.
* He expects to have more contact with latinoamerican investigators
  across scipyla.
* Few news about science in Costa Rica, but good news about python
  has been established as official language in national universities
  of Costa Rica.
* Any knowledge abou European investment intentions in Costa Rica
* No yet Costa Rica critical mass to hold SciPy LA 2018.

The rest of the debated points:
* Some specific projects needed in astronomy for a whole python
  sci ecosystem (E.g. IDL).
* Details about scipyla 2016 in Brazil. We conclude that the event in
  Cuba will be bigger in participants.
* Details about Cuba, political situation and other important aspects
  related with scipyla organization.
* We defined a way to interchange news, email and future
  information we could need from him and Costa Rica community,
  principally across mail packages due to low band Internet in Cuba.

Thanks

Note: Olemis forgot to mention on the October report the advances in the
conversation with TPP journal and the creation of SciPyLA 2017 OJS
section to manage the paper review process.
