[scikit-learn] [Data Umbrella] AFME (Africa & Middle East) scikit-learn open source sprint (scikit-learn)

[Reshama Shaikh]

Hello,
The report from the Data Umbrella Africa & Middle East sprint is here [a].

SUMMARY
- 40 people joined
- 17 countries represented
- 57% were returning contributors

There are a lot of good plots in the report. This is one of the first times
I've examined attrition more closely, related to gender and country.

Thanks to everyone on the Data Umbrella and scikit-learn teams for their
assistance in making this happen!

Best,
