Hi all, I'm very pleased to announce that NumPy and OpenBLAS have received a joint grant for $195,000 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
In summary, this grant is for high-level documentation, website development and graphic design, governance activities and community building for NumPy, and for technical work on OpenBLAS (which is one of NumPy's key dependencies). I wrote a blog post on what this grant is about and some background at [1], and published the full proposal at [2]. The program managers wrote a blog post about the whole program [3] which is also well worth reading. I'm looking forward to what we'll be able to do with this grant. The work is planned to start quite soon, Dec 1st, and run for one year. Questions and ideas on any aspect of this grant are very welcome!
