Yes, it’s a survey. But it’s very important. Having limited human and financial resources is a common challenge for open source projects. NumPy is not an exception. Please join this structured dialogue with the NumPy leadership team to better guide and prioritize decision-making about the developm

I agree with the idea of setting apart the parameter from python , "by" sounds like a good alternative Rakesh On Wed, Jul 1, 2020, 18:45 Sebastian Berg wrote: > On Wed, 2020-07-01 at 12:48 -0700, Stephan Hoyer wrote: > > On Wed, Jul 1, 2020 at 12:23 PM Sebastian Berg < > > sebast...@sipsoluti

Thank you all for your input on this proposal. I am very grateful for the time you have all spent to provide such well reasoned critiques and I'm especially glad to see that this thread has triggered discussion of other, more pragmatic, actions that the community can take in pursuit of climate just

Thank you everyone. This is a fascinating thread, and very interesting to see how it has transformed into constructive discussion of positive action. Along that line I think it could be useful to curate a list of Python (and OpenSci) packages using Numpy, SciPy, or any part of the Python scientific

I can repost this on pvlib (solar energy photovoltaic library) Python Google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/pvlib-python). We have plenty of both climate and atmospheric scientists, and we are avid users of Numpy, SciPy, and the scientific stack. We would love to share constructiv

Hi Inessa, Thanks for offering! I definitely want to participate but I would *love it* if an actual climate scientist or even *any* atmospheric scientist would step up to chair the session! I have not thought all that deeply about this problem, and mostly I feel helpless and frustrated. If no

Hi, Juan! I’m still in the process of scheduling live networking sessions at SciPy’20 and would be happy to set up one on the topic of Python for Climate Action. We could host it on July 8th or 10th at 5 - 6 p.m. CDT. Would you be available to moderate it? > -- Forwarded message -

Ralf basically wrote the email that I was about the send in a much more structured way so thanks for that. I'd like to mention also that oil&gas industry practically cannot be cornered by these restrictions. So even the cause is very noble and I wholeheartedly agree, forcing this type of exclusions

Hi everyone, If you live in Australia, this has been a rough year to think about climate change. After the hottest and driest year on record, over 20% of the forest surface area of the south east was burned in the bushfires. Although I was hundreds of kilometres from the nearest fire, the air q
