My preferences are (in order) Releasing 0.7.3 Assumptions Auto-evaluation Solve And seeing as the last three are pretty hard, we may just want to focus on releasing. That is easy. We just need to merge pull requests, iron out bugs, and, most importantly, work on automating the process. Even people who have never contributed to SymPy before could help out with things like writing the release notes. > > > Aaron, you seem to have an encyclopedic recall of the issue tracker.

I can't remember general trends.

(I notice that David Li will be attending) There will be plenty of opportunities to talk throughout the conference. There are also BoFs. We can see about organizing a SymPy one. I agree about talking about all these things. I've CCd Andy Terrel, who is a long time SymPy community member and also a chair of the conference. By the way, on a slightly related topic, if anyone wants to help out or give feedback on the tutorial Ondrej and I will be giving at SciPy, just ping me. I will be working on it all weekend. We're still fleshing out some details (like how we plan to actually present the material), so feedback is welcome.
