I just read the blog post about Travis switching jobs Enthought. Was that posted here? If so I'm surprised I missed it. Anyway that sounds like great news for the NumPy/SciPy communities. I hope it also is great news for you and your family, Travis. I have to say that I took some amount of inspiration from seeing how much you were able to do with the open source community while being a tenure track prof, since I've thought about going to academia myself, but would hate to give up involvement with open source projects. Maybe I need to rethink the academia thing now, though.
My real question though -- I was wondering whether this move would have any impact on the NumPy documentation? I purchased my copy, and am glad to have been able to contribute to your efforts by doing so, but I know not everyone feels the same. If I recall, part of the incentive given for making the documentation for-fee was that your day-job didn't compensate you for writing such documentation or other NumPy efforts, so charging for documentation was one way to get back a little something. But if I understand correctly, your current employer is very enthusiastic about your work on NumPy. So how about opening up the vault on the documentation a couple of years early? Or is there some sort of contractual agreement with Tregol that prevents that? Just wondering. --bb _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
