I'm not sure if you're aware that Numpy, Scipy and many other scientific Python projects have been participating under the umbrella of the PSF for a number of years already (see https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2014). For this year we'd like to keep it that way. I'll email you privately with more details and to see if I can help you in any way. Cheers, Ralf
