Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, we are organizing an international sprint in Paris
late July. In order for the sprint to be successful, we are looking for
funding. If you are using scikit-learn professionally, please consider
funding the event or advertising the sprint. Here is a brief description of
why and how you should fund this event:
Scikit-learn is an easy-to-use and general purpose machine learning toolbox
written in Python. It provides state-of-the-art implementations of many
well known machine learning algorithms, while maintaining an easy-to-use
interface tightly integrated with the Python language. The development of
this toolbox only started at the beginning of 2010, but in only a few
years, the project has grown to a mature world wide opensource project.
More than 50 developers have done non trivial contributions, 28 have
contributed in the last 4 months and more than 44000 lines of code have
been written.
International sprints are a crucial part in helping scikit-learn be a state
of the art, well maintained dynamic project.
The last international sprint (Granada, Spain, 2010) has had a striking
effects on the quality of the code [1]_, and us integrate
new developers (Andy Mueller, now release manager, Jake Vanderplas, Gilles
Louppe...)
The next international sprint will take place in Paris, from the 22nd to
the 28th of July [2]_: your sponsorship helps keeping the sprint affordable
for young and talented contributors. If you are interested in funding,
please contact us at any time.

Many thanks,
