[matplotlib-devel] matplotlib user survey 2013

2013-07-02 Thread Michael Droettboom 

[Apologies for cross-posting]

The matplotlib developers want to hear from you!

We are conducting a user survey to determine how and where matplotlib is 
being used in order to focus its further development.


This should only take a couple of minutes.  To fill it out, visit:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dHpQS25pcTZIRWdqX0pNckNSU01sMHc6MQ 



Please forward to your colleagues, particularly those who don't read 
these mailing lists.


Cheers,
Michael Droettboom, and the matplotlib team

Hey folks,

I just downloaded the RC4 Gohlke binary for 64-bit Python 3.3, and the test
suite is blowing up. Mostly related to the baseline images not being
included. Is there a trick to get the test suite to meaningfully run on
Windows? The test suite for Python 2.7.5 (via Anaconda) went relevatively
well(1 failure + 1 error, I think).

Thanks,

The official release candidate binaries include all the test data. The 
final binaries and the ones on my site do not because of the ~30 MB 
overhead.

Thanks, Christoph. Humming along just fine now.

[matplotlib-devel] Updating copyright model in license

2013-07-02 Thread Michael Droettboom 
As many of you are well aware, John Hunter has been the sole copyright 
holder on matplotlib from the beginning.  I'm sorry it's taken nearly a 
year to do this (as can often happen in sad situations like this), but I 
think we do need to address it going forward.


I have a PR for this change in #2195.

Heavily influenced by the IPython licensing, I propose to move us to a 
shared copyright model, where authors retain copyright on their 
individual contributions, but the code base as a whole belongs to the 
entire community of contributors. This does not actually change the 
license from the BSD one that we have had all along, so should have no 
impact on its usability in or with other projects.  I feel pretty 
strongly that this is the right direction, as it reflects that 
matplotlib was and is a community project.  (And just to be clear, this 
is in no way an attempt to reduce John's credit for the amazing work 
that he began).


I hope this will be noncontroversial, but I'm always wary of starting 
legal discussions on a mailing list.


Mike

+1

Not that I have any right to speak for him, but I suspect/imagine that
he would have been totally on board with this plan, and I wouldn't be
surprised if the fact that it hadn't happened before wasn't simply an
oversight.

Very happy to see you take this step, I think it's the right approach.

Cheers,

f

Purely as a legal matter, I believe that what you mean is, you're
suggesting updating the documentation in the source files to more
accurately reflect the current model? Unless everyone's been signing
written documents transferring their copyright (which is the only
effective way to transfer copyright in the US and AFAIK most other
jurisdictions), then right now matplotlib's copyright is owned by the
community of contributors, and has been so long as there have been
contributors.

IANAL, but I assumed as much.  The real problem I'm trying to resolve is 
that the explicitly specified copyright (whether it applies or not) is 
still John Hunter.

IPython changed from explicitly listing individuals in their copyright 
line to referring to the IPython community fairly recently, and 
obviously under different circumstances.  Fernando -- was there a 
particular impetus for that or model you were following?
