Is there any chance you'll be repeating this at EuroSciPy?


Things I'd like to work on myself is looking into splitting things
 from multiarray, think about a better internal API for dtype
 registration/hooks (with the goal to remove any date dtype hardcoding
 in both multiarray and ufunc machinery), but I am sure others have
 more interesting ideas :)


I'm not able to get to SciPy so I understand if my vote of support doesn't
count ;-), but I'm very interested in the work on the dtype API. And if it
was on the radar for EuroSciPy there's a good chance I'd be able to help
out. (The combination of a NumPy C tutorial and dtype API work would make a
pretty compelling case for my managers.)

Richard

 Hi there,

 I agreed to help organising NumPy sprints during the scipy 2013
 conference in Austin.

 As some of you may know, Stéfan and me will present a tutorial on
 NumPy C code, so if we do our job correctly, we should have a few new
 people ready to help out during the sprints.

 It would be good to:
   - have some focus topics for improvements
   - know who is going to be there at the sprint to work on things
 and/or help newcomers

I'd like to get a 1.8 beta out or at least get to the point where we can
make that leap. There is a lot of new stuff that needs to be tested, PR's
to go through, and I have a suspicion that a memory allocation error might
have crept in somewhere.

Sure, I am fine doing this in a branch post 1.8.x, I am not in a hurry.

Will you be there at the conference ?

 Yes. I'm not very good at sprinting though. I prefer to amble with a big
 screen, nice keyboard, and a cup of coffee ;)

Oh, I am sure we could get you set up with a projector screen and a nice
bluetooth keyboard... Now, I think you just hit on something with the
coffee.  I don't recall previous sprints having coffee available.

Arrggg, everyone would see my lousy code. I'd be exposed as the naked
