OOI Is anyone planning to run an advanced matplotlib tutorial this year? I've added a few ideas to https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/Scipy-2013 - some are more advanced than others and would need a bit of planning should we decide to run with them. On 23 March 2013 17:06, Damon

I think there is something to be said for not starting from pylab. Answering questions on SO, a good chunk of them (by volume) can be traced back to not understanding the magic that pylab is doing for you in the background or not even knowing magic is being done for you. Starting from pylab makes

I'm hoping to host a matplotlib sprint during the final two days of Scipy 2013 this year, and I hope to see as many as possible of you there. I think it's also really important to bring new developers into sprints, because it's such an efficient way to get people familiar with the code base.
