The Codematician

Python has been a community I've called home for the last 20 years.

When I rejoined the NumFOCUS Admin Board in late 2024, I knew we had significant work ahead.

The new NumFOCUS admin board met for the first time this week and I can say that I am truly honored to serve the community in this capacity.

I seem to be waking up with purpose every morning so I felt it good to get a list of things I would like to do in 2025.

You accomplish less in one year than you want more more in 10 than you ever expect.

Seems the first duty as a new director at NumFOCUS is to determine when we should be meeting.

A few weeks ago, I was elected to a new term on the NumFOCUS board.

Last weekend I was working at the concession stand.

SciPy2014 is over, but there is so much more to do.

So long academia and thanks for all the debates!

At PyCon2013, a group of about 30 developers got together to discuss NumPy and SciPy.

It's been a week since the end of SciPy2013, where I was co-chair, and I'm just now catching my breath.

The early registration deadline is rapidly approaching for SciPy2013, and all our decisions on speakers are out.

The post reiterating that the biggest problem in teaching software carpentry (SWC) is installation, got me all in a tissy.

Make your software useful.

There are two major hurdles to Python disrupting the entire HPC work stack: packaging and dynamic loading.

For SciPy2012 I was given the privilege of serving as the co-chair of the program committee.

Getting to know Python is a pretty hairy task, as is diving into any language.
