May I ask whether matplotlib is taking part in this year's GSoC? I'm canvassing ideas for the Climate Code Foundation's participation, and some scientists have suggested matplotlib-related improvements (e.g. a GUI tool for constructing and managing segmented colormaps). Some might be specific to climate science, others might be more generally useful to other matplotlib users. In any case, if a student embarked on something like that, they'd need to join the matplotlib development community as well as ours, so I thought I'd drop by and see whether GSoC-sponsored development would be welcome. -- Nick Barnes, Climate Code Foundation, http://climatecode.org/ |

They would certainly be welcome. We haven't solicited proposals, but we could mentor one to three students who were interested. A colormap GUI tool would be welcome, but it doesn't sound like an entire summer would be needed, so we might want to bolt on some stuff (like general improvements in mpl widgets and events to support design of such a tool in native mpl rather than, or in addition to, a UI specific tool) JDH |

I would just add that a segmented colormap tool is something that has occurred to me several times as a good wish-list item, and that as a physical oceanographer I certainly support expanded use of the python stack in climate science.

An OpenGL backend would be a nice project also. I've gathered some experience with glumpy and I can help/mentor but I suspect I'm not familiar enough with all the matplotlib internals to do this alone.

Work on the 3d graphics backend in general would be cool to see too, and could likely be added to a openGL project. Jason |

My organization is looking for projects which contribute to our own goal (to promote the public understanding of climate science): in this context we're helping climate scientists adopt open source techniques and tools. For matplotlib that means asking climate scientists for their ideas (which is where the colormap tool idea came from). For general-purpose matplotlib projects, I recommend that matplotlib apply to be a mentoring organization. The application window closes on the 6th. -- Nick Barnes, Climate Code Foundation, http://climatecode.org/ |

Sorry, same for me. I was only suggesting potential ideas for GSoC.

I was just encouraging matplotlib to become a mentoring org so some of these good ideas can get taken up. -- Nick Barnes, Climate Code Foundation, http://climatecode.org/ |
