Hi all,
Shocked by news of John Hunter's untimely severe health problems and now
death, I have been thinking about what we could do as a community to 1)
fuel matplotlib to further heights and 2) give everyone, but especially
John's family, some appreciation for how wide, and ongoing, his impact
is. To those ends, I envision an MPL figure contest.
I have a lot of ideas about the shape such a contest could take (it
could be an annual event, have multiple categories, have corporate
sponsored prizes, and so on). Ultimately, however, I simply don't have
the time to organize the contest myself. I do see this as an ideal
project for someone who wants to contribute to the MPL community without
necessarily requiring in-depth technical skills. Consequently, I'm
floating this idea here, and I hope someone in the community can run
with it. You would certainly have figure submissions from my lab!
Best regards,
Andrew
