Re: [matplotlib-devel] Developer summit at Scipy?

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

That is unfortunate that we can't have a summit before/after SciPy 2014. I
have also booked my flights and hotel, and the only time I would have to
fit a "summit" outside of SciPy 2014 would be Saturday, July 5th in the
evening.

I will be there, though, for the entire conference (including both sprint
days). Perhaps we can have a somewhat formalized Birds-of-a-feather
session? Maybe with a discussion panel and some short presentations on our
visions for future matplotlib development?
