[Matplotlib-users] Reports from SciPy 2013

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

SciPy 2013 was a great success.  I didn't get good headcount at the 
matplotlib BOF, but it was a good number, and we had 15 participants at 
various points during the sprints.  It was nice to see the diversity of 
experience with matplotlib at the sprints, and I hope we oldtimers were 
helpful to the newtimers getting started so they can continue to 
contribute in the future.  It was also great to put some faces to many 
of the talented names I've been seeing on github and the mailing list 
lately.

I've summarized the matplotlib BOF as well as the sprint.  I've also 
gone ahead and created MEP placeholders and issues for the major themes 
discussed.

Both of these documents are based on the realtime etherpad notes we made 
during the sessions, and on some of my own recollection, which is known 
to be incomplete or incorrect on occasion.  If I missed something, or 
you feel something isn't expressed in the right light, feel free to edit 
the wiki, but we should keep further discussion on the mailing list, 
github issues or other channels.  It would also be great to have 
volunteers to help write a MEP or two based on the BOF discussion.

Thanks again.  It was really nice to meet all of you!
