Dear all,

place in Austin, TX on July, 11th to 17th. The conference features two days
of tutorials by followed by three days of presentations, and concludes with
two days of developer sprints on projects of interest to attendees. .

The topics presented at SciPy are very diverse, with a focus on advanced
software engineering and original uses of Python and its scientific
libraries, either in theoretical or experimental research, from both
academia and the industry. This year we are happy to announce two
specialized tracks that run in parallel to the general conference (Data
Science , High Performance Computing) and 8 mini-symposia (Earth and Space
