Re: [Pytables-users] 10 years of PyTables

[Anthony S. <sc...@gm...>]

Congrats Francesc!

It is a testament to how useful PyTables is that it is still around and
going strong!

Personally, I know that your fast, polite, and in-depth responses on the
mailing list have made PyTables the great resources that it is.
 Additionally,
it has served as a model to me for how open source projects *should* be run!

I'd also really like to thank Antonio for driving new features into the
code base!

If only we were all on the same continent, we could have a PyTables birthday
party or something...

Be Well
Anthony
