[Numpy-discussion] A second CZI grant for NumPy and OpenBLAS

[Melissa Mendonça]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that NumPy and OpenBLAS have (again) received a joint
grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Here is the official press release [1], medium article [2], and the full
list of grantees [3]. I also wrote a blog post about it to explain a bit
more about the details of the proposal [4].

For NumPy, this funding is meant to support activities related to the
Documentation Team (maintenance, onboarding of new team members), but also
maintenance and development work for f2py. For this, we are glad to be able
to support Pearu Peterson and hope we can improve the state of Fortran
integration [5] in Python.

The grant is for a year of work, starting on January 1st, 2021. I hope this
can have a positive impact on the community and I am grateful to be able to
be a part of it.

All comments, questions and considerations are welcome!

Cheers,

Melissa
