[Chicago] pandas/pydata workshop/sprint proposal

[Vasily Trubetskoy]

With my limited experience with Pandas, it is quite similar to R in that it
aims to be an environment in which data analysis is performed. Sounds
vague, but R and pandas solve some common problems when getting a feel for
a data set: simple regression, applying a kernel across some data,
plotting, etc. A big draw is supporting libraries for stuff like
statistics, and data structures (dataframes!) that support these common
tasks.

I would be very interested in attending something like this!
