[TriPython] Success at SciPy Conference

[Chris Calloway]

I want to thank everyone who contributed to our GoFundMe campaign so 
send Luke Campagnola to the SciPy Conference. Luke was a success there 
beyond our wildest dreams.

First, Luke's talk was the toast of the conference. It was so liked that 
it was placed at the top of the SciPy2015 video playlist featured at the 
top of the front page:

As I walked the halls of the conference, I could hear everyone talking 
about it. He was such a good speaker and the crowd burst out in applause 
in the middle of his talk.

At the end of Jake VanderPlas's State of the Tools keynote, he suggested 
that we might need to replace Matplotlib with VisPy.

During the Maplotlib sprints, there were discussions about how to slide 
VisPy under the Matplotlib API and let VisPy be the Matplotlib workhorse 
engine.

Luke even had the best lightning talk of the conference (at 34:58, 
marked here):

Your contributions had a direct effect to help advance the forefront of 
Python. Thank you.
