Building the PyData Community
summary
Describes building PyData around a nonprofit called num Focus claiming US 501c3 status to fund numpy scipy pandas IPython and community activities, funded partly by Continuum analytics and event sponsors. Lists concrete programs: women in science technology workshops that brought 60 high school girls to a Facebook-hosted event, a John Hunter technical fellowship awarded to Olga Banck UC San Diego, creation of conda and anaconda, and ongoing funding and free-rider concerns with suggested corporate “tithe.”
