Open-source is for the people, by the people

About this episode

Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy and SciPy, joins Ryan to explore the development of Python as a data science tool, the evolution of these foundational libraries, and the importance of community and collaboration in open-source projects, including Travis’ current work to support sustainable open-source through the OpenTeams Incubator. 

Episode notes: 

NumPy and SciPy are the fundamental packages and algorithms for scientific computing with Python. NumPy 2.3.0 and SciPy 1.16.0 are out now. 

The OpenTeams Incubator helps start, grow, and sustain open-source software communities.

Quansight is a data, science, and engineering firm rooted in the work of the Python Data, Science, and AI/ML open-source communities.
