Brainstorm of potential stories

[pdehaye]

• something on our vision and aims (why? how? what?); very high level for the man on the street;
• something on Parliament's stance towards mathematics (?);
• "long standing issues such as Windows deployment"
• PEPs, upstream packages contributions, varieties of systems involved in some specific deliverable;
• verticals: applications of deep math to cutting edge science through math software

I will add, on a personal note, that while I understand and appreciate (on some level) what the project is trying to achieve, I have had a hard time articulating it friends and family who ask about what I work on. So it's something I'm interested in thinking about as well...

Regarding

PEPs, upstream packages contributions, varieties of systems involved in some specific deliverable

• At least one (draft) PEP has come out of my work on supporting Sage on Windows: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0539/ It is mostly uncontroversial and is likely to be accepted pending some updates I need to make. There may also be some other PEPs to come out of the project.

• That work has also resulted in at least a few bug fixes to Cygwin and one slightly non-trivial enhancement, possibly with others to come if I get the time (not high priority though).

Cool!

Which communities are common to both of you?
