Better Future

Progress

How can economic and/or social progress be measured?

  • Efficiency – use less resources for a given output
  • Productivity – generate more output from given resources
  • Quality – create something new

Web-based, Collaborative Data Analytics

... and Development, Visualization, Presentation, Publication, Documentation

Maybe Our Biggest Challenge ...

... to make the use of Python as simple and reliable as possible

As a community, we should put our emphasis, among others, maybe even more on topics like:

  • Education – at schools, universities, in trainings, through books
  • Installation – distribution (e.g. Anaconda), Web services (e.g. Wakari.io), packaging (e.g. Binstar.org)
  • Standardization – language (2 vs. 3), style (PEP 8), documentation (Sphinx)
  • Building Services – professionally supporting libraries, packages, distributions
