Public Numba Dev Meeting and Numba 0.50.0rc1
Siu Kwan Lam
Hi Numba Users,
There are two exciting announcements today. First, we are going to have our first public Numba dev meeting on June 9. We would love to hear from the community. Please reply to this thread to suggest discussion topics for the upcoming public meeting. You can find the event details and the Zoom meeting link at: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5rqnddm4gjrdfjm31fsv182epk%40group.calendar.google.com and please review the Code of Conduct (https://github.com/numba/numba-governance/blob/accepted/code-of-conduct.md) prior to joining.
Second, Numba 0.50.0rc1 and llvmlite 0.33.0rc1 are released and available via conda:
conda install -c numba numba=0.50.0rc1
and, pypi:
pip install numba==0.50.0rc1
This release upgrades to LLVM 9, adds support for NumPy 1.18 and greatly improves compiler error messages. For details of all the features and bug fixes, please see the change log at: https://github.com/numba/numba/blob/release0.50/CHANGE_LOG
If all goes well, the official release should go out on June 10, 2020.
And please post any issues you find to Github:

the open dev meeting will be good for community building, but it won't be possible to have detailed discussions. So my first suggestion for this meeting is to clarify what the preferred way for those are. "For discussion" github issues? Discourse?
The above is related to the question of searchable Q&A, which gitter does not provide, and also to usefulness of having public, searchable discussions even among core-devs. I find it really useful to see the history of a certain feature (in particular when modifying it, or building upon it). It's also useful to learn from core-devs in how they approach issues and proposed features, what factors you pay attention to, etc.
Other topics to discuss could include a refresh of the roadmap (ie core devs priorities for 2020, 2021), and in case the roadmap is open, a survey to help shape it.
Kind regards,
Luk

Hi Luk,Thank you for your suggestions. The core devs have been talking about needing a better way for discussion. We would want the github issue tracker reserved for bug reports and have feature/development discussions on something like Discourse. I like your point on having a searchable Q&A will help knowledge transfer to the broader community. We should talk about this at the meeting.As for the roadmap, I certainly want to hear more from the community. Lately, we have been spending a lot of effort in stabilizing the compiler core, making it more maintainable and other internal improvements. The new extension libraries are stretching what Numba was originally designed for, and we are trying hard to keep up with the new trend. While we were focusing on extension libraries, we may have missed requests from other types of users.Regards,Siu
