Throughout the summer, Ondrej was always responsive via email/phone/chat.
He was extremely patient with me as I started learning and using git, and
also as I became more familiar with the Sympy code base. It was great
working with him and I am extremely thankful for the oppurtunity.
-My office mate, Thomas Johnston, and I had numerous discussions about
dynamics and how to implement algorithms in a generic setting. We spent
many lunches and afternoons discussion the general procedure one takes when
deriving equations of motion using Kane's method, and many of his
suggestions were implemented in PyDy. It was great having somebody else
who is familiar with Kane's method (and who also knows Python) to talk
with. The discussion with him have definitely improved PyDy.

I am thankful that Google is such a strong sponsor of open source
software. This project wouldn't have happened at the speed it did if it
hadn't been for there Summer of Code program, so I am indebted to them for
this. Thanks Google!

-I am still working actively on PyDy and will continue to do so as much as
possible. It is my hope that other people who study dynamical systems will
be interested in collaborative efforts to improve and extend PyDy in order
to give it much more functionality. My most pressing goals at the moment
are to use PyDy to derive the equations of motion for a bicycle model that
I use in my research. This is a notoriously difficult system to model
without making lots of simplifying assumptions, so if PyDy can do it, I am
confident that it can do nearly any system that is thrown its way.

-Integrating PyDy into a MayaVi / Traits application is on my list of
things to do as well. This would be an amazing way to interact and study a
dynamical system -- visualize it, perform stability analysis, and perform
symbolic manipulations to the equations all within one place.
