NumFOCUS is offering $3000 grants for work on its associated projects
(see below for more information).
If anyone in the SymPy community is interested in applying for this
let me know (only one proposal per project is allowed, so please let
me know if you are interested in applying so we can coordinate in case
multiple people are interested).
For those who don't know, I received a similar grant last year which
paid for my work on the SymPy 1.1 release
(https://www.numfocus.org/blog/numfocus-awards-small-development-grants-to-projects).
And in case you don't know, NumFOCUS is a nonprofit dedicated to open
source scientific software, of which SymPy is a member project. You
can find out more about NumFOCUS at https://www.numfocus.org/

I'd like to see an application from some for one or the other:
- Major documentation cleanup, restructuring to make it more in line with the quality of other leading packages, and to organize a sprint around this.
- Pull request downsizing: focus on triaging, completing simple ones, and organizing a sprint to tackle harder ones.

To clarify, this grant would be for someone who is already an active
SymPy contributor. If you are new to SymPy, and a student, you should
apply for Google Summer of Code, which is mentored.

Hello Aaron,
Please confirm the details link for Small Development Grants is : https://numfocus.org/blog/numfocus-awards-small-development-grants-to-projects and project is " SymPy 1.1 Release Support" .

NumFOCUS runs this same grant program several times a year.
The release support for the 1.1 release was this same grant from 2017.
We also received the grant in Fall 2018 to reimplement MatchPy in C++
in SymEngine (https://numfocus.org/blog/fall-2018-open-source-development-grants).
Both projects were successful.
Both of these show the sort of thing that can be done with this grant.

Hello Aaron,
I am interested for the project "SymPy 1.1 Release Support" - Small Development Grants. I read the project description and understood it.
I can see that SymPy 1.3 has been already released, which was manually written. And release note 1.4 is getting updated by SymPy Bot automatically.
So point
> Writing release notes for the aforementioned approximately 500 changes since version 1.0.
is not required right?
Hence that means project is all about :
1. Making sure any blocking issues are fixed before the release is made. ...
2. Update the automated script that does the actual release [ Can you please explain a bit this point? means what kind of update is required]
3. Make a release candidate, and fix any major issues that are found in it by the community.
4. Make the final release, including uploading the tarball to PyPI, and updating various websites. ..
Please share any link related to previous year work on this project, so that I can understand it more clearly.

Also, I found "SymPy: MatchPy C++ code generator for SymPy/symengine" project challenging. I try to understand the problem statement and going through some related links like :
Please let me know if you have any other link in mind, which shows the next part of the work done on this project.
Thanks and regards,

The point of the grant is to do any project relating to SymPy. These
are the projects that were already done in the past. We could submit a
proposal to do a project that is related to one that is already done,
but it does not need to be related. The project that did the 1.1
release did a lot of work that doesn't need to be done again, such as
rewriting the script that does the release. And also as you noted, the
release notes are made automatically now, so that work does not need
to be done either. For the 1.4 release, we just need to fix a couple
of blocking issues (I think most already have PRs that just need to be
reviewed) https://github.com/sympy/sympy/milestone/51, then I can do
the release quite easily.
If you are interested in this, I would suggest finding a project that
you are already familiar with. The grant would not be mentored like
GSoC, so it should be something that you can work on mostly
independently.

Hello Aaron,
Thanks for clarifying. My most of the work is around Solvers module (but I am ready for any new things as well).
I see that good amount of work is pending in SymEngine solvers and Ruby wrapper.
When I see the SymEngine Ruby wrapper, I feel that we need better documentation, examples and need to update (refactor) the code (the last commit was on 12 Oct 2016 on symengine.rb ).
I have gone through some related links :
Here I focused on SymEngine Ruby wrapper, because I had completed the GSoC 2017 project under SciRuby after completion of GSoC 2016 under SymPy.
Please let me know if you have any priority task that should be done in this Development Grants.
Thanks and regards,

Hello,
Shekhar, Aaron maybe we can collectively prioritize a list of things that need to be accomplished in `SymEngine` as there seems to be a lot of work. Also, there hasn't been a new release of SymEngine in a while, we can set some benchmarks and work towards its next release.

Oops! I apologize. In the multiple layers of past calls, I missed that this current call was for projects to complete before the end of 2020. I withdraw my request as there is no way I can manage that.

Dear SymPy Community,
Would there be support for nominating my work on the coding and documentation of the implementation of equations in sympy core (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/19479)?
I am not making much progress now because of the current teaching situation at my University. With some funding I could justify devoting myself to it next summer, or possibly use the funds to reduce my teaching load to focus more on it next spring.

There was a correction to the call, which I forgot to cross post here. The work should be completed in 2021, not 2020.

Hello!
I would love to work on the implementation of Risch algorithm. Right now, I am going through the algorithms for integrating rational functions from Bronstein's book and will then take a look the unmerged PRs which were done in previously. I guess I'll get an idea of the roadmap of this project once I take a thorough look at the work done so far. Also, when is the deadline in 2021? Or is it for the entire year?
