+# 2019-09-04 NumPy Development Meeting
+
+- Time: 11am Pacific Time
+- Join via Zoom at https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/762261535
+- [Trello workboard](https://trello.com/b/Azg4fYZH/numpy-at-bids)
+- [Previous meetings](https://github.com/BIDS-numpy/docs/tree/master/status_meetings)
+
+**Present:** Inessa, Tyler, Warren, ZJ, Chuck, Hameer, Matti, Stéfan, Ralf, Sebastian, Peter Bell
+
+
+## Follow-up from last meeting / discussions
+- Move multibuild to MacPython and change its name (postpone until November)
+  - move numpy-wheels to the numpy organization
+  - move wheel builds [to azure from appveyor](https://github.com/MacPython/numpy-wheels/pull/60)
+    Stopped work on this until after the current release cycle
+    Nothing has changed since last week
+
+- 1.17.1 and 1.16.5 released!! Documentation at https://numpy.org/doc not updated yet.
+
+- NumPy developer weekend: Nov 22-23. Some of the documentation team may join, we should publish the dates. Tentative agenda [here](https://hackmd.io/t06nCEAfSJ6DhPnkhlUDRg)
+    - Also invite documentation writers that are nearby
+
+- NumPy Community Survey
+Volunteers for translations:
+Hindi  - Pankaj Jangid 
+Chinese - ZJ Poh
+Spanish - ?
+Portuguese - ?
+<i>(Contact Inessa if you would like to help.)</i>
+
+All NumPy community members are invited to contribute to the creation and selection of questions by submitting pull requests to github.com/numpy/numpy-surveys.
+
+
+# Topics
+
+- Refresh the admins of the github [numpy organization admins](https://github.com/orgs/numpy/teams/owners-legacy)
+- Rackspace [wheels](https://7933911d6844c6c53a7d-47bd50c35cd79bd838daf386af554a83.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/) and [openblas](https://3f23b170c54c2533c070-1c8a9b3114517dc5fe17b7c3f8c63a43.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/) uploads.
+  - Matthew Brett has the unencrypted key. Does anyone else?
+    - Should be part of the private repo for NumPy management.
+  - we should upload arm and powerpc OpenBLAS to there as well (currently on DroBox since Tyler builds them)
+- TODO Document ownership of keys in https://gitlab.com/numpy/logistics
+
+- Our [information at nabble](http://numpy-discussion.10968.n7.nabble.com/) is outdated. They asked for names of new admins. Who should we submit? All the steering committee?
+  - Put on Chuck, Ralf, Matti, Sebastian, Stefan
+
+- Private vs. public submodules in namespace, we're continuing to just add random public-looking things, it's a bit of a mess. What do we do?
+    - For `numpy.random` see e.g. [gh-14360](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14360)
+    - Another example: `dir(np.lib.mixins)`
+    - We should add a test that hardcodes the current namespace, and will fail if anything is added without a PR.
+    - Polynomial namespace, multiple ways of calling the poly functions; Eric Wieser has a [suggestion](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/13601#issuecomment-525591808) on how to fix
+- TODO Follow up on surveying new public API surface in `np.random`
+
+- Open PRs, waiting for review/merge:
+  - [NEP-31](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14389), should be merged quickly as per NEP-0
+    - TODO Add a sentence to NEP0 to walk back slightly the highly optimistic merge policy (we will still merge rejected NEPs, but then with the rejected status already in place)
+
+- NEP 31, for those who have read it. (Hameer)
+    - NEP for `uarray`: [PR#14389](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14389), [mailing list thread](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2019-September/079961.html).
+    - Should we change the submodule? I feel since NumPy is not deeply nested, `numpy.overridable` is enough. Vendor or move to `numpy` org?
+    - Should we change the name? `numpy.unumpy` would also be good, although a bit of a tongue twister.
+    - Any other suggestions/discussion?
+
+- [*NEP 32: Remove the financial functions from NumPy*](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14399) has been announced on the mailing list. 
+
+## Additional Details
+
+- Matti
+  - gave a tutorial on wrapping C code at EuroScipy. Participated today in discussions on [diversity](https://hackmd.io/hLbQbLckTUal-XopUJ303Q?both) and sustainability 
+- Sebastian
+    - [Extensible Datatypes for NumPy](https://hackmd.io/kxuh15QGSjueEKft5SaMug)
+    - Started (prototyping): https://github.com/seberg/numpy/pull/6
+
+- Warren
+  - Wrote "NEP 32: Remove the financial functions from NumPy" and announced it on the mailing list.
+  - Learning C API for Python and NumPy custom dtypes:
+    - Created a Python object in C as an exercise: "nannable" int32.
+    - Working on making this into a custom NumPy dtype.
