$ sudo make my summer thrilling

It’s been a while since I posted or blogged about something, and the situation looks still the same…

Coming to some good news… My last blog ended with the submission of my GSoC proposal. From the framing of my sentence you would’ve guessed already that my GSoC2020 proposal got accepted. I wanted to tell you about this on the day I received my acceptance letter but this semester drained the soul out of me just like what happened to prison mike in prison. But on the serious note, I’ll work under NumFOCUS which is an umbrella organization supporting relatively small organizations related to scientific computing. The organization I’ve chosen under NumFOCUS is PySAL (an abbreviation of Python Spatial Analysis Library) mainly used in geospatial data science. My project Raster awareness in PySAL proposes an interface that will support PySAL’s statistical operations on raster objects (more details can be obtained from the abstract). The project focuses more on the core part of the library and connects with other analytical and statistical components of PySAL, which makes it really interesting and therefore I’m super excited to work on it this summer.

Time for me to take the leave. I hope this situation gets over as soon as possible… till then goodbye, lock yourself at home and stay safe, more importantly, wait for my next blog which will be related to my initial work on the project.
