Hi mattip: Thanks for writing a proposal. I don't have any experience in writing SciPy proposals, so I'm not sure what they expect. My idea to *make it more exciting* is to refer to recent related work started by CPython core devs.
<fangerer>
In particular, Mark's new C API or Victor's work or also the limited API. Then we could say that HPy is already a step further or something like this.

If I read the section about what a SciPy proposal should be (https://www.scipy2023.scipy.org/present), it says: "This outline should concisely describe software of interest to the SciPy community, tools or techniques for more effective computing ..."

I think the interesting part for the SciPy community would be that HPy takes care of the portability (concerning Python impls) and compatibility (concerning Python versions).

concerning EuroSciPy and EuroPython: Yes, I think it would make sense. Are you asking if one of us (= GraalPy team) would go there?
<mattip>
yes: are you planning on attending EuroSciPy or EuroPython?
<mattip>
thanks for the comments, I will try to tweak the proposal if I decide to go to SciPy in the USA
<fangerer>
no plans so far but I will discuss it with my manager; I think EuroPython would be a good target
<mattip>
fangerer: maybe PyConDe/PyData Berlin would be better than EuroPython?
<mattip>
it is a little more focused on our use cases
<fangerer>
👍
<fangerer>
oh, PyConDe/PyData is already in April
<mattip>
yes, and the CFP window is closed

EuroSciPy and SciPy are feel wildly different to me. SciPy would be super valuable to attend again probably because there will be NumPy and NumFOCUS people around who are important potential HPy users. I really enjoyed EuroSciPy -- it's very relaxed and with a pretty broad set of scientific users. EuroSciPy might be a great way just to tell a couple of hundred people who don't know about HPy what it is and how they can use it.
