Scientific Python awarded CZI grant to improve communications infrastructure & accessibility
We are delighted to announce a two-year grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) in support of the Scientific Python project. This grant will support work on common web themes, joint infrastructure and practices, accessibility, and interactivity of core library documentation. We are particularly excited that, through this work, we may expand global participation of scientific communities in using and contributing to Python tools. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first time that a scientific open source community has received significant support for accessibility and internationalization efforts.

The Scientific Python blog has just gotten a little more accessible! If you didn’t catch our invite on Twitter or run into the problem firsthand, there’s a good chance you might not have noticed the new descriptions for a number of blog post images. Since it’s not a flashy improvement, we wanted to make a point to highlight the community effort to to make a more accessible blog–and internet as a whole–last week.
