2nd INCF Congress of Neuroinformatics

The 2nd INCF Congress of Neuroinformatics will take place in Pilsen, Czech Republic, from September 6th-8th 2009.

Last year's meeting in Stockholm was excellent - check out the videos of the keynote talks.

The deadline for abstract submission is April 17th.

When will NumPy and SciPy move to Python 3.0?

Python 2.6 by March 2009

Python 3.0 by mid-to-late 2010?

Once Numpy and Scipy hit 3.0, we can port NeuroTools: this shouldn't be a very difficult task, since NeuroTools is pure Python, with no C-extensions. Porting PyNN depends on the simulator backends - NEURON, NEST, PCSIM, Brian - being ported, but again, PyNN itself should be a straightforward task.
