It has provided funding for Fabian Pedregosa (2010-2012), Jaques Grobler (2012-2013) and Olivier Grisel (2013-2015) to work on this project full-time. It also hosts coding sprints and other events. .. image:: images/inria-logo.jpg :align: center `Paris-Saclay Center for Data Science `_ funded one year for a developer to work on the project full-time (2014-2015). .. image:: images/cds-logo.png :align: center The following students were sponsored by `Google `_ to work on scikit-learn through the `Google Summer of Code `_ program. - 2007 - David Cournapeau - 2011 - `Vlad Niculae`_ - 2012 - `Vlad Niculae`_, Immanuel Bayer. - 2013 - `Kemal Eren`_, Nicolas Trésegnie - 2014 - Hamzeh Alsalhi, Issam Laradji, Maheshakya Wijewardena, Manoj Kumar. It also provided funding for sprints and events around scikit-learn. If you would like to participate in the next Google Summer of code program, please see `this page `_ The `NeuroDebian `_ project providing `Debian `_ packaging and contributions is supported by `Dr. James V. Haxby `_ (`Dartmouth College `_). The `PSF `_ helped find and manage funding for our 2011 Granada sprint. More information can be found `here `__ `tinyclues `_ funded the 2011 international Granada sprint. Donating to the project ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in donating to the project or to one of our code-sprints, you can use the *Paypal* button below or the `NumFOCUS Donations Page `_ (if you use the latter, please indicate that you are donating for the scikit-learn project). All donations will be handled by `NumFOCUS `_, a non-profit-organization which is managed by a board of `Scipy community members `_. NumFOCUS's mission is to foster scientific computing software, in particular in Python. As a fiscal home of scikit-learn, it ensures that money is available when needed to keep the project funded and available while in compliance with tax regulations. The received donations for the scikit-learn project mostly will go towards covering travel-expenses for code sprints, as well as towards the organization budget of the project [#f1]_. .. raw :: html


.. rubric:: Notes .. [#f1] Regarding the organization budget in particular, we might use some of the donated funds to pay for other project expenses such as DNS, hosting or continuous integration services.
