The PyMC Team is working towards the v4 release !
Next week (May 30 - June 5), we will be holding a (virtual) developer sprint/hackathon to try and finish off the last several issues associated with the 4.0 milestone. Preliminary details can be found here and additional dates will be posted to the Meetup group.
As outlined in the Meetup event, this event is open to experienced community members. Given the time-sensitive nature of the agenda, it will be helpful if folks to already be familiar with PyMC, setting up virtual environments, git and github workflows, and general familiarity with contributing to open source projects (PyMC or otherwise).
For new/beginner contributors, we are currently in the middle of planning an upcoming series of open source working sessions likely occurring later this year. If that sounds more appealing to you, we would encourage you to join our Meetup groupso that you stay informed about this and other future events.
