## Triage

* [PRs and issues labelled with "Triage-Review"](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/labels/Triage-review) (please add)
* [PRs and issues labeled with "needs decision"](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/labels/54%20-%20Needs%20decision) (46 open)

* [Open PRs - 198](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pulls) Let's maintain below 200

## Follow up from previous meetings

* Scripted responses: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Scripted-responses
(more examples are added)
- More will be added
- Maybe not use wiki (since we may want to retire most or all of it)

* [name=inessa pawson]: ENH: decoupled the codes to use all cache buckets and optimized *zeros* for small chunks of memory: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/8777

## New topics

* A Project/dashboard to keep track of old(er) open PRs: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/projects/16
- Currently for inactive PRs (PRs older than 1 year).
- Lets clean those up a bit, then consider adding new PRs as well.

* [name=seberg] NumPy 1.23 release: `max_row` change to loadtxt? https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/21852
- Sebastian will send out a mail to the list
- workaround: https://numpy.org/doc/1.23/release/1.23.0-notes.html#np-loadtxt-has-recieved-several-changes

* [name=inessa] ENH: Reverse param in ordering functions: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14989
Needs decision.
Key comments:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14989#issuecomment-558999381
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14989#issuecomment-735515185

* [name=inessa] ENH: Reverse parameter in np.sort(): https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/14728
Needs decision.
- `reverse` matches `sorted`, but array-api seems to [use `descending=`](https://data-apis.org/array-api/latest/API_specification/generated/signatures.sorting_functions.sort.html)
- It should be done "properly" unfortunately.
- PR can be closed on those grounds, however.

* [name=inessa] ENH: AVX implementation with intrinsic for small_correlate: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14497 – close?
- Considering its stalled and doesn't fit into the current framework, close? (Agree with mattis comment.)
- Close after meeting

* ENH: Add new numpy.ma.* aliases:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/17480

* ENH: push histogram calculations to compiled_base: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/9910

* next NumPy Newcomers’ Hour – Thursday, June 30th, 2022 at 4 pm UTC
Speaker: Ryan C. Cooper
Topic: NumPy in the classroom

* in-person NumPy sprint at SciPy'22: July 16-17th
If you are attending the conference, please join us.
