SunPy Project
=============

The **SunPy project** is the organization which maintains the SunPy library and sponsored affiliated packages.
The **SunPy Project** is the organization which maintains the SunPy library and sponsored affiliated packages.
Its primary goal is to *facilitate and promote the use and development of a community-led, free and open-source solar data-analysis software based on the scientific Python environment*.

The organization is described in `SEP-2`_, and consists of a board of directors, a lead developer appointed by the board, community roles and the sunpy and affiliated package developers.
Anyone is welcome to participate in the SunPy organization.
The purpose of the board is to lead the overall structure and direction of SunPy while the lead developer works with the developer community to implement it. The SunPy Board publicly posts the `minutes`_ from each board meeting.
The organization is described in `SEP-2`_, and consists of the Project Custodians, a Steering Committee appointed by the Project Custodians, an advisory board, with community roles supported by developers who contribute to any package under the organization.

**Everyone is encouraged to participate in the SunPy Project.**

The goal of the Steering Committee is to lead the overall structure and direction of the SunPy Project while the lead developer works with the developer community to implement it.
The Advisory Board publicly posts the `minutes`_ from each of their meetings.

.. _minutes: https://github.com/sunpy/sunpy/wiki/Home%3A-Organization-Information

The project governance was significantly updated on 16-May-2024 via a heavily changed `SEP-2`_.
This page will be updated as those changes are implemented.

People

In this section we list everyone with a specific role in the project, all the members of the development community are too numerous to list here.
A list of anyone who contributed code to SunPy is available on Github `contributors`_ and for each major release we keep track of who contributed in-between `releases`_.
