pyOpenSci’s vision? 👀 A research ecosystem where the code behind the science is valued as much as the paper. Where collaboration is the norm, not the exception. Where open is the default. 💛

Have you ever inherited an #opensource project with limited docs? I am rebuilding the all-contributors bot and the accounts/workflows r undocumented. I'm becoming a PI in search of accounts 😅 Lesson learned: Create a DEVELOPMENT.md file from day one and add everything to it! #openscience

🐍 Want to publish your own Python package? Join pyOpenSci’s 2-hour online workshop Nov 6: ✔️ Build your first package fast ✔️ Learn the core files (pyproject.toml, docs, metadata) ✔️ Publish to PyPI with confidence 📅 Nov 6, 2025 | Online 🎟️ bit.ly/PythonPackaging

🚨 Call for editors! 🚨 We’ve got 3️⃣ new pyOpenSci packages ready for review: ✨ Phyleas (hardware security experiments) ✨ LSAPy (land suitability analysis w/ fuzzy logic) ✨ RSTT (sports simulation w/ probabilistic models) Your expertise could help make scientific software stronger & more reusable.

Open science orgs are stronger together 💪 @carpentries.carpentries.org, OLS, @ropensci.org, @pyopensci.org & @prereview.bsky.social are convening to move from surviving → thriving. Read how we’re charting a sustainable, collective path forward: www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyopens... #OpenScience #FOSS

Our upcoming #python packaging workshop will kick start your packaging journey. This beginner-friendly workshop will take you from 0 to python package in under 5 minutes. From there you will learn about customizing your package, and securely publishing it to PyPI #openscience #opensource

Did you know? 👀 Every pyOpenSci peer review is collaborative, not combative. Maintainers say that our process leaves their packages stronger, better documented, and more usable...not torn apart. Your code matters. And we’re here to help it shine! ✨ 👉 Learn more: www.pyopensci.org/software-pee...

Vaccines work. Period.

We are thrilled to be working with so many incredible leaders in our #openscience ecosystem. We are collectively thinking about how uniting as nonprofit organizations that care deeply about inclusive and open science can amplify our messages and reach more people.

I've used the all-contributors bot for years!! Both at @pyopensci and for stravalib, which I maintain. It's been so fun to help revive the project, learn new tools and get to know and build a new maintainer team 🚀 #opensource is really about people and community at the end of the day.

We are excited for this pure #python packaging workshop!! Our workshops are fun, and you will learn a lot about the packaging ecosystem. We offer scholarships for students and those who have been impacted by recent budget cuts and grant terminations as well. Please share!! #science #opensource

New collab! OpenSource@Stanford + pyOpenSci hosted their first event on software peer review. Zach Chandler, @mafrancesca.bsky.social & @leahawasser.bsky.social shared how review helps researchers grow skills, gain recognition & build sustainable Python software. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIE5...

@isabelizimm.bsky.social‬ has been such a guiding light in our @pyopensci peer review process. We are appreciative of her time spent with us as an editor and look forward to continuing to engage with her as a wonderful and knowledgeable community member.

At #SciPy2025, we asked: 💬 What are your biggest pain points around sharing and maintaining research software? Attendees answered thoughtfully, honestly, and hilariously (cats 😹). Here’s what we heard 👇 www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyopens... #OpenScience #Python #ResearchSoftware

📢 Eliot Robson is our new rotating Editor in Chief! 🎉 A past package submitter & reviewer, Eliot brings experience and a collaborative spirit to guiding pyOpenSci’s peer review process. 💛 👏 Join us in congratulating him! #OpenScience #Python #PeerReview #pyOpenSci

I am grateful for the work @tracykteal.bsky.social has put into @pyopensci.org over the past 3 years. It's also exciting to see how much we've grown as an organization. I can't wait to work with @kcranston.bsky.social and April moving forward #openscience #science #opensource #python

Traditional academic peer review can feel harsh. At pyOpenSci, our reviews are: 🤝 Collaborative 🛠️ Practical 💛 Centered on helping maintainers succeed Because your code matters and so does the experience of sharing it. 👉 Learn how to submit: www.pyopensci.org/software-pee...

This is a truly powerful report that overviews the profoundly dangerous impacts of GenAI not just on our workflows but also on our lives, our jobs and our livelihoods.

Still thinking about everyone who showed up for open science this month 💛 Contributed to pyOpenSci? We see you. Curious? We’ve got starter issues + docs to help you begin. ✨ You belong here. Your code matters. ✨ 📖 www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyopens... #pyOpenSci #OpenScience #Python

Thrilled to welcome Philip Narteh as pyOpenSci’s first open source infrastructure intern! 💛 Backed by @quansight.com Labs, Melissa Mendonça & Tania Allard, he’ll help migrate our site to Django—bringing accessibility expertise with him. 👋 Welcome, Philip! #OpenScience #Django #pyOpenSci

🚨 You don’t need to be a software engineer to contribute to scientific open source! pyOpenSci welcomes code, docs, ideas, reviews & encouragement 💛 There’s space for you here 🤝 🔗 www.pyopensci.org/python-packa... #OpenScience #pyOpenSci

Under Zeldin, EPA wants to stop regulating carbon from power plants - claiming emissions “don’t contribute significantly” to climate change. The rationale misinterprets science & law. The #EPA139 spoke out on this corruption. Support them here: zurl.co/UObOK zurl.co/BsVFt

mystmd 1.6 is out! Static exports should now work with hosting services like GitHub Pages, RTD, etc. Give it a try and let us know if you run into difficulties. github.com/jupyter-book... You can also now preview doc builds in PRs via CircleCI, following this template: github.com/stefanv/myst...

We had such a great time teaching #python packaging at @scipyconf.bsky.social this year.Our packaging tutorials Hatch to manage pure Python packaging and UV to make Hatch environments FAST. Make your first package in just a few minutes: www.pyopensci.org/python-packa...

‪We’re very excited about our July Deep Dive with Zach Chandler, Ma Francesca Vera and @leahawasser.bsky.social on the new initiative between the OpenSource@Stanford #OSPO at @stanforddata.bsky.social and @pyopensci.org. 📺https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6CZeINDAUc

Behind the scenes at #SciPy2025! ✨ Our Executive Director, @leahawasser.bsky.social, kicking off another great session! pyOpenSci makes open science approachable through packaging workshops, peer review & community events like this. Come say hi if you’re here! #OpenScience #Python #Community

Happening today in room 315 at 1:15pm after lunch #scipy2025 #python

TODAY - join us after lunch for a BoF commmunity session! Share your paint points with packaging #python code and software and also let's talk about how generative AI is impacting #opensource maintenance and what we can do about that! Your feedback will guide pyOpenSci's future work!

It's great educators r thinking deeply & CRITICALLY about students using gen AI & how it impacts learning. There is a lot of hype with AI being able to solve problems. However, AI can can hinder one of the most important education outcomes:: "learning how to learn". #scipy2025 #openscience

Did you know that UV will install your #python package in editable mode with just a few easy commands? 1. create environment: uv venv 2. Open a python prompt: uv run python And that's all you need! #packaging #opensource #scipy2025

It was a blast to get to chat with the CURIOUSS project the other day about connecting #openscience communities like @pyopensci.org with Universities and engaging students and researchers in the open software peer review process. #python #opensource

Pixi is a FAST #python package and environment manager it's built on top of #rust & uses #uv . It supports conda & also project work. also is more project oriented. We used it for a ML training with GPU enhanced processing! @matthewfeickert.com Ruben & John nailed teaching it. #openscience

I'm really excited to teach with the @pyopensci crew #python packaging today at #scipy2025 !! We have a shiny new template that makes the process of going from nothing to an installable package with tests and documentation easy.

Also, the UN Building is spectacular! The rooms are grand and colorful with translator spaces looking down and ear pieces to help everyone hear. The Economic and Social Council Chamber, or ECOSOC where we were for day 1, was a gift from Sweden!
