I'm honored to be named a Python Software Foundation Fellow! 🐍 This reflects work I started in 2018 with @pyopensci.org —building inclusive pathways for scientists in open source. None of it happens alone. Thank you to 300+ contributors & the broader Python community. #python #opensource #science

pyOpenSci has a unique, values-driven process in how we select tools that we use in our #openeducation resources, packaging guides and trainings. This process includes bridging diffierent communities that both develop maintain and use these tools. Learn more.

Pure python packaging feels overwhelming because there are so many tools. But in reality a pure #Python package only needs 3 things (ok 4 - it needs code too to actually run) 🙃 What have been your biggest challenges when trying to package your code? #opensource #openscience #openeducation

I used to write pages of r scripts to process messy ecological data. Then I learned to package them so others could use and reuse my work! At my first NEON bootcamp, 40+ researchers processed complex data in single lines instead of pages of code. #openscience means more time for discovery. #python

As a researcher, I learned 2 code the hard way on my own. I wrote messy MATLAB scripts that worked on my computer 😅. No training, just curiosity. I founded @pyopensci.org so people like my former self don't have to struggle alone building #OpenScience workflows. Community matters. Especially now. 💛

🚨 Early bird extended! 🚨 Join our From Zero to Python Package workshop, Nov 6. Decode the packaging ecosystem: Hatch, PyPI, Uvicorn — and more. Build your package step-by-step. Scholarships available 💛 🔗 bit.ly/pyos-packaging-2025 #OpenScience #Python

So much brilliant work never makes it into a paper. The code, the data, the long nights helping others debug. At pyOpenSci, we believe that code, data, and community are the pulse. Research advances quickly when we build together & openly. Join us. 💛 bit.ly/pyos-volunteer #openscience #opensource

Your #opensource project’s most valuable contributors might never touch code. I’ve maintained All Contributors Bot for 2 months w/o a line of code—triaging issues, fixing CI, organizing work. That work keeps projects alive. What non-code contributions have you made? #science #openscience

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

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!
