Joining us at #PyConUS? Come to our open space TODAY (Fri May 15)
3pm Room 202A — generative AI impacts on open source.
pyOpenSci is researching this actively and building frameworks for
more intentional AI use in scientific open source. We want your
experience and perspective to shape this work.
All backgrounds welcome. #Python #OpenSource #GenerativeAI #pyOpenSci

Build your skills developing better, #python software while also supporting scientific #opensource
Please share!
So much brilliant work never makes it into a paper.
Code, data, and late nights helping others debug are the invisible engines of science.
At pyOpenSci, we believe they are the pulse of research.
Build openly. Build together. If you believe research is more than papers, join us.
Volunteer, review, contribute — let’s make research more inclusive and impactful. 💛

What’s getting in the way of maintaining and sharing your research software? 👀
At #SciPy2025 pyOpenSci hosted a Birds of a Feather (BoF) to ask that very question, and the community showed up with insight, vulnerability, and solutions.
From confusing packaging tools to cultural barriers in academia, we break down the biggest pain points and what we’re doing next.
👉 https://www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyopensci-bof-community-scipy-2025.html
We held an incredibly informative community session this year at the SciPy meeting in Tacoma Washington. We asked the community what their open source Python pain points were. Learn more about what we learned in this interactive session.
🚨 You don’t have to be a software engineer to contribute to scientific open source!
At pyOpenSci, we believe good science needs good software, and that means contributions of all kinds:
🛠️ Code
📚 Docs
🧠 Ideas
🤝 Reviews
💛 Encouragement
Whether you’re a researcher, educator, or someone just curious about open source, we have space for you. 🤩
