Hi friends! 👋 pyOpenSci is pausing Peer Review Dec 22, 2025 – Jan 16, 2026. 💖 Reviews will resume after Jan 16, reflecting our values of care and balance. Take time for yourselves this holiday season! See you in 2026—exciting things ahead! 🥂 #OpenScience #community #opensource #python

we love options, but python packaging has too many. Packaging guru Jeremiah Paige wrote about our values-based rubric for selecting: 🌱 free & open 🤝 inclusive 📐 standards-compliant 💪 well-supported 🎯 opinionated (less paralysis!) www.pyopensci.org/blog/how-we-... #python #opensource #openscience

Community is so critical during times of political unrest. We value the members of the pyOpenSci community who work together to make scientific #opensource more accessible and inclusive and to help researchers and others navigating #python packaging and creating open reproducible workflows.

Your #Python package needs 3 things: ✅ src/packagename directory ✅ pyproject.toml file ✅ unique package name It does NOT need to: ❌ Solve everyone's problems ❌ Be on PyPI immediately If your code helps you, it might help others. Join our workshop for more: Nov 6 💛 bit.ly/pyos-packagi...

🚨 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

pyOpenSci has supported 50+ Python packages. Now you can learn the same packaging practices in our hands-on workshop with founder @leahawasser.bsky.social. 📅 Nov 6 | 10 AM MST 🎟️ Early bird rates + scholarships 🔗 bit.ly/PythonPackaging 🐍 Make your code easier to share, use & contribute to.
