We are excited to announce that Project Pythia has been accepted as a NumFOCUS Affiliated Project! This recognition marks an important milestone for our community and reflects Project Pythia’s growing impact as an open, community-driven resource for geoscience education and scientific Python.
Becoming a NumFOCUS Affiliated Project recognizes Project Pythia’s commitment to open science, community governance, and scientific computing. NumFOCUS affiliation provides opportunities to engage with a broader network of open-source scientific projects, participate in community initiatives, apply for selected funding opportunities such as Small Development Grants and Google Summer of Code, and increase the visibility of Project Pythia and its contributors within the scientific Python ecosystem. Affiliated projects remain independently governed while benefiting from the collaboration and support of the broader NumFOCUS community.
This achievement is a testament to the incredible work of our contributors, maintainers, instructors, and community members who have helped Project Pythia grow into a trusted resource for geoscientists around the world. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed tutorials, reviewed content, organized events, mentored new contributors, or participated in our community.
As we look ahead, we are excited to strengthen our connections across the scientific Python ecosystem and continue expanding access to high-quality, open educational resources for Earth system science. We look forward to collaborating with the many outstanding projects in the NumFOCUS community and continuing to build an inclusive, sustainable future for geoscience education.
