Screenshot from the SunPy blog post, reading: pyOpenSci is a “diverse community of people interested in building a community of practice around scientific software written in Python”. They are an exciting community working on improving the information around the packaging and tooling used by the scientific Python community as well to provide support for package maintainers. There is a review process to become a pyOpenSci accepted package which comes with two reviews from independent members of the wider community. With this in mind, the SunPy Project decided to submit the sunpy package to pyOpenSci to ensure that it is aligned with the community that pyOpenSci is building, and increase visibility of SunPy.
