Sessions
Over the last decade, we have seen innumerable advancements in the scientific community due to the shift toward collaborative, open science. We've learned, as a community, we must work together in order to build the next generation of scientific innovation. The history of the scientific computing ecosystem is intricately tied to its open source initiatives. One cannot succeed without the other. In this talk, we'll review how the NumFOCUS organization contributes to the support, sustainability, and diversity of a vibrant scientific open source community. We will walk you through where we've been, where we are going, and the lessons we've learned along the way.
