The First Astropy User Survey Is Now Open

The Astropy Project is running its first user survey! With over 50,000 users, 280,000 lines of code written by more than 450 contributors, and over 13,000 unique citations across its three papers, the Astropy Collaboration is made possible by hundreds of volunteer contributors worldwide. We are now running our first user survey to better understand how Astropy and its ecosystem of scientific software is being used, how it can be improved, and how we can best continue to support the astronomy and scientific research communities. Please take 15 minutes to give your input before 1 April and help us shape the future of astropy.

ABOUT THE ASTROPY PROJECT

The Astropy Project is a community effort to develop a free and open-source core software package for astronomy using the Python programming language, as well as to foster interoperability between other Python astronomy packages. The extensive Astropy code library and affiliated packages provide a unified set of tools for astronomers to undertake tasks critical for research, such as coordinate transformations, reading and writing astronomical files, manipulating quantities with units attached, and modeling and visualizing data.
