The SunPy project (also known as the SunPy organization) was founded and defined by this document. Its primary goal is to facilitate and promote the use and development of a community-led, free and open-source solar data-analysis software based on the scientific Python environment.
The organization of a board of directors, a lead developer appointed by the board, community roles and the sunpy and affiliated package developers. Anyone is welcome to participate in the SunPy organization. The purpose of the board is to lead the overall structure and direction of SunPy while the lead developer works with the developer community to implement it.
Members of the development community are too numerous to list here but a list of anyone who contributed code to SunPy is available on Github contributors and for each major release we keep track of who contributed in-between releases.

An affiliated package is a Python package related to Solar Physics that is not part of the SunPy core library, but can be included in the future as part of the SunPy project’s community.
As a community-driven project SunPy thus encourages contributions from a diverse group of people on building such software that has the potential to be a future Affiliated SunPy Package.
