|
5 | | -With an extensive and high-quality ecosystem of libraries, scientific Python |
6 | | -has emerged as the leading platform for data analysis. |
7 | | -This ecosystem is sustained by independent volunteers with separate mailing |
8 | | -lists, websites, roadmaps, documentation, engineering and packaging solutions, |
9 | | -and governance structures. |
| 5 | +The Scientific Python ecosystem is a loose federation of community |
| 6 | +developed and owned Python projects widely used in scientific research, technical |
| 7 | +computing, and data science. |
| 8 | +This website is part of the Scientific Python project, which aims to better |
| 9 | +coordinate the ecosystem and grow the community. |

|
11 | | -This project aims to better coordinate the ecosystem and prepare scientific Python |
12 | | -for the next decade of data science. |

14 | | -# People |
| 13 | +Healthy communities are built when everyone's voice is heard, |
| 14 | +when their perspective is valued, and when their work is recognized. |
| 15 | +Better technical and social solutions can be found through wide participation. |
| 16 | +We are therefore dedicated to expanding our community in a welcoming and inclusive way, |
| 17 | +with particular focus on increased participation by people who identify with groups that are |
| 18 | +underrepresented in STEM and the open source scientific Python community. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Community members must adhere to our [code of conduct]({{< relref "/code_of_conduct.md" >}}). |
