Community Impact Report

Letter from Executive Director

Leah Silen

Leah Silen

What does a community need to grow and thrive? To support both the collective and the individual? To be close-knit yet inclusive and expansive? These are the questions our work seeks to answer. As we approach a decade of service to open source scientific computing projects, I’m proud to report on all we’ve accomplished and everything we aim to achieve.

The theme of community impact has been a through line of our mission since 2012. NumFOCUS was founded to address the need of a critical mass of projects for a more formal support structure and to help organize this fervent community. Grass roots cannot take hold without the proper groundwork: the very support structures NumFOCUS provides to the world of open science.

Our direct support for projects, conferences, gatherings, and educational opportunities has had a discernible impact on the open source scientific community, as this report shows. Yet, as we approach our 10th anniversary, we have identified strategic areas of focus to guide our decision making and objectives: increasing engagement with stakeholders, improving organizational infrastructure to handle growth, and making the delivery and execution of project services more efficient.

These efforts have already yielded results. This year we chartered additional community-led committees to select new Affiliated Projects, awarded Small Development Grants, and initiated a Project Incubation Program. You can learn more about that in our Community Leadership section.

The accomplishments of any open source project come from the time, talent, and zeal of individuals, many of which are volunteers. They make their contributions on top of carrying the load of full-time jobs, often sacrificing their personal time to contribute to tools that others are or will depend on across all domains of science, research, and industry. We cannot honor each of those many thousands of volunteers here, but we must always keep the needs of these individuals in mind. Our project support is ultimately all about sustaining their efforts.

Ten years in and the greater NumFOCUS community is hundreds of thousands strong. It has shown resilience in the face of a global pandemic and never once receded from its mission. At our core is a dedicated staff, a committed board, a highly-engaged advisory board, and many community partners and collaborators. This 2021 Community Impact Report is a testament to what they have built. I invite you to read on, to share in our community’s enthusiasm, and get involved in any way you can.

Sincerely,
Leah Silen, Executive Director

As a data professional, I use the PyData stack almost on a daily basis. As an entrepreneur and lecturer, I want to make a small contribution to the maintenance of the creative commons that is so crucial for democratizing data science.

Community Leadership

Want to chip in as a volunteer?
Find out how

Our mission relies on the cooperation of enthusiastic volunteers, project contributors, fundraisers, and donors. You can’t move a mountain alone. But stone by stone, person to person, we can cut new paths to discovery.

This year our NumFOCUS community-led committees were taken to the next level through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. The positive impact of these community leaders on our mission can be seen in the five committees below.

Affiliated Project Selection Committee (APSC)
Affiliated Project Selection Committee (APSC)

In April, we formed the inaugural Affiliated Project Selection Committee to increase community input and involvement in the Affiliated Project selection process.

The Committee works with NumFOCUS staff and the Board of Directors to facilitate the selection of new Affiliated Projects during four application cycles. General responsibilities of the committee include:

  • running the selection process
  • proposing changes to the application and selection criteria to the Board of Directors
  • guiding prospective projects on the application process
  • recommending projects as candidates for the NumFOCUS Incubator program

To learn more about the committee’s role and responsibilities please see the committee charter.

DISC Committee
DISC Committee

A new charter for the Diversity & Inclusion in Scientific Computing (DISC) Committee brings the five-year-old committee in line with other community-led NumFOCUS groups. The charter was drafted following a period of reflection from past members and input from current stakeholders before approval by the Board of Directors in December.

The updates ensure the Committee has the structure in place to continue its work to broaden the participation and inclusion of underrepresented groups in the NumFOCUS ecosystem. For more information view the Charter and watch for updates as it ramps up in 2022.

Project Incubator Committee
Project Incubator Committee

Chartered at the end of 2021, and launching in early 2022, this committee will provide support to open source scientific projects to grow, build a community, and attract new contributors. At the end of each incubation period, projects will have the tools they need to either continue working towards meeting the Affiliated project requirements or directly apply for that status.

See the committee’s charter to learn more.

Small Development Grants Committee
Small Development Grants Committee

This committee is made up of community members who care about the health and sustainability of NumFOCUS projects and who ensure that funding decisions are unbiased and equitable.

As our Small Development Grants program has grown over the years, from just over $15k in 2017 to $170K in 2021, it has taken more dedicated time to review proposals and distribute funding. Without the committee’s help, it would be difficult to manage this expanding program.

Impact Scholarships

250

The Impact Scholarship Program was initiated for the first time at PyData Global 2021. The aim is to foster diversity within our community while supporting inclusion and creating a sense of belonging to anyone identifying as part of an underrepresented group in open source or tech environments. These groups include African Americans/Blacks, Hispanics/Latino(a)s, Native Americans/Alaskan Natives, women, LGBTQ+, and people who are blind or deaf.

53

Over 250 applications from 53 countries were received within a very short time span. In total, 120 people were accepted into the program. Participants came from varied backgrounds and, through their applications, demonstrated leadership, community support, a willingness to make a difference, be a role model for others, and contribute to a more diverse and inclusive tech world.

120

The program provides networking opportunities to those who are interested in further developing their career and professional impact. Impact Scholars had access to the PyData Global Conference talks, tutorials, and sprints as well as workshops designed to help them increase their visibility and influence.

The Impact Program was hosted by Oyidiya Oji

Mentors

“As a speaker you never know what to expect from your audience as you present your talk. I was so moved by the feedback and responses to my talk on why it’s important to build inclusive organizations. I look forward to participating next year and would definitely recommend the conference to anyone looking to learn and connect with other like minded professionals in tech.”

- Kave Bulambo, Lead Organiser — BlackInTech — Berlin & WomenInData

“It was a delight answering questions during the panel discussion. The group of impact scholars was surprisingly large, considering the time, and very engaged. We talked about getting into open source and data science and where we see the potential for personal development and career growth, especially for people from traditionally underrepresented groups. Overall, a great experience and I recommend anyone who gets the chance to participate on either side in this program to interact with these highly motivated individuals.”

- Jesper Sören Dramsch

“Participating in PyData Global 2021 as a speaker and panelist was such a great experience. As a non-native English speaker, I had to overcome a lack of confidence in my communication and technical skills to engage with the open source community fully. I hope sharing my experience inspires others to do the same.”

- Eduardo Blancas Reyes

- Blessing Eseosa Osarumwense

“It was a great program where we get to meet experienced candidates from different backgrounds. The best part of the Impact Program was that they made sessions available for people at all experience levels i.e. beginner to expert. I enjoyed being a part of data science sessions and sprints. Got to meet amazing fellow scholars and learn a lot from their insights.”

- Aliya Rahmani

“Impact Scholars provided the proper awareness, and learning opportunities for people enthusiastic about Python and eager to contribute to its bustling open source community. The sessions on Personal Branding, Self Promotion Skills, Emotional Intelligence, and AI Ethics were highly insightful, relatable and sticky. Despite the virtual environment, the facilitators and speakers created an approachable and conducive atmosphere for discussions. I appreciated the punctuality of sessions, it really enhanced the program experience. All in all, the program delivered what it promised and that too online, which by itself is an outstanding achievement.”

A Community for All Is
Better for Everyone

Project-Focused DEI

The values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are inherent to the principles behind open source scientific computing. A bigger, more inclusive community that shares ideas, methods, and code can make a profound impact on the world. There is a lot of work to be done in leveling the field of opportunity. These initiatives are how we’re chipping away at any barriers that stand in the way of a more diverse, equal, and inclusive community.
