The SunPy Project is currently seeking nominations for the SunPy Advisory Board from the broader heliophysics community. The primary purpose of the Advisory Board is to promote the sustainability and longevity of the SunPy Project. The Advisory Board will carry out this mission by helping to find sustainable sources of funding for the Project, monitoring that the Project is being run consistent with the approved governance structure, and ensuring that the Project is meeting the needs of the wider solar physics scientific community. Members of the Advisory Board should be actively involved in the solar physics community in some way, for example, through research, teaching, software development, and/or policy but do not need to have an in-depth knowledge of any software package under the purview of the SunPy Project nor have explicitly contributed code to any such package. More details regarding the role of the Advisory Board are available in SunPy Proposal Enhancement (SEP) 002.
The expected time commitment for this position is approximately two hours per month and members are expected to meet with the SunPy Steering Committee at least once every quarter. To submit a nomination (self-nominations are encouraged!), please fill in this form before 15 August 2025: https://forms.gle/KPdj9bpeWrvovNJQA. Nominations from all career levels are encouraged. Selections will be made such that the Advisory Board represents a wide and varied cross-section of the scientific community.
