Core Team

The Core Team is governing scverse and is deeply involved in developing and maintaining scverse packages.

Management Committee

The Management Committee is committed to supporting scverse and is directly involved in investing in its progress.

Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee helps to shape the overall vision for scverse and to define its priorities.

Community

Everyone who uses scverse software is part of the community! There are multiple ways to engage with its other members. For a start, join us on our Zulip chat, our Discourse forum, and keep an eye on our X (Twitter) and Bluesky accounts for the events we organise.

Honorary Members

Former core team members who made essential contributions to scverse.

Contributors

All this work makes sense only in the context of the larger community of contributors and users of scverse projects. Open-source scverse projects are open to contributions, and over 150 people have contributed to scverse packages.
