Ryan May - Building MetPy for the Long Term | SciPy 2023

Building MetPy for the long term requires a focus on sustainability through infrastructure, code, and people; automation; and community engagement.

Key takeaways
  • Building MetPy for the long term requires a focus on sustainability, including project infrastructure, code, and people.
  • Having a diverse set of contributors and maintainers can help ensure the project’s long-term viability.
  • Automation is key to minimizing tedious tasks and freeing up time for more important work.
  • GitHub Actions can be used to automate testing, building, and deploying code, as well as creating release notes and uploading packages.
  • The importance of clear documentation and a well-documented release process cannot be overstated.
  • The MetPy project has been successful in leveraging GitHub’s automated release notes and CI testing.
  • The project also uses Dependabot to automatically update dependency files in Git.
  • Community calls and open dev calls can help foster a sense of community and encourage participation.
  • However, these calls can be challenging to organize and maintain, and may not always attract a large audience.
  • The project also uses GitHub Pages to host its documentation and website.
  • The project’s CI testing has helped to identify and fix issues early on, reducing the likelihood of bugs and other problems.
  • The project’s testing infrastructure is designed to be self-documenting, making it easier for new contributors to understand how to use it.
