For the second time, the project is in a position to use its project funds to pay for a full year of maintainer time through the NumPy Fellowship Program. + +Joren has been the driving force behind the improvements in NumPy's support for static typing since he started contributing in mid-2024. He has authored a lot of the improvements — from the annotations themselves to CI support and working towards fundamental design improvements like ndarray shape typing — and helps guide and integrate the work of other NumPy contributors in this area, and engages with upstream projects like MyPy and Pyright and the typing standards/PEP process to help move static typing support for the ecosystem as a whole forward. He also contributes widely to static typing support in the ecosystem, as the author of `scipy-stubs`, `numtype` and more. + +The NumPy Steering Council sees Joren’s appointment to this role as both recognition of his contributions and expertise as well as an opportunity to continue improving NumPy’s static typing support — an area that few maintainers are knowledgeable about but a significant fraction of end users tends to care about a lot. + +Joren's role is for the calendar year 2025. Thanks to individual and corporate donations, as well as payments from Tidelift, NumPy has been able to fund another full-time position for one year, following the first such role held by Sayed Adel in 2023. The funds are still [transparently administered](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0048-spending-project-funds.html) on Open Collective. + +Welcome aboard, Joren! We're excited to see the impact of your work.
