About SciTools
</h2>
<h3 class="mbr-section-subtitle align-center mbr-light mbr-fonts-style display-5">
SciTools is a collaborative effort to produce powerful Python-based
open-source tools for Earth scientists.

<p>
Initially started at the
<a href="https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/">Met Office</a>,
SciTools has grown into a diverse community of partners
and collaborators from around the world.
SciTools is responsible for the maintenance of a number of key
packages such as Iris and Cartopy, and continues to develop new
and innovative tools for the Earth scientist's toolkit.
</p>
<p>
The Met Office remains a driving force behind SciTools; however,
all the packages are fundamentally developed in the open.
The direction of SciTools is decided by the community of developers,
who are always eager for more people from different areas to contribute
towards Iris, Cartopy and the wider SciTools ecosystem.

Collaboration
</h3>
<h3 class="mbr-section-subtitle align-center mbr-light mbr-fonts-style display-5">
Iris and Cartopy are free and open source projects, published under
the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html">LGPLv3</a> licence.
Both libraries work extensively with third party free and open
source libraries.

<ul>
<li>
<b>Developing alongside SciTools</b> -
Developers are encouraged to use the capabilities of SciTools to
build libraries and functionality of their own.
Projects depending on SciTools packages are encouraged to engage
with the development process through the
<a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/scitools-iris">Community Forums</a>
and the <a href="http://github.com/scitools">SciTools GitHub organisation</a>.
It is hoped that this will lead to developers
contributing code to SciTools.
</li>
<li>
<b>Publishing Code</b> -
For any potential collaborative
development activity it is important that the code base is available
to collaborators and licensed to enable collaboration.
Publishing code as it is being developed is an excellent way to work
with development communities working in similar spaces.
It will benefit SciTools development and the development of libraries
dependent on SciTools if the code is published and available for
developers to investigate and provide feedback on.
Publishing on a site such as
<a href="http://github.com/scitools">GitHub</a>, the SciTools contributors
approach and <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html">LGPLv3</a>
license present one way of managing this.
It is the responsibility of a publisher to manage these
matters as they see fit, considering license conditions, access rights and
the implications for their project. Such public projects, dependent on
SciTools modules, are likely to provide a rich seam of ideas and approaches,
leading to developments in SciTools modules which can be adopted and shared
across the community.
</li>
<li>
<b>Contributing to SciTools</b> -
Contributions to the SciTools open source libraries are encouraged: the pages on
<a href="organisation.html#governance">governance</a> and the
developer's guide provide information on what is involved in
SciTools collaborative development.
Small scale contributions fit well with this model, such as bug fixes and
new feature implementations to current modules. Larger scale
development activities may require different approaches, as it
may take significant design and implementation effort before it
is clear how integration may occur.
It may prove useful to publish such code independently of SciTools and
then investigate integration over time.
</li>
<li>
<b>Adoption of Code</b> -
Adoption of code into SciTools packages will follow governance
guidelines and then refer to our developer's guide procedures.
In most cases discussions via GitHub issues and the developer
communities (Iris and Cartopy) will be required, to detail
scope, interfaces and design considerations. Providing code
which can be developed collaboratively will enable more
detailed and focussed discussions of the relevant issues
facilitating code adoption.

<li><b>Users</b> - Users download and use Iris

created and developed. We want to know what problems they
experience and ideas they have so that we can improve the

<b>Contributors</b> - Contributors are people who
contribute to the Iris and/or Cartopy project but do not have
sufficient privileges to merge a pull request.
Contributions can be made by providing bug fixes, adding new
code, reporting bugs, updating or writing new documentation and
gallery additions.
Become a Contributor with any of the tasks described above.
Please note that merging of source code contributions is at the
discretion of the Developers and follows an iterative dialogue.
We will also need a completed
<a href="https://scitools.org.uk/cla/v4/form">Contributor's Licence Agreement
(CLA)</a>.
We will be following the 'review-then-commit' process of merging
contributions into the project. After nomination by
the developers to the steering council, major and effective
contributors to the project will be invited to become a
developer.
</li>
<li><strong>Developers</strong> - It is the Development team's
responsibility to ensure the quality of the source code and
documentation remains high and that the integrity of the project
is preserved. To achieve this, the Development team will:
Review and merge Contributors bug fixes, new code and/or
documentation from submitted pull requests into the master. Ensure
that everyone who wishes to contribute has submitted a CLA. Define
coding and testing standards. Define development
methodologies.
</li>
<li><strong>Owners</strong> - Owners are responsible for the
repository and for granting privileges.</li>
<li><strong>Steering council</strong> - The steering council is
made up of a small group of long-term SciTools developers.
The council are responsible for providing high-level steer
and scope for the SciTools organisation. It is also able to
arbitrate decisions for the wider SciTools developer community via
a simple steering council majority. The steering council
members are: Andrew Dawson (@ajdawson), Bill Little
(@bjlittle), Philip Elson (@pelson)</li>
<li><strong>Support</strong>- Support is offered on a best
endeavour only and is provided as time and resources allow. That
said support is an important activity for the Developers as it
provides an opportunity to work closely with people using Iris, Cartopy and other SciTools packages. It
is from these events that real value is generated that can be
brought back into the project. Available support channels for the
project can be found at Iris Community Page and on the Cartopy
Home page 'Getting Involved' section.</li>
