The Eternal Sunshine of Open-Science

This talk is about the Open-Science efforts and will go over SunPy, package, a powerful library for solar data analysis. The talk will start by introducing the SunPy project as a whole, situating it within the broader 'Python in Astronomy' ecosystem with showcasing live demonstrations of acquiring and visualizing solar data. Then I'll explore how different kinds of Scientific-Software can look like and then we'll explore what Open-Science is, how it fits into the scientific research and then look at the SunPy project as a case study to emphasise the importance of FOSS in advancing scientific research. I'll end with providing ways for the audience to get involved.

1. The audience will have a better idea of just how diverse python's use-cases are. The research-inclined members would learn about how Python can be used in Space research.

2. What the open-science movement is about and why it matters.

3. How FOSS drives open-science via free, transparent, and collaborative tools and frameworks for community collaboration.

4. Awareness of challenges faced Open-Science & Open-Source and a state of the recent initiatives to address them.

5. Why the open-science movement needs both researchers and developers to thrive and how the two groups can get involved and contribute.
