Over the past four years, @NickleDave has built the pyOpenSci Editor-in-Chief role from the ground-up, and overseen the publication of a multitude of open source, open science Python packages. Volunteers are the beating heart of pyOpenSci, and we’ve been absolutely blessed to have David involved over the past four years.

And while David is stepping down from the role of Editor-in-Chief, we’re looking forward to his continued contributions to pyOpenSci and the broader Python community :purple_heart:

Thank you, David! David Nicholson pyOpenSci Editor-in-Chief Thank you for four amazing years! David first joined the pyOpenSci community in 2019, when he attended our first Birds of a Feather event at SciPy in Austin, TX. He quickly became an advocate for our mission and everything we do. David shaped the Editor-in-Chief role into what it is today, acting informally as EiC any time a new package came in. When pyOS received funding in 2022, David officially moved into the EiC position. David is always keen to help packages update their infrastructure, and has brought a tremendous amount of kindness and patience to the role, making the world of open source software that much better. David cares deeply about Python, open source, and open science, and has been involved at all levels, from publishing crowsetta to leading the vocalpy community. And if you want to know more about how animals communicate with sound, David’s the perfect person to ask! pyOpenSci wouldn't be what it is without David’s efforts. From providing feedback on our early peer review process to assisting with our packaging guidebook to shaping the EiC role, we are so thankful for everything he's done!

It really means a lot to me for you all to share this!
What a privilege it’s been to play a small part in helping pyOpenSci take off.
Now we can help our garden grow :pyos_animated: and cultivate it too :shower: :sun_with_face: .

Thank you @lwasser for everything I am learning from you.
And thank you @Jesse for everything you’re doing, including this amazing graphic!

I know I’m leaving things in good hands with @isabelizimm. Love that @Batalex @cmarmo and @SimonMolinsky have already signed up for EiC slots too. So great to be part of the community with you all. I have a feeling we will have a lot of good ideas for how we can make this role even better after the first round of rotations!
