tagline: Project Jupyter’s origins and governance
permalink: /about

intro:
  - Project Jupyter is a non-profit, open-source project, born out of the <a href="https://ipython.org">IPython Project</a> in 2014 as it evolved to support interactive data science and scientific computing across all programming languages. Jupyter will always be 100% open-source software, free for all to use and released under the liberal terms of the <a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause">modified BSD license</a>.
  - Jupyter is developed in the open on GitHub, through the consensus of the Jupyter community. For more information on our governance approach, please see our <a href="https://github.com/jupyter/governance/blob/master/governance.md">Governance Document</a>.
  - All online and in-person interactions and communications directly related to the project are covered by the <a href="https://github.com/jupyter/governance/blob/master/conduct/code_of_conduct.md">Jupyter Code of Conduct</a>. This Code of Conduct sets expectations to enable a diverse community of users and contributors to participate in the project with respect and safety.

  Project Jupyter <a href="https://jupyter.org/governance/distinguished_contributors.html">Distinguished Contributors</a> are recognized for their substantial contributions to Jupyter itself in both quality and quantity over at least two years.
