OpenAstronomy is a collaboration between open source astronomy and astrophysics
projects to share resources, ideas, and to improve code.

## Principles of OpenAstronomy

The core principles of OpenAstronomy (OA) include:

1. Open Source: OA projects are committed to their software being Open Source. This promotes accessibility, reliability, and scientific reproducibility.
2. Open Development: OA projects support the principle of "open development"[1], a model where the software is both *by* and *for* the community.  More concretely, these projects try to work in publicly-visible spaces, encouraging discussion and participation from their public user community on both code and project-level decisions.

3. Open Science: OA projects support open and accessible data and reproducible science both through good data management practices and effective open software.
