SunPy version 0.7.7 has been released. This is a bugfix release. With this release, SunPy now works with Numpy 1.12.

SunPy is looking for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) students! SunPy participates in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) as part of the Open Astronomy organization (http://www.OpenAstronomy.org). GSoC pays students a stipend over the summer months to code for open-source projects. SunPy GSoC students have made many contributions to the SunPy codebase in previous years, and we look forward to working with new students this year. The closing deadline for student applications is April 3, 2017 16:00 UTC. Please see https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ for more details.

SunPy and the IRIS team have begun a collaboration to provide IRIS data analysis capabilities in Python. The collaboration is looking for people to aid in the effort. Please email iris_python@lmsal.com to find out more.

The SunPy Board met on March 13, 2017 to discuss board roles and board membership. Andrew Inglis volunteered to resign, and his resignation was accepted by the board. Thomas Robitaille rotated off the board as planned due to his term expiring. Two new members were voted on to the board, Sabrina Savage (Marshall Spaceflight Center) and Monica Bobra (Stanford University). The minutes of the board meeting can be found at https://github.com/sunpy/sunpy/wiki/Minutes-of-SunPy-Board-Meeting-03-13-17.
