<h1 id="astropy-credits">Astropy Credits<a class="paralink" href="#astropy-credits" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The Astropy Project is made possible through the hard work of hundreds of
people in the community. Contributions take many forms, from participating
in online forums, being an Astropy sub-committee member, giving talks,
writing tutorials and documentation, writing code, making releases,
organizing conferences, and much much more.</p>
<p>In this page we specially recognize the people and organizations that
have made significant contributions to the Astropy project. This comes in
the form of <a href="#lifetime-credits">lifetime contributors</a> and <a
href="#institutional-support">institutional support</a> that provides both
direct and indirect funding for Astropy.
</p>

the development of algorithm improvements in the Time class to ensure
accuracy at the level needed for pulsar timing, and he played an important
role in making the Table class versatile.
<h3 id="matt-craig">Matt Craig</h3>
Since becoming involved in the project in fall 2013, Matt co-led the
development of ccdproc, the coordinated package for optical/IR image data
reduction and served as lead for the NDData subpackage. He also served
on multiple Python in Astronomy organizing committees, helped with a couple
of coordination meetings, and worked hard to make sure the astropy ecosystem
of packages is available on major platforms to improve accessibility.
<h3 id="michael-droettboom">Michael Droettboom</h3>
