About sktime

Open source AI for time series, by experts

sktime combines a broad community project with commercial implementation support, so teams can adopt time series machine learning with confidence.

The open-source project

A unified Python framework for time series machine learning.

  • Forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, and transformation
  • 500+ models behind one consistent API
  • Free and open under the permissive BSD-3-Clause license

The community

Built in the open, by people from research and industry.

  • Hundreds of contributors worldwide
  • Transparent issues, discussions, and releases
  • Mentoring and upskilling for every career stage

The enterprise team

Professional support when you take sktime to production.

  • Implementation and production integration
  • Dedicated support and training
  • A separate company that keeps the project open

Our mission

What sktime strives to be

  • A comprehensive, easy-to-use, easy-to-extend Python framework for ML and AI with time series.

  • Open source, permissively licensed, and free — openly governed by its community, with a charitable core.

  • A friendly, inclusive community, committed to fairness and equal opportunity.

  • A neutral platform for the ecosystem that mentors and upskills people at every career stage.

Governance

How sktime is governed

sktime is a consensus-based community project. Anyone with an interest can join, contribute, and take part in how it is run.

Clearly defined roles

  • Contributors
  • Algorithm maintainers
  • Core developers
  • Code of Conduct committee
  • Community Council

How decisions are made

  1. 01

    Propose in the open

    Decisions happen on public issues and pull requests.

  2. 02

    Consensus or vote

    We use lazy consensus with a veto right; otherwise we vote.

  3. 03

    Council resolves

    The Community Council settles anything left open.

Larger changes need a written Enhancement Proposal (STEP). This covers the open-source project; the wider GC.OS ecosystem is governed separately.

The people

Council, core developers, and enterprise team

Three groups keep sktime moving: the Community Council, the core developers, and the enterprise team.

Many of us wear more than one hat — tags below show where each person also contributes.
