Hi @olebole — next step here is to go about setting up a contract. Could you let me know if you'd like that to be with you directly, or if we'll be making payments to some other entity or institution? Thanks!

[olebole]

I'd prefer to have a direct contract, as in the years before.

Hi @olebole — please could you fill in the registration form at https://numfocus.typeform.com/to/umyusM ? This is necessary even if you've registered previously. Please feel free to use “dummy” data for questions that don't apply to your situation, and ping me directly if you hit problems.

Hi @olebole — we're in the final stages of putting the contract together for this work. By default, we'll assume a start date of 2022-07-01 and an end date of 2023-12-31. If you have a reason to prefer other dates, please let me know.

@jdswinbank Thank you; that is find for me.

Hi Ole, thanks for the recent invoice. In the future, please submit the invoices to the NASA project and not the Moore project. https://opencollective.com/astropy/projects/astropy-nasa/expenses/new. We'll get this one transferred, but if there's another one, please use this link.

[olebole]

@kelle Sure, thank you for the reminder. I forgot to look up here when submitting, sorry.

As @astrofrog asked on slack: could I have an extension until 04/24 as well?
