# Affiliated packages

We take the good concept of an Affiliated package from the Astropy project. An affiliated package is a Python package that is not part of the scikit-hep core package but is related to, and seen as part of, the Scikit-HEP project and community.

Affiliated packages are being identified and the community is most welcome to get in touch.

## List of affiliated packages

- uproot: minimalist ROOT I/O in pure Python and Numpy.
