This ‘About Us’ is not about the Limited Liability Corporation known as Aviation Data Science. Instead, it is really out ‘You’. This is for the collective community that desire to contribute open source solutions on one of the most complex systems-of-systems that exist on planet Earth.
Aviation is such a complex domain that even individuals that spend their entire careers in this Industry are rarely exposed to but small portion of its awesome breadth. Thus, if you are a problem solver looking for places to solve problems that can positively impact society while honing your skills, this domain is for you!
Aviation Data Science (ADS), is a non-profit LLC with no paid officers or employees. You can consider ‘Us’ aviation enthusiast or whatever synonym one would like. This non-profit company is not about making money. Having said that, other groups may utilize products developed under the permissive licenses (e.g. MIT license) required when collaborating with ADS and use them for profit.
ADS provides a venue and mechanism for developers, analysts and other contributors to propose initial solutions that help advance the state-of-the-art in aviation while building consensus on foundational needs for application of modern data science techniques. By collaborating as part of this LLC, the company itself endeavors to provide support for its contributing members contributions, thereby allowing them peace of mind while they help the public.
