In the past decade, the Open Source Model for software development has gained popularity and has had many major achievements: emacs, Linux, the Gimp, and Python, to name a few. The basic idea is to provide the source code of the model or application, a tutorial on its use, and a feedback mechanism with the community so that the model can be tested, improved, and archived. Given the success of the Open Source Model, it may prove valuable in the development of scientific research codes. With this in mind, we are “open sourcing” the SAMI2 low‐ to mid‐latitude ionospheric model that was recently developed at the Naval Research Laboratory.
