[code-quality] PyCQA News

[Ian Cordasco]

Hey all,

It's been a while since we talked about new things happening in the
PyCQA. We have new projects and a couple other tiny announcements.


New projects!
=============

We've added pyflakes and flake8-import-order to our tiny group of
folks and of course we're still open to other projects. There is
discussion on the Jedi issue tracker
(https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/630) about moving a
project that can provide a unified AST to various projects (including
some PyCQA projects) into the organization as well.


OpenHUB Organization!
=====================

We now have an organization on OpenHub: https://www.openhub.net/orgs/PyCQA

This means that projects and developers can show their affiliation
with the organization. Doing so is *not* mandatory but I thought it
might be fun for some people, plus we're part of a fairly small group
of people testing this feature for OpenHUB.


pycqa.org
=========

A little while back I registered the domain and started using
sub-domains for documentation, e.g.,

pydocstyle.pycqa.org
flake8.pycqa.org

etc.

If you have a project in the PyCQA and would like one of those
sub-domains for your docs, let me know. They're *very* easy to set-up
with ReadTheDocs.


New Logo!
=========

You might have noticed on our OpenHUB organization or on our GitLab
and GitHub organizations, but if you didn't we have a Logo!

Glynnis Ritchie made our logo for us and collaborated with the rest of
us over on https://github.com/PyCQA/meta/issues/1


Gitter.im
=========

We already have (and some of us use) ##python-code-quality on
Freenode's IRC servers. IRC, however, is still rather unpopular so
some members have started discussing a better persistent chat option
(https://github.com/PyCQA/meta/issues/11) and have started testing
Gitter.im.


Blog (Coming soon)
==================

We started discussing a new blog for the organization as a whole:
https://github.com/PyCQA/meta/issues/14

I think we can just use Sphinx + ReadTheDocs and a domain hack for all
of this. If you have other ideas, weigh in on the issue.

Cheers,
Ian (sigmavirus24)
