Message-ID: Hi Python community folk! As we've done for the past many years, Python is hoping to participate in Google Summer of Code.? This is a neat program where students write code over the (northern hemisphere) summer under the tutelage of open source mentors and get paid: we provide the project ideas, mentors and choose the students, Google provides the program framework and the money to pay students.? You can read more about GSoC here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Python participates as an "umbrella org" where many different smaller projects ("sub orgs") that use Python can take part under our banner.? You can also participate separately, but for people who've never done it before and want help or for whom the paperwork is a hassle, you're welcome to join up with us and let us show you the ropes! It's really fun, and we've gotten lots of new contributors to Python-based projects over the years, taking in as many as 70+ students in a single year.? Last year we only had 15, though, so we've got lots of space for new mentors and new projects. We need a good set of sub-orgs and ideas by Feb 4th for our application, and if we're accepted by Google we'll be able to add a few more ideas and groups until March 5th or so. Sound intriguing?? You can read all about what we're doing at http://python-gsoc.org/ (which has answers to questions like "what does it take to be a mentor?" and "what does it take to be a sub-org?")

Lemburg) Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 10:26:27 +0100 Subject: [PSF-Community] EPS: Announcing the Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant Message-ID: At the last General Assembly of the EuroPython Society (EPS) at EuroPython 2018 in Edinburgh, we voted on a new grant program we want to put in place for future EuroPython conferences. We all love Python and this is one of the main reasons we are putting on EuroPython year after year, serving the "cast of thousands" which support Python. But we also believe it is important to give something back to the main team of developers who have contributed lots of their time and energy to make Python happen: the Python Core Developers. This group is small, works countless hours, often in their free time and often close to burnout due to not enough new core developers joining the team. Free Tickets for Python Core Developers --------------------------------------- To help with growing the team, putting it more into the spotlight and give them a place to meet, demonstrate their work and a stage to invite new developers, we decided to give Python Core Developers free entry to future EuroPython conferences, starting with EuroPython 2019 in Basel, Switzerland In recognition of Guido?s almost 20 years of leading this team, and with his permission, we have named the grant ?Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant?. Details of the grant program are available on our core grant page: https://www.europython-society.org/core-grant PS: If you are a core developer and want to organize a workshop, language summit or similar event at EuroPython 2019, please get in touch with our program workgroup (program at europython.eu) soon, so that we can arrange rooms, slots, etc. PPS: If you want to become a core developer, please have a look at the Python Dev Guide: https://devguide.python.org/coredev/ Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible.
